The multiple bomb blast which came only hours following the multiple bomb blast in Nigeria’s second largest city, Kano – was said to have not caused any casualties. The area of the bomb blast is said to be an open area where petty traders and hawkers gather in the daytime to sell their items. The area is also refered to as the “Shell Right Of Way”.

No group has claimed responsibilty of the explosion.

The bombings comes on the heels of the launch of the People Democratic Party’s [PDP's] gubernatorial campaign in Bayelsa State. The Vice President of the federal republic of Nigeria, Arc [Malam[ Namadi Sambo is scheduled to kick off the campaign in Yenagoa on Monday January 23, 2012 at the Sampson Siasia Stadium.
