Seven students of the Medical Laboratory Science Department of the University of Jos were among the dead victims of Tuesday’s twin bomb blasts at the Terminal Market in Jos, Plateau State.
They were said to be final year students of the department. Three of them were identified as members of the Redeemed Christian Fellowship.
The students were going to their hostels after receiving lectures at the old campus of the university when they met their death.
Confirming their deaths, the Assistant Registrar, Publications and Protocol, UNIJOS, Mr. Steve Otowo, said bodies of two of them had been identified.’
“All students, especially those in the Medical Laboratory Science Department, have been directed to come to the campus with their identity cards today for verification,” Otowo told pressmen.
He said he had been going round hospitals in the city looking for missing members of staff and students.
Otowo also said the institution was compiling a full list of victims from the university community.
Some friends of the victims have however released their photos on their various social media pages.
