Explosions have rocked a major motor park in Nigerian city of Jos, just hours after a suicide bomber attacked a bus station in the northeast town of Biu, witnesses said Thursday.
The explosions occurred at the Bauchi Road motor park in Jos, and many people are feared killed, Xinhua reported.
A witness named Dalap Tanyong said the explosions have killed a yet unknown number of people, injuring several others and destroying many vehicles.
State police spokesperson Abuh Emmanuel, who confirmed the blast, could not ascertain casualty figure.
"I have just been told of the incident, we have mobilise our men to the scene, for now I cannot tell you number of victims," the police spokesperson said.
Another witness said the bombers who were in a car, detonated the device from the car and drove out of the scene.
Casualty might be massive, because it happen twice in a busy place, she added.
A military source said troops were at the scene evacuating dead bodies and those who sustained injuries to hospitals.
