Another Bomb Explosion Rocks Jos

Less than a week after multiple explosions killed over 200 people in Jos, the Plateau State capital, another round of explosion just went off in the city tonight. And according to residents, the explosion occurred around 9pm, along Bauchi Road  near the University of Jos, Jos North Local Government Area.

Reuters reports that the explosion was a botched suicide bombing that was meant to target an open air viewing of a football match in the central Nigerian city of Jos and it killed just the bomber. The bomber approached Jos View Centre while people were watching Real Madrid play Atletico Madrid, but failed to get there before his car exploded.

The spokesperson of the Police State Command of the Nigeria Police, Felicia Ali, has confirmed the incident but said details were still sketchy.
