The Boko Haram terrorist group is doing everything possible to cause serious problem in this country. A bomb blast ripped through the outside of the stadium where President Goodluck Jonathan addressed a campaign rally of PDP supporters in Gombe State on Monday.

Eyewitnesses says the bomb was planted in a tricycle station along Abubakar Habu Hashidu Road which is just about 200 meters from the stadium. In fact, the bomb went off just three minutes after Jonathan left the scene of the campaign rally. 

It is not known if any member of his convoy was affected. Security was tight as at the time of reporting.
