A lone suicide bomber blew herself up
near the Gombe Stadium, venue of President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign
in Gombe State on Monday.
Before the incident which occurred
minutes after the rally ended, suspected assailants threw explosives at
three high courts in Port Harcourt, Degema and Isiokpo in Rivers State.
They also vandalised another court in Omoku.
The Gombe bomber killed two passers-by and injured 18 others while the car used by her was engulfed by fire.
As part of extra security measures put in
place during the rally, PDP supporters were restricted to specific
areas far away from the state box and the podium where Jonathan and the
party leaders addressed them.
On the streets of Gombe, heavily armed
policemen and soldiers condoned off all areas that served as routes to
the stadium and back to the airport.
Jonathan and his delegation wasted no
time after the event as they proceeded straight to the airport where
they flew back to Abuja. ...Punch
