More than 70 people have been killed in a bomb blast at a crowded bus station on the outskirts of Nigeria's capital, Abuja. This explosion happened when people were about to board buses and taxis to go to work. Eyewitnesses said there were dead bodies scattered around the area, they suspicion of this attack fell on the Boko Haram Islamist extremist group who staged previous attacks in Abuja. Police said that 16 coaches and 24 minibus were destroyed , 40 bodies have been evacuated and another eyewitnesses said that they saw the police picking up and gathering body parts. The blast ripped a 4 ft hole in the ground of the Nyanya motor park. A lot of the other cars and vans exploded because of the ignition of their fuel tanks. Ambulances have been taking the dead and the injured to nearby hospitals, now the police are on full alert in preperation for the next attack.

I think that this is an outrageous thing that happened, why do these Islamic extremist have to do things like these in order to get people's attention. Also why do they have to murder innocence "indafel" to please their god. Also this attack have caused not only life lost but lots of economics lost for the country too as now the government must repair the broken things from the explosion also they need to pay the victims money for their family. All in all this incident is unacceptable and the Islamic group should be taken out for good in case of any future attacks
