Pres. Jonathan was not the target in today's bomb blast - Police



The Nigeria Police says President Jonathan was not the target of the bomb blast that happened outside the Pantami stadium, venue of the PDP Presidential rally in Gombe state earlier today. In an interview with Premium Times, the Gombe state Police command spokesperson, Fwaje Atajiri, said GEJ had long gone when the female suicide bomber stormed the road close to the venue of the rally.
"The president was long gone before the blast and if not for media, he would not (have known of the blast) so he could not have been the target. The suicide bomber was heading to her target when the bomb she was carrying went off in an empty place prematurely because of the high level of security put in place. The suicide bomber and a passerby were the ‎only casualties, while six persons were injured but not fatally.
