An explosion has occurred at a motor park in Jimeta, Yola, the capital of Adamawa State.
The explosion was suspected to be from an Improvised Explosive Device.
A witness, Mohammed Danasabe, said the explosion was so loud it could be heard all over the city. He said many people were killed, but could not give a figure.
“I am currently at the scene and we are helping to evacuate injured to the Hospital, there are many dead bodies all over the place,” he said.
