21 Confirmed Dead In Abuja Bomb Blast As Soldiers Kill One Suspect

The coordinator, National Information Centre, Mr Mike Omeri, on Wednesday, said soldiers killed one of the suspected bombers of EMAB Plaza in Abuja and arrested another.
Omeri told newsmen in Abuja that the attackers came on a power bike and planted an improvised explosive device by the entrance of the shopping mall.
He also confirmed the death of 21 persons, with 17 others injured in the blast, which also damaged several vehicles.
The News Agency of Nigerian (NAN) gathered that the suspects, who attempted to flee the scene of the incident, were shot and arrested by personnel of the Guards Brigade on patrol duty in the area.
One of them later died from wounds sustained from gunshots, while a bag containing IEDs was also recovered.
Some of the victims are receiving treatment at the National Hospital, Wuse General Hospital and Maitama General Hospital, where movement had been restricted.
FCT Minister, Bala Mohammed, assured that the Federal Government would foot the medical bills of the victims.
Mohammed advised residents to be very vigilant at all times and report suspicious movements to security agencies for prompt action.
Earlier, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) had confirmed the explosion which occurred at EMAB Plaza in Wuse 2, Abuja.
Its press officer, Mr Ezekiel Manzo, had earlier told NAN that the agency deployed its personnel for rescue operations in the scene, after receiving information of the blast about 4.00 p.m.
