JOS, Nigeria—Multiple explosions in central Nigeria killed 32 people and six others died in attacks by Muslim sect members on two churches in the north, officials said Saturday.
Police spokesman Mohammed Lerama said 32 people died and at least 74 were injured in four bomb blasts Friday night that went off in close succession in different parts of Jos in central Nigeria—a region violently divided between Christians and Muslims.
Manasie Phampe, the Red Cross secretary in Jos, gave slightly different figures and said 52 people were injured. Some of the injured were in intensive care at the Jos University Teaching Hospital.
