Apparently taking advantage of the porous security
situation in Abuja, daring gunmen have hit the
Federal Capital Territory this evening killing scores
of people and injuring others.
As at 9:05 pm 16 corpses were counted at the
Emergency Ward of the Asokoro Hospital while
ambulances were still rushing to ferry in more of
the dead and the wounded.

The bombers, whose identities were yet to be
unmasked, struck at the same transit point they
attacked on two weeks ago at Nyanya in the
suburb of the FCT just as workers who went for the
a May Day celebration were retuning to their
bases.
Unlike the last blast, which was targeted at the
major bus terminal, the latest attack was
concentrated on the opposite side of the terminal,
which is used by commuters.
Security men, who were taken unawares by the
deadly attack, as usual, promptly mobilised and
blocked all routes leading to an from the scene of
the attack.
The development meant worsened the gridlock on
the Nyanya-Abuja-Keffi Road and frustrated many
commuters.
