The explosion claimed 22 lives and injured scores. Authorities say that soldiers killed a suspect in the bombing and arrested another.
For us at The Trent, we are totally heartbroken by these events. This video was sent to us by a reader who says he does not know the origin of the video but downloaded it from Facebook.
It is a devastating peek into the carnage that has been going on in Nigeria for over 4 years now, of which a terrorist group which says it is Islamist, Boko Haram has been on a murderous campaign killing over 4,000 people and wounding even more.
This video begins just as the bomb goes off. It captures the raw moments of the sad attack on innocent citizens and runs for just over 15 minutes. The content is uncensored and graphic and we advise discretion in viewing.
This is published with a deep sense of responsibility and the hope that the conscience our nation would awaken and the people would rise together and speak one voice against terrorism and those who seek to destroy our country.
May the Lord receive the dead and may he bring peace to our country.
