An explosion ripped through Yola fruit and vegetable market very close the main road in the Jimeta area of Adamawa’s state capital around 8pm at night.

The blast shattered the market in Yola, Adamawa State yesterday evening killed thirty-two people and injured eighty others. Both the Red Cross and National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility but the blast bore the hallmarks of militant Islamist group Boko Haram which has killed thousands over the last six years in its bid to create a state adhering to strict Sharia law in the northeast.
