The Bombing explosions were said to have been carried out by a female suicide bomber who attempted hitting the Kuje police station at about 9:51pm and a second blast from a suicide bomber on a motorcycle who detonated explosives in front of the Kuje market, killing dozens of people 15 minutes later while the last was detonated at the Nyanya near Abuja .
According to the reports, the target of the bombing was the freeing of some Boko Haram prisoners that were incarcerated at the Kuje prisons, alluding to the fact that the Nyanya bombing which occurred was meant to be a decoy.
Kuje Bombing was said to have shaken several buildings and sent many residents scampering for cover and several people reported dead.
