FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda On Friday, a series of blasts occurred in five different places, including a residential area, a prison, and a police station in Gombe. A reporter from the Chinese news agency Xinhua said more than 50 explosions were heard in the city.
Gombe state police commissioner Orubebe Ghandi Ebikeme described the situation as “very bad” but did not elaborate.
The bombings occurred within a span of just a few minutes. No casualties have been confirmed yet.
Police officials said gunmen launched simultaneous gun and bomb attacks on a prison and a police station in downtown Gombe.
A prison official said the militants were attempting to free comrades held in the penitentiary.
“We are under siege. A large number of gunmen have encircled the prison, shooting and detonating explosives. It is clear they are Boko Haram,” a warden said from inside the prison.
The blasts forced hundreds of people to evacuate their homes.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Meanwhile, on Friday gunmen killed five Muslims at a mosque in the northern city of Kano, police and witnesses said.
“Two gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire on a congregation in a mosque around 6:30 p.m. (1730 GMT) and killed five people,” Kano state police spokesman Magaji Majia said.
The extremist group Boko Haram has taken responsibility for a number of deadly gun and bomb attacks in several parts of Nigeria over the past few months.
