Information reaching 247ureports.com indicates that there was heavy explosion at the First Bank Plc along new Kano road in Azare, today 7th of November 2014 at around 10:20am.
The explosion occured at the ATM stand of the bank. With the heavy congestion of people at the ATM stand it is expected heavy casualty will be recorded.
It will be recalled that there was similar explosion at a park in the same town few weeks back. Out of the five remaining banks in the town ( two, GTB and former Intercontinental, were bombed by Boko Haram in one of their numerous bank raids) only First Bank ATM seems to function well resulting in numerous people from nearby villages and as far as Potiskum in Yobe state trooping to the First bank for regular cash withdrawals – anytime salary is paid.
About 20 bodies counted so far, by eye-witness!
