A spokesperson for the Nigeria Police force, Frank Mba, has
said that 12 persons are confirmed dead in a new bomb blast that ripped through
a taxi park in Nyanya, Abuja, about 8:50PM Nigerian time.
Mr. Mba who spoke to reporters at the scene of the
blast also said 19 people were injured
in the attack.
The latest blast, coming 16 days after the first in which at
least 70 were killed and 200 injured, will be a big blow to a planned Nigerian
Economic Forum scheduled for the capital city next week. Nigeria has been assuring foreign governments
that the environment is secure for the conference.
