At least 10 people have been killed while 14 others
sustained injuries from a bomb blast at People's Hotel brothel in Bayangarin
area of Bauchi township on Friday night.
An eyewitness told SaharaReporters that five men in military
uniform perpetrated the heinous act.
The witness said he was at a viewing centre close to the
hotel when the men arrived, detonating explosives and then shooting at random to kill those trying to escape.
“Those of us who saw them thought they were soldiers who
wanted to come and enjoy replays of the World Cup goals that we were all
watching," he said.
“All we noticed was that when they entered, four of them took
positions each at the four corners of the wall. After the explosion, these
people began to shoot at those who did not die immediately and were trying to
escape."
Spokesman of the Bauchi State Police Command, Mr. Haruna
Mohammed, also confirmed news of the
attack.
He said the entire building had been cordoned off, and the
scene secured while investigations has commenced to ascertain the cause, even
though no one has been arrested yet.
The corpses of the bombing victims have been deposited at
the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi, while 14
persons who sustained injuries are also receiving treatment there.
