Blast strikes market in northeastern Nigerian city of Yola
[Ynet] A blast struck a market in the northeastern Nigerian city of Yola on Tuesday evening, police said.

The kaboom occurred at a fruit and vegetable market beside a main road in the Jimeta area of Adamawa's state capital around 8pm (1900 GMT). One witness said he counted more than 30 bodies but officials could not provide details of casualties.

Nobody has grabbed credit but the blast bore the hallmarks of bully boy Islamist group Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
which has killed thousands over the last six years in its bid to create a state adhering to strict Sharia law in the northeast.

"The kaboom occurred at the Jimeta by-pass which houses a vegetables, fruits and a timber market but I am yet to get the number of casualties," said Adamawa state police front man Usman Abubakar.
