The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Emmanuel Abuh, while confirming the attack, however stated that it was too early to give a casualty figure.

“It is too early to give any figure. We have dispatched our men there and we are expecting feedback from them,” he said.

The Jos attack occurred just hours after a suicide bomber killed five people and himself in a church in Yobe State.
