Several bombs detonated a short time ago in the Kuje, Jikowyi, Maraba
and Nyanya area of the Federal Capital Area of Abuja, shattering the
peaceful atmosphere that had reigned in Abuja for more than a year.
A security source said that they could only confirm two bombings with one detonated just behind Kuje police station. In a separate incident, another bomber detonated explosives at Nyanya area of an earlier bombing in the city.

Yesterday’s bomb attacks seemed to
have been predicted in tweets by one “Chima Okoro63” who posted several
tweets on October 1, 2015, stating that Islamist insurgents belonging to
Boko Haram planned to bomb police, navy and army formations and kill
many security agents.
It is unclear whether Nigeria’s security agents were aware of the tweets or if they took any action based on them.

Security source said he could not say how many people died in the Kuje
blasts. “We’re still trying to secure the areas. We don’t know the
number of people killed or wounded,” he said.
