No official list of victims of Monday’s bomb blast in Nyanya on the outskirts of Abuja is available. But the identities of some of the victims were revealed yesterday.
One of them is Aggie Comelius Abba, 32, an employee of the Golden Gate Hotel in Abuja. He was at the park to board an early bus to his office when the explosion occurred.
Abba, a graduate of the University of Maiduguri, lives in Maranba. His brother, Mathias, spoke about him at the Asokoro Hospital yesterday.
A police constable, Friday John Effiong, also died in the blast. He was on his way to work when he was caught up in the blast.
Effiong’s body was found at the Asokoro Hospital by his relatives.
He was posted to the Wuse 3 Police Station. Monday was his first day at work on resumption from duty as he had just returned from a nine-month peace keeping mission in Sudan. But he never resumed.
Effiong was married and had a kid.
Also among the dead is a 38-year-old driver, Alhaji Abba, who had eight children.
Abba was a commercial driver plying Kano – Abuja route.
He arrived in Abuja at 10pm on Sunday, with the intention of taking passengers to Kano on Monday morning.
His brother Panda Sule Abba was making efforts yesterday to collect his body.
