He said two people died and 21 were maimed in the Nyanya blast; 13 other people died in Kuje with 20 others sustaining injuries.

A cop shoppe in Kuje was among several locations struck in the latest attack, where ajacket wallah'> Only the bomber died, according to a police source, who also claimed the blast was intended to cause confusion to allow attackers a free rein in the other areas. Friday's incident was the third major blast in Nyanya -- a densely populated suburb -- since Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter.
