Another explosion has been recorded at Zuba International Market near Abuja killing one and  injuring 10  others.

According to a victim , Adoga Stephen, the explosion occured around 8. 00 PM Nigerian time yesterday at a popular  drinking joint in Zuba.

"I am a barman at the joint as I was serving drinks to our customers I just heard a loud bang and when I look up it was fire and smoke everywhere.

The force of the explosion threw me up and when I landed on the ground I discovered I couldn't move. "

Stephen sustained lots of injuries.

Security agents cordoned off  the scene of the blast this morning when our reporters visited.
