Pres. Jonathan Was Not The Target In Today’s Bomb Blast – Police

The Nigeria Police says President
Jonathan was not the target of the
bomb blast that happened outside
the Pantami stadium, venue of the
PDP Presidential rally in Gombe
state earlier today.
In an interview with Premium
Times, the Gombe state Police
command spokesperson, Fwaje
Atajiri, said GEJ had long gone when
the female suicide bomber stormed
the road close to the venue of the
rally.
“The president was long gone before
the blast and if not for media, he
would not (have known of the blast)
so he could not have been the
target.
The suicide bomber was heading to
her target when the bomb she was
carrying went off in an empty place
prematurely because of the high
level of security put in place.
The suicide bomber and a passerby
were the only casualties, while six
persons were injured but not fatally.
