Few hours after the bombing of popular EMAB Plaza, the
Coordinator, National Information Centre, Mr Mike Omeri, has disclosed that
soldiers killed one of the suspected bombers and arrested another. According to
Omeri, the attackers came on a power bike and planted an Improvised Explosive
Device by the entrance of the shopping
mall. He also confirmed the death of 21 persons and 17 others injured in the
blast which also damaged several vehicles.
The suspects, who attempted to flee the scene of the
incident, were shot and arrested by personnel of the Guards Brigade on patrol
duty in the area. One of them later died from wounds sustained from gunshots
while a bag containing IEDs was also recovered from the suspects.
Some of the victims of the blast are receiving treatment at
the National Hospital, Wuse General Hospital and Maitama General Hospital,
where movement had been restricted. FCT Minister Bala Mohammed gave an
assurance during a visit to the Maitama hospital that the Federal Government
would foot the medical bills of the victims.
