Days after a twin bomb attack on Tuesday, another bomb has rocked the city of Jos, Nigeria at about 9.30pm tonight. It happened as a failed suicide bomber tried to drive a car bomb into a crowded football viewing centre where soccer fans were watching the Madrid vs Madrid Champion League Game according to a Nigerian Police Spokesperson.
Below are my TWEETS when it happened. Contrary to the Twitter buzz, I have not been told by police that there were multiple explosions.
UPDATE: 3 dead and 3 injured.
