YOLA, Nigeria—A bomb exploded in the main market in Nigeria’s northeastern city of Yola killing 31 people, Nigeria’s disaster response agency said Friday, in an attack blamed on the extremist Boko Haram group.
Another 38 victims, some with serious injuries, are being treated in the hospitals in this city already swollen with refugees from the conflict, Sa'ad Bello of the National Emergency Management Agency told The Associated Press.
“I can see blood splattered everywhere, including my car, but I can’t give any detail because we are all running,” bread seller Ayuba Dan Mallam said shortly after the blast.
