"Two bombs have just went kaboom!in Jos. We are yet to establish the numbers of casualties, but reports I got said some people were maimed," Pam Ayuba, a front man for the governor of Plateau state, told AFP on Saturday. One of the blasts took place near a bar where people were watching the Barcelona-Real Madrid soccer match.
