Following the bomb blast, Monday at Nyanya in Abuja, some of the injured victims at Asokoro Hospital needed blood urgently and the message was sent out to the public to come donate blood at the hospital or blood transfusion center. A lot of people came out to donate blood including the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr Andrew Pocock.
