Another Explosion at Nyanya, Abuja...!!!

Just 16 days following the last explosion that rocked Nyanya Bus station on the 14th of April, 2014. Sahara Reporters just sent out a tweet that National Emergency Officials have reported another explosion in Nyanya general area of Abuja.

The news organization spoke with several emergency responders heading to the scene. They are unaware of the cause of explosion.

Some people say the explosion was very loud and it occured on the opposite side of the road where the previous one took place.

Number of casualties is yet to be ascertained but a number of people have died and security officials have taken over the area.

Very Sad and Disheartening...
