More horrific details have emerged of the explosion which occurred yesterday in Nyanya near the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

The attack, which resulted in massive casualty, is said to have left many citizens dead and scores more severely injured.

Eyewitnesses and survivors have told their stories of the terrible experience and it is a sad story indeed.

One account tells of a 15-year-old boy who was heard crying out in pain, ‘Mummy, mummy, don’t let me die’ after his legs were shattered by the blast.

Reports have it that the source of the explosion was a red Volkswagen vehicle which was parked in front of two buses filled with passengers.

The drivers of the buses were said to have objected to the Volkswagen being parked in front of them as they were blocked in but the driver of the erring vehicle allegedly replied saying he only wanted to get change for his ‘passengers’.

The Volkswagen reportedly exploded 5 minutes after the driver and his “passengers'” exited it. The death toll from the attack is said to be in its hundreds but no official figure has been arrived at.
