Prof. Lawal Khalid, the Chief Medical Director, Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Shika, on Tuesday, said the death toll in the Zaria suicide attack now stood at 26.
Khalid
told journalists in Zaria that 31 injured persons in the attack were
brought to the hospital and one of them was in critical condition.
He said the remaining 30 victims on admission at the hospital were in stable condition and responding to treatment.
The
CMD lauded the people of the area for their massive donation of blood,
saying the gesture had helped to save the lives of the victims.
The
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that a teenage suicide bomber
attacked the secretariat of Sabongari Local Government Area, where
hundreds of workers had turned up for verification of their service
records.
The verification was ordered by the Kaduna State Government to weed out non existing workers from its pay roll and conserve funds for development.
