Bombers, herdsmen kill 36 in Bauchi, Nassarawa

At least 36 people have been killed in three   separate attacks by
gunmen and suspected cattle rustlers in Bauchi and Nasarawa
states.

Fifteen of them were victims of twin bomb blasts in a crowded
motor park along Kano Road in Azare, Bauchi State on Wednesday
evening.

The blasts happened shortly after information filtered into the
town that a man identified simply as Matthew was killed at about
9pm same day in Fur, Bogoro Local Government Area of the state.
The attackers were said to have taken away Matthew’s head and
one leg.

Although the state police command put the death toll at five, an
eyewitness told our correspondent that     he counted 15 bodies at
the scenes of the blasts.
