Bomb Blast Kills Two In Gombe After President’s Campaign Rally

There was pandemonium in Gombe and Rivers States on Monday when both states were hit by a series of bomb blasts, one of which was masterminded by a female suicide bomber that led to the death of at least two persons.

The blast in Gombe occurred near the Pantami International Stadium in the state capital less than five minutes after President Goodluck Jonathan had left the stadium where he had gone to campaign for his re-election bid.

Spokesperson for the Gombe State Police Command, Fwaje Atajiri confirmed this to reporters shortly after the incident.
