As we lay on the bed, Lamii asked me about my husband.
I told him what I could, he felt sorry for me. He asked why I hadn't left him, I couldn't give him a straight answer. But I let him know that my kids weren't old enough to fully understand what was happening.
As we talked he caressed my left n¡pple and played with my hair, making me want him again. I asked him about himself, he told me he was 15 years younger than I am and that he'd always loved older women.
He had a girlfriend but she only cared about his money, when I knew I wasn't going to be fucking Lamii for long was when he told me that it was his Aunt Bisi who got him the apartment and the car that he drove. It didn't take me long to decipher that he was in a similar relationship with his Aunt.
That's if she really was his Aunt. I didn't want to share her young lover with her. I checked the time on my phone and told Lamii that it had gotten late and I needed to get home. He agreed, but not before he gave me a parting gift. His parting gift was making me come twice while he ate my p~$$y, I was overjoyed.
I met Lamii two more times that next week until Bisi almost found out about us and I knew it was time to find a new guy. I was deep in the infidelity already and I didn't want it to end so soon, I wondered how to go about looking for a new guy without looking like a wh•re.
I went to some Nigerian dating sites and found a link that led to another link which led to a final link of an agency that connects older women in search for younger boys. I was sceptical about it at first but later decided to give it a try and see how it was going to turn out.
I sent an email of interest to the address provided on the page and within the hour my mail got a reply telling me to send my details, my phone number and a photo of me. I wasn't quite sure about sending such private things to people I hardly knew. For all, I know they could be con artists. So instead of sending them my genuine details I sent a fake name and a photo that wasn't me but of a friend who was about my age.
I sent them a phone number I hardly used and in minutes a call came in. It was a girl's voice.
"Hello, this is Sugar Connects Agency. Am I speaking to Ms. Kemi?"
"Uhm… yes, you are."
"Okay Mrs. Kemi, we received the details you sent to us. I'm sure you read the terms of agreement on our site. We just want you to know that every information you send to us is held in the highest of confidence and can never be used against you in any way."
"Okay" I said.
"Okay, Mrs Kemi…"
"It's Ms. Kemi." I corrected her.
"Oh, sorry. Ms. Kemi. We have about four different young guys looking for older women who stay around your area. Would you want a guy looking for a long term relationship or just a guy looking for money?"
I wasn't exactly sure how to answer that.
I wasn't even sure what I wanted although I'd specified that in the details I sent to them in the mail earlier. 'A nice looking and well-built young man looking for an older lady to take care of him' was what I sent.
"what do you mean by long term relationship?" I asked.
"Well, there are guys who just want to date an older woman who they can stay faithful to for a period of time and there are guys who can be dating 3 older women at the same time. People have different tastes."
I didn't want somebody I'd have to share so the guy looking for a long term relationship was a better option. I told her that was my option and she said she'll send two profiles to me through my email after the call ended. And that, she did, one of them was named Jacky while the other was named Michael. Of the two, Michael was the one with a smile on his face. He looked so homely; with his well cut hair and his geeky glasses.
He looked like a fine young man who ladies would die for. I wondered if the guy in the picture was actually what he looked like in person. I was still a bit skeptical about everything. But at the end of it all, I went for Michael. The lady called me and told me that a date had been arranged for both of us to meet. I chose the time and venue. A place I was comfortable with, she told me that if we met and I liked what I saw, then I'd pay a small token into an account provided.
I agreed and a deal was made.
At the end of it, I lay down in bed and wondered what it was I was getting myself into. Having dealings with people who provided other people with lovers. But whenever I thought of how bad what it was I was doing felt like, I remembered what Tunji himself was doing.
For two straight nights he hadn't returned home at all. I'd called his cell to find out where he was but he never picked my calls. If I had any more tears to shed for him, I would've cried. But I'd cried enough. I wasn't going to let him make me feel miserable.
I'm sure he thought that was how I must feel. I'm sure he thought I soaked the bedsheets with tears each time I wasn't around.
Well, f~ck him.
My date with Michael was happening the next day and I made sure to look as younger than my age as possible. I arrived at the venue, an Asian restaurant, five minutes later and a call came in from the girl at the agency. She said that he was already waiting for me and should be sitting at a table alone wearing a blue t-shirt.
I glanced around the restaurant and found him. I summoned up a bit courage and walked up to him in the best gait I could use. He sat there, both eyes fixed to his phone. He wore glasses just like in the picture although I couldn't fully see his face as his head was bowed.
When I got to within five steps of him, he raised his head and my heart leaped. He looked even more handsome in person. The picture had been an understatement. He stood to welcome me and the smile on his face was even more handsome than his tall, well-built self. I took his hand as he offered me a chair and I sat down.
"Hello, you must be Kemi." Of course, the fake name.
"Yes" I said. "and you're Michael."
"Ah, it seems we both knew each other already. So this shouldn't feel like a first date at all." We both laughed at his joke. He was funny too. Something I liked about a guy. And throughout that date, he made me laugh even more.
At a time, it really did feel like we'd known each other for a very long time. We talked about a few other things and ate the food that had been ordered. He paid for everything afterwards and I was actually marvelled. This guy wasn't looking for money at all. I later found out that he had a good-paying job and so wasn't a 'gold digger' like those other small boys.
I laughed at almost everything he said. He told me he only wanted to be with someone he could be happy with. He was ten years younger than I was and he looked much younger. I knew then that he choosing him over the other guy was the perfect decision.
I made a mental note to pay double the figure into Sugar Connects Agency's account. At least, for fixing this date and making me meet such a wonderful person.
If Michael's wonderful personality made me like him so much already, then it was his love-making that made me fall totally in-love with him.
I told him what I could, he felt sorry for me. He asked why I hadn't left him, I couldn't give him a straight answer. But I let him know that my kids weren't old enough to fully understand what was happening.

My big b••bs got me a major role -Busty Actress Reveals
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Bridget Amos is an upcoming actress who despite coming into the industry not too long ago has made films of her own. The Malaysian based babe recently had an interview where she opened up on her big b••bs.
Excerpts...
Can you flaunt your boobs, stuff like that?
It's part of acting so I can do it. I can play any role. Once you're an actor, you should be able to play any role
Have your boobs ever helped you in getting a role?
Yes, they have. In one English movie, though the movie is not yet out, they wanted someone that has big boobs and can flaunt it, so they called me. I was called by Laitan Sugar and it was because of my boobs they called me for that job. I played the role of a bad character in the movie
What has been your most embarrassing moment so far?
There is an actress, I cannot recall the name now, who accused me of not showing respect by greeting. Funny enough, I greeted her but she chose to ignore, the greeting, coming back to embarrass me in the presence of others that I did not great her. That really got me down. She did not just say I didn't greet her, she also asked me to go home because she was in charge. That was really embarrassing.
Has anyone ever told you to date him for a role?
Yes, but I tell them that I cannot use my body to get roles.
What is your success secret as an actress?
My biggest plan is to be a great actress, well respected and loved. That's why I watch how I relate with everyone in the industry. I don't date guys in the industry but I respect everybody because I believe everybody is important. I think that has been helping me for so long.

Female Military Recruits Passing Through Virginity Test Causes Public Outcry...'two fingers test'
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Female applicants to the Indonesian military must pass a "two-finger" virginity test, a practice that has drawn condemnation from human rights groups.
Indonesia's coordinating minister for politics, law, and security Tedjo Edh confirmed the practice to CNN last year.
The test involves physicians placing two fingers inside an applicant to ensure their hymen is intact.
Human Rights Watch have asked military physicians attending a conference in Bali to urge Indonesian President Joko Widodo to abolish the practice.
Human Rights Watch women's rights advocacy director Nisha Varia described the practice as humiliating.
"The Indonessan armed forces should recognise that harmful and humiliating 'virginity tests' on women recruits does nothing to strengthen national security," she said.
"President Joko Widodo should set the military straight and immediately abolish the requirement and prevent all military hospitals from administering it."
Fairfax quoted Indonesian military spokesman Major-General Fuad Basya as saying the test were done in order to get the best people both physically and mentally.
He said applicants would have to offer an explanation if their hymen was no longer intact.
"If it is due to an accident we can still consider it but if it's due to another reason, well, we cannot accept her," he told Fairfax.

Busted! Anambra Hotel Where Human Meat Is Served For N700
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
A hotel restaurant in Anambra State has been shut down after it was discovered that the outfit served human flesh and also housed an illegal ammunition depot.
The BBC World Service Trusts gathered that authorities were said to have been tipped off by residents who told police of rumors that the restaurant was cooking human meat for customers.
Upon arrival at the joint, fresh human heads that were still bleeding were discovered being drained into a plastic bag.
Ten people were arrested in conjunction with the crimes.
One resident said, "Every time I went to the market, I observed strange activities going on in the hotel. People who were never cleanly dressed and who looked a bit strange made their way in and out of the hotel, making me very suspicious of their activities. I am not surprised at the shocking revelation."
A priest who ate at the restaurant was alarmed when presented with a bill of 700 Naira.
"The attendant noticed my reaction and told me it was the small piece of meat I had eaten that made the bill scale that high," he said. "I did not know I had been served with human meat, and that it was that expensive."

SCAM! APC Lied Candidate Was Dead To Substitute His Name With Another Person...
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
A scandal appears to be brewing in the All Progressives Congress over an allegation that party leaders in Delta State, alongside the national leadership of the party, corruptly substituted the name of one of APC's candidates for the elections, claiming he was dead.
The affected candidate, Christopher Anirah, has accused some leaders of the party, including the National Chairman, John Oyegun, and the party's governorship candidate in Delta state, Otega Emerhor, of conspiring to fake his death.
Mr. Anirah, who was returned winner of the Sapele/Okpe/Uwvie Federal Constituency APC primary held December 7, 2014, said the APC leaders faked his death to substitute his name with another member of the party, Gibson Akporehe.
PREMIUM TIMES has obtained correspondences purportedly from the party at different levels leading up to Mr. Oyegun, despatched to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, resulting in Mr. Anirah's substitution.
The party in Delta State claimed Mr. Anirah was dead, and within 24 hours of his purported passing, obtained a death certificate, a court affidavit, and began despatching letters to effect his substitution.
When Mr. Anirah confronted INEC and asked that his name be reinstated, the electoral body demanded a letter from Mr. Oyegun to nullify the first. The letter was never despatched.
At least one official told PREMIUM TIMES his signature was forged for the scam.
Contacted Friday, Mr. Oyegun declined to comment on the case. The APC chairman told PREMIUM TIMES he had too much to do as a soon-to-be ruling party chairman than responding to "allegations of somebody I have never seen in my life".
But altogether, documents obtained by this newspaper and interviews with party officials, paint a troubling picture of a shocking fraud.
On March 27, the office of the secretary to the Independent National Electoral Commission despatched a letter to the resident electoral commission directing that Mr. Anirah's name be replaced with Mr. Akporehe based on the former's purported death.
A copy of the March 27 INEC letter, with reference number INEC/LEG/LM/27T/10/87 signed by Ibrahim Bawa, acting Director of INEC's Legal unit, was obtained by PREMIUM TIMES.
The letter indicated that INEC was acting in compliance with APC's request, even though Mr. Anirah said he had gone to the commission before to dispute the claim of his death.
Meanwhile, a letter, dated January 20 with reference number APC/NHDQ/INEC/19/015/108 bearing Mr. Oyegun's name and signature was received by INEC on January 23, informing the electoral body of the purported death of Mr. Anirah, thereby asking the commission to replace his name with Mr. Akporehe's.
The January 20 letter had as attachments a "death certificate" of Mr. Anirah; and a January 15 letter bearing the name and alleged signature of Delta APC Secretary stating Mr. Anirah's death and that he be replaced with Mr. Akporehe.
Other attachments included a notification of death letter to the Delta APC chairman bearing the name and signature of Odibo Anirah, purportedly the head of the Anirah family; and an affidavit of death bearing Chidi Okonji as deponent.
Curiously, both the Notification of Death letter purportedly by Mr. Anirah's family head and the death affidavit purportedly deposed to by Mr. Okonji were dated January 15, same day the state chapter of the party forwarded "Substitution of a Dead Candidate" letter to Mr. Oyegun.
That means those processes were completed just 24 hours after the purported death.
Mr. Anirah, declared dead allegedly by the party, said there was nobody with the name Odibo Anirah in his family.
As if to back his claim, the two telephone numbers on the "Notification of Death" letter supposedly belonging to the purported family head, led to people who knew nothing about the case.
While one of the numbers was not reachable, the other was answered by a man who said he was Mohammed from Nasarawa State.
When contacted, the Delta APC Secretary, Mr. Okonji, denied knowledge of the letters. He said the signatures following his name on the documents were forged.
A source in the party accused the Vice-Chairman of APC in Delta State, Cyril Ogodo, as the brain behind the forged documents. PREMIUM TIMES could not independently verify that claim. Mr. Ogodo could not be reached.
But Mr. Anirah, the "dead candidate", said it was Mr. Otega, the leader of the party in the state, who started parading Mr. Akporehe as the candidate of APC for Sapele/Okpe/Uwvie Federal Constituency.
Mr. Anirah said after he was informed of Mr. Odigie's letter to INEC, informing the Commission of his alleged death and that he be replaced, he wrote to INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega, on February 4 that he was alive.
"Then INEC demanded that Chief John Oyegun should write a letter revoking the death substitution letter but he refused," Mr Anirah said in an April 4 letter to the President-elect Muhammadu Buhari.
"Surprisingly, on March 27, Cyril Ogodo the deputy state chairman and Gibson Akporehe now conspired to write death certificate letter that I am dead and should be substituted with Gibson Akporehe. They now mounted pressure on INEC since Chief Oyegun has not written a revocation letter, INEC was compelled to substitute me."
"Sir, I am on knees appealing to your good office to ask INEC to revoke the substitution letter since I am still alive," he urged Mr. Buhari.
"The election has come and gone and APC did not even win the election in my constituency," he said. "What I want is justice because if these people succeed it could be another person's turn tomorrow. The world should know that I'm not dead, I am alive. It's just some people in APC that want me dead, and if anything happens to me and my family, they should be held responsible."
Mr. Anirah said his efforts to effect the arrest of Mr. Oyegun by police had been futile because this is a country where people like Mr. Oyegun are bigger than the law.
The affected candidate, Christopher Anirah, has accused some leaders of the party, including the National Chairman, John Oyegun, and the party's governorship candidate in Delta state, Otega Emerhor, of conspiring to fake his death.
Mr. Anirah, who was returned winner of the Sapele/Okpe/Uwvie Federal Constituency APC primary held December 7, 2014, said the APC leaders faked his death to substitute his name with another member of the party, Gibson Akporehe.
PREMIUM TIMES has obtained correspondences purportedly from the party at different levels leading up to Mr. Oyegun, despatched to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, resulting in Mr. Anirah's substitution.
The party in Delta State claimed Mr. Anirah was dead, and within 24 hours of his purported passing, obtained a death certificate, a court affidavit, and began despatching letters to effect his substitution.
When Mr. Anirah confronted INEC and asked that his name be reinstated, the electoral body demanded a letter from Mr. Oyegun to nullify the first. The letter was never despatched.
At least one official told PREMIUM TIMES his signature was forged for the scam.
Contacted Friday, Mr. Oyegun declined to comment on the case. The APC chairman told PREMIUM TIMES he had too much to do as a soon-to-be ruling party chairman than responding to "allegations of somebody I have never seen in my life".
But altogether, documents obtained by this newspaper and interviews with party officials, paint a troubling picture of a shocking fraud.
On March 27, the office of the secretary to the Independent National Electoral Commission despatched a letter to the resident electoral commission directing that Mr. Anirah's name be replaced with Mr. Akporehe based on the former's purported death.
A copy of the March 27 INEC letter, with reference number INEC/LEG/LM/27T/10/87 signed by Ibrahim Bawa, acting Director of INEC's Legal unit, was obtained by PREMIUM TIMES.
The letter indicated that INEC was acting in compliance with APC's request, even though Mr. Anirah said he had gone to the commission before to dispute the claim of his death.
Meanwhile, a letter, dated January 20 with reference number APC/NHDQ/INEC/19/015/108 bearing Mr. Oyegun's name and signature was received by INEC on January 23, informing the electoral body of the purported death of Mr. Anirah, thereby asking the commission to replace his name with Mr. Akporehe's.

Add BBN on 2BAFB965
A group of unknown gunmen has kidnapped the member representing Toungo Counstituency in the Adamawa House of Assembly, Alhaji Adamu Usman.
Usman was said to be kidnapped by the gunmen who stormed his residence at Kofare Ward of Yola around midnight on Friday.
Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, Adamawa Police Command, Mr Othman Abubakar, said the lawmaker was taken away at gunpoint.
He however said that the police were investigating the incident.
Usman is one of the only two members of Adamawa Assembly who won their re-election to the house for a second term after defecting from PDP to APC in the just-concluded general elections.
The incident brings to three the number of kidnapping recorded in the state within six months.
NAN recalls that Alhaji Sani Ribadu, a brother to Malam Nuhu Ribadu and Mr Wilson Gundiri, a brother to Engr Markus Gundiri were earlier kidnapped but later released.
Gindiri was the Adamawa SDP gubernatorial candidate in the just-concluded general elections.

Where are the keys to Enugu House of Assembly
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
The Enugu State Police Command on Saturday denied locking up the state House of Assembly, which has been under locks since 14 lawmakers moved to impeach Governor Sullivan Chime on May 3.
The House was thrown into crisis after the development as about seven lawmakers, who were opposed to the planned impeachment, 'removed' the Speaker, Eugene Odoh, and elected Chinedu Nwamba in his place.
Odoh and Nwamba are both laying claims to the office of the Speaker, but the closure of the Assembly complex means that none of the parties has had the opportunity to hold plenary in the House since May 3.
However, following an ex parte application by Odoh, an Enugu Federal High Court ordered the police to reopen the Assembly to enable the lawmakers to gain access to the chambers in order to carry out their duties.
About a week after the court order, the House of Assembly is still under locks and a team of riot policemen remains in position in front of the locked entrance gate.
The development prompted the court to threaten to commit the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, who is a defendant in the suit filed by the Speaker, Odoh, to prison for contempt of court.
But the police have surprisingly, denied locking the Assembly.
The spokesman for the Enugu State Police Command, Ebere Amaraizu, in an interview with our correspondent, said the police were not in possession of the keys of the padlocks used to lock the complex.
He said the riot police squad was only positioned in front of the locked gate in order to maintain law and order.
The police spokesman pointed out that a police station was situated within the Assembly complex.
Speaking to our correspondent on the telephone, Amaraizu said, "We (police) are not in possession of the keys, we are not the lawmakers, neither are we the sergeant-at-arms of the House of Assembly."

Shut Up -APC To Governors Babangida Aliyu, Lamido
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
The All Progressives Congress on Saturday urged the Niger State Governor Babangida Aliyu and his Jigawa State counterpart, Sule Lamido of the Peoples Democratic to keep their advice on how best to run the country.
The party said the two governors were not in a position to offer the incoming government any piece of advice, adding that they were part of those who tried to resist change during the March 28 and April 11 general elections.
In a statement issued in Lagos by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Lai Mohammed, the APC described the duo's advice as "ill-intentioned."
APC said, "Nigerians have switched from pre-election to post-election mode, making the unsolicited advice and the rehash of the vitriolic electioneering campaign rhetoric from the two governors totally out of tune with reality. Our commitment to Nigeria is sacrosanct, irrespective of the state of the economy. Hence, we do not need any cheeky advice from Governors Aliyu and Lamido. We are not making any excuses, but we will let Nigerians and indeed the world know how much the economy has been wrecked and the role of anyone in bringing the economy to its knees.''
The statement also accused the PDP which the two governors belong of dividing Nigeria along ethnic, religious and regional lines, adding that the two governors refused to join the APC when it was leading the crusade for change.
"They made a wrong choice and lost out, and they must live with the consequences of their choice, instead of continuing to snipe at some imaginary enemies. The chance to be part of a historic opportunity to rebuild Nigeria was offered to the two governors on a silver platter, but they chose to put their personal interests above national interest," the party stated.
The APC stated further that despite the state of the economy, it would redeem its campaign promises.
However, it pointed out that the change that Nigerians had voted for would not come "overnight but through gradual, painstaking and consistent acts of good governance, discipline and perseverance."
It noted, "We are, therefore, calling on our compatriots to give their unalloyed support to the incoming administration as it embarks on charting a new path for the long-suffering nation, while shunning the naysayers who, in their own time, frittered away the opportunity to rebuild Nigeria.''

Sad! 70 Christians Including Pastor Murdered In Plateau
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
70 Christians have been reportedly murdered in Plateau State, including one pastor. The body count was said to have piled up after at least a half dozen attacks allegedly perpetrated by cattle herders. Herders frequently terrorize Christian farmers in Plateau, Bauchi, Kaduna, Taraba, Benue, among others.
The herdsmen regularly raid Christian villages opening up a hail of gunfire, burning homes and churches, and shooting their victims when they run outside to escape the fires.
"The jihadists, in their quest to eliminate Christians in Plateau State and their thirst for blood, have succeeded in killing Christians and burning their houses," said Gyang, a local man whose full name is withheld to protect his safety.
The most deadly attack occurred on May 2 when herdsmen reportedly set fire to the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) located in Foron Town, Barkin Ladi Local Government Area (LGA), killing 27 Christians. The victims included Rev. Luka Gwom and a congregant named Pauline who was married just two weeks prior in the same church building.
The recent raids have all occurred in two areas of Plateau State: Barkin Ladi and Riyom Local Government Areas. These frightening experiences have become nearly a weekly terror for Christians in the region. From April 25 to May 11, Gyang reported at least six attacks on more than eightvillages, some of them targeted more than once during that time span.
"We in Riyom and Barkin Ladi LGAs have been under siege and invasion. Lives have been lost almost every day, and [there is] no serious action from any quarter by the government. But we are still faithful to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ," Gyang said as he recounted an attack that killed two members of the Rim Town community as they were returning from the burial of fellow Christians who were slaughtered in a Fulani raid that happened just days before.
Sadly, this recent string of assaults is nothing new for brothers and sisters in Christ in the Middle Belt region. In mid-March, Muslim Fulani cattle herders massacred 82 Christians in a village in Benue State, according to Nigerian news reports. However, the secular media and Nigerian authorities have been slow to acknowledge these events as Christian persecution.
"It is the longstanding issue over grazing rights and cattle rustling between Egba and Fulani people," police spokesman Ezeala Austin said after the March attack.
Despite the historic tensions Austin cites, witnesses to the assaults often recount that the herdsmen chanted "Allahu Akhbar" during the attack, the Arabic saying, "God is Great," which has become associated with jihadist Muslim terrorism. The herdsmen also continually and specifically target Christian villages.
One Plateau State government official vaguely referenced recent incidents of cattle rustling by predominantly-Christian tribes in Wase LGA in connection to the attacks of the past month, but reports suggest no linkage between the events. Wase LGA is located 160 miles away from Barkin Ladi and Riyom.
International Christian Concern's Regional Manager of Africa, Mr. Troy Augustine, said: "The world should wake up to the forgotten persecution happening all over Nigeria's Middle-Belt region. Extremist Muslim Fulani herders are regularly and consciously attacking Christian villages and slaughtering our brothers and sisters in Christ. I don't know what else needs to be explained to acknowledge that these people are persecuted because of their faith".

Six Killed, 27 Injured By Yobe Female Suicide Bomber...
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
A female suicide bomber on Saturday detonated a bomb at a central motor park in Damaturu killing six and injuring 27 persons.
The park shares fences with a popular market which is patronised by almost everyone in the state.
A witness, Yusuf Ibrahim, told one of our correspondents on the phone that the female suicide bomber came to the gate of the motor park around 11:45am on Saturday and detonated the bomb close to the security checkpoints which led to her death and that of six others.
The incident made many to besiege the Damaturu Specialist Hospital where the dead and injured were taken to find out the whereabouts of their loved ones who might have been affected by the bomb blast.
The Medical Director of the Hospital, Dr. Garba Musa Fika, who spoke to journalists at the hospital said 34 people were brought to the hospital from the scene of the blast, adding that seven of them had been confirmed dead while 27 were being treated.
He also said among the 27 being treated, seven were critically injured and might be referred to either the Federal Medical Centre Nguru in the state or Azare in neighbouring Bauchi State.
The medical director while briefing the governor who visited the hospital also said the victims would be treated with the free drugs procured by the state government.
Governor Ibrahim Gaidam who visited the hospital to sympathise with the victims of the blast condemned the act and stressed that his administration would pay the medical bills of all the victims.
The governor directed the hospital authority to speed up the treatment of the victims and work out modalities for the referral cases.
He condoled with the families of those killed in the blast and called on residents to be more vigilant and to always assist security agents in the fight against terrorism.
The governor, who pledged the support of his administration to the war against terrorism, added that terrorism would soon become history.
The blast paralysed various activities where the bomb was detonated as both buyers and sellers abandoned all their wares and belongings.

Aston Villa's Woes Continues As Mane Records Fastest Premiership Hat-trick
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Sadio Mane scored the fastest hat trick in Premier League history as Southampton beat Aston Villa 6-1 to boost their Europa League
hopes and keep the visitors looking nervously over their shoulders.
Villa knew victory at St Mary's Stadium would have secured their top flight status, but Tim Sherwood's men were left stunned by Mane's record breaking treble, which came in just two minutes and 56 seconds. It shaved 97 seconds off the record set by Robbie Fowler for Liverpool in 1994 and effectively ended the game as a contest inside the opening 16 minutes.
Yet there was more punishment to come for relegation-threatened Villa, with Shane Long netting a tap in and a superb long range
strike.
Christian Benteke's header on the stroke of half time did little to lighten Sherwood's mood, with FA Cup finalists Villa still heading in disconsolate at the break.

Paris Saint-Germain have won Ligue 1 for a third successive season after a 2-1 win over
Montpellier at Stade de la Mosson on Saturday.
Strikes from Blaise Matuidi and Ezequiel Lavezzi ensured the Parc des Princes side finally saw off closest challengers Lyon in the battle for this year's title.
Marseille and Lyon had initially set the pace in Ligue 1, but the capital side eventually proved too strong for their rivals.
Saturday's win sealed their eighth successive victory in Le Championnat and should they beat Reims at home next weekend, their winning run will surpass that of Marseille, who won seven games on the bounce earlier in the season.
It is PSG's fifth league title in their history and in a fortnight they could complete a clean sweep of the domestic silverware when they meet Ligue 2 outfit Auxerre in the Coupe de France final. This achievement has never been attained previously.

Palace Diminish Gerrard's Farewell Party
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard endured a disappointing final home match for Liverpool as Crystal Palace ruined his emotionally charged Anfield farewell with a 3-1 win in the Premier League on Saturday.
Gerrard played all 90 minutes in his 709th appearance for Liverpool but couldn't conjure up one last moment of brilliance at a stadium he has illuminated so many times in his 17-year Liverpool career.
Instead, the 34-year-old former England captain produced a fairly low-key display in a result that ended Liverpool's slim hopes of qualifying for the Champions League. Manchester United qualified instead.
Gerrard, one of Liverpool's greatest players, came onto the pitch before kick-off with his three daughters to a guard of honour from both teams.
Gerrard will join the Los Angeles Galaxy at the end of the season.
