More information to the bomb blast available to 247ureports.com indicates that the two lecture theaters that were struck [Lecture theater 1 &2] was being use by a Catholic congregation comprising of university workers and their family members – the the non-catholic congregation worshipped at another theater – which was reported to be under-going renovation – and so the congregation were not at the lecture hall -instead they were congregated at an open–air stadium for their service.
For this reason most of the non-catholic’s who were attacked -sustained gunshot injuries. Among those that sustained gunshot injuries were:
- Mrs [Dr.] Ololobu
- Mrs Aliyu – lives at the new campus of Bayero University – she is receiving treatment at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital
- Patricia

Other injured persons are reported to litter the clinics and nearby hospitals. A source within the police department indicates that the death toll might number above 30 by the time the final numbers come in.
