While witnesses have told Reuters that 32 people have been killed, there has been no official confirmation of the number of casualty from the Thursday evening twin bomb blast yet.
The Public Relations Officer of the Plateau State Police Command, Emmanuel Abuh, confirmed the incident but could not ascertain the casualty figure.
The incident occurred in the ever busy area and commercial nerve centre of the city around 6.30 p.m. local time, as most people were closing for the day from their various business ventures.
Channels Television learnt that one of the Improvised Explosive Devices went off near the terminus round about where tricycles clustered in large numbers seeking passengers going towards Apata and Farin Gada axis.
The second explosion occurred few minutes later, about 500meters away from the first blast where commuters going towards Dadinkowa area were affected.
Members of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) and the Red Cross have since been transporting the injured to hospitals for treatment.
The injured, who have been taken to Plateau Specialist Hospital, are mostly women and children.
