The death toll from the explosion that ripped through a busy market in Yola yesterday has risen above 31, according to an emergency official on Friday.
“So far, we have 31 dead victims and 38 people in hospital receiving treatment” as a result of Thursday’s blast, the National Emergency Management Agency’s coordinator in the city Sa’ad Bello told AFP.
“Some whose injuries were not severe were discharged,” he added.
The blast happened at about 7:40 pm at the Jimeta Main Market in the Adamawa state capital, just as traders were finishing business for the evening.
