"The exact figure of the dead bodies recovered as of now is 118 and more bodies may be in the debris of buildings which collapsed due to the intensity of the blasts.” Mohammed Abdulsalam told AFP. He also revealed that 56 people were injured in the twin blasts.
Plateau state Police commissioner Chris Olakpe had earlier told reporters that only 46 people were killed and 45 others were injured. He later said "We are saying 46. That’s the number we have in the morgues. But we are not ruling out more bodies.”Police have reduced the number of people that died today when twin bombs went off at Terminus market in Jos, to 42, but some eye-witnesses insist the number is way higher than that...marking it up to over 200 because it's the commercial hub of the city and was filled with people when the blast occurred.
