Residents of the area say they heard the explosion on Thursday evening close to the same spot where an explosion killed over 70 people on April 14. Some 9 persons have been confirmed dead with an unspecified number of injured in a bomb blast that ripped through Nyanya, Abuja early this evening.
Security agencies have condoned off the scene of the attack and prevented reporters from accessing the scene.
A Saharareporters correspondent at the Asokoro General Hospital saw at least six dead bodies brought by ambulances from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).
Security agencies said one twenty person are receiving treatment in area hospitals with the vicinity of the blast.
The latest blast will be a big blow to a planned Nigerian Economic Forum scheduled for the Nigerian capital city next week.
