Explosions in Nigeria's north central city of Jos and the northeastern town of Biu over the past two days have killed at least 34 people, witnesses said Thursday.
Residents say at least 15 people were killed in two bomb explosions at a bus station and motor park in the city of Jos. Iliyasu Aliyu, a resident there, told the Associated Press he heard a "loud sound" after finishing evening prayer and heard another blast moments later. He said he counted at least 15 bodies.
Another resident Mark Lipdo told AP the first explosion went off at a bus stop near a university. The second bomb detonated near a motor park, he said.
On Wednesday, a suicide bombing in the northeast Nigerian town of Biu killed about 19 people and injured 17. The bodies and remains of about 20 people were brought to the hospital in the town in Borno state after the attack, said Nasiru Buhari, a member of the Civilian Joint Task Force, formed by residents to fight against Boko Haram.
