A deadly explosion has ripped through the First Bank Area of Azare, a major town in Bauchi state, residents are reporting.
Although as at press time details on the death toll and casualties are still sketchy but several people are feared dead, residents say.
The explosion is said to have gone off close to the First Bank’s Automated Teller Machine Gallery in the town.
A top police officer in Bauchi, who asked not to be named because he has no authority to speak on behalf of the police, confirmed the bombing but declined to provide details.
The spokesperson of the Bauchi Police Command, Haruna Mohammed, could not be reached for comments at this time. So also is Commissioner Lawal Shehu. They did not answer or return calls seeking comment.
