Pieces of human flesh were seen on Saturday morning littering the roadside in a suburb of Abuja, Nyanya, where an explosive went off late on Friday.
The explosive was stated to have been detonated at the Jikwoyi Park, Nyanya, on the popular Abuja-Keffi Expressway, claiming yet-to-be ascertained number of lives.
The late Friday blast was the third to be recorded in that vicinity.
Two previous incidents with heavy casualties were witnessed there last year.
At the scene the next day, a combined team of soldiers, policemen, officials of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps as well as the Federal Road Safety Corps were seen controlling the crowd of onlookers which kept increasing every minute.
Some policemen wearing black T-shirts marked “EOD” were seen picking pieces of human flesh that still littered the road side.
The pieces of flesh were being packed inside cartons by the security operatives as wailing residents looked on.
Buses and cars that had their windscreens shattered as a result of the impact of the blasts were still at the scene.
An eyewitness said: “What you see them packing now are pieces of flesh because many of the victims were torn into pieces. Corpses with several missing parts were taken away last night,” he stated.
The incident has caused a serious traffic gridlock on the expressway inwards Abuja as many motorists made attempt to get a glimpse of the scene.
