Today, being 22 December, 2014 marked another sorrowful day for the people of Gombe state as the heartless beings (Insurgents) in our blessed nation, Nigeria threw another bomb at Bus station that maimed at least 22 people instantly.
Without doubt, we have ascertained that the lives of these innocent people of our great nation, Nigeria are nothing to write home about, but of sorrow, death, hardship, kidnapping and missing souls as 2015 election is knocking on our doors.
The insurgency has forced more than 1.5 million people from their homes, straining resources in the embattled northeast, as communities struggle to care for those displaced.
Underscoring the severity of the crisis, 185 people, mostly women and children, were kidnapped on December 14 from the town of Gumsuri in Borno.
The attack recalled the kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls from a school in the town of Chibok in April, a mass abduction that Jonathan vowed would not happen again.
“There was an explosion at the Dukku motor park. The Red Cross mobilised with 20 body bags and they have all been exhausted,” said Abubakar Yakubu Gombe, area secretary for the Red Cross.
“We are still looking for more bodies among the carnage,” he told AFP, adding that another 18 people with “serious” injuries had been taken to hospital.
The bomb was planted near a bus that was filling up with passengers, said Mato Yakubu of the National Orientation Agency, a government body responsible for the media.
He said the blast occurred at 10:50 am (0950 GMT) at the station on the outskirts of Gombe city, capital of Gombe state.
May their gentle souls rest in perfect peace.
