Multiple bomb explosions rock Gombe •3 killed, mobile police barracks attacked

AGAIN, the growing incidence of terrorism manifested, on Sunday, as three bomb explosions rocked the mobile police barracks in Gombe, Gombe State capital.
The Gombe State Commissioner of Police, Mr Orubebe Ebikeme, had confirmed the bombing of the  mobile police base in Kwame, in Kwame Local Government Area, on Sunday, killing no fewer than three persons.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that the attackers went to the base around 2.20 a.m., on Sunday, and bombed the base which is located five kilometres away from Gombe town.
The assailants carted away some arms and ammunition during the raid.
The administrative block of the base was set on fire while many cars parked on the premises were burnt.
NAN correspondent, who visited the scene, reported that two corpses were lying outside the perforated wall as the area was cordoned off while armed mobile police men searched both inside and outside the premises.
Ebikeme said he had invited officers and men of the bomb disposal unit from Yola to investigate the incident and promised to give details after the bomb disposal experts might have completed their job.
The commissioner said the base was cordoned off because “there are still unexploded bombs around the area.”
Meanwhile, fresh security concerns in Nigeria heightened, at the weekend, with key Western countries warning their citizens against travelling to Nigeria.
The United States of America issued a travel warning on Thursday, October 13, followed by Australia on Sunday with Canada and Britain re-affirming on Sunday their earlier warnings to their citizens not to come to Nigeria.
