2 Suicide Bombers Die in Attempt to Bomb Church in Jos

Church services were hurriedly rounded off as panicky worshippers rushed home yesterday in Jos, the restive Plateau State capital where another bomb went off.

When the pandemonium that followed the blast subsided, four people lay dead; 10 were injured.

Two of the dead were believed to be the bomb bearers in whose hands it exploded.

Two other persons were killed by people, who spontaneously responded to the failed bomb attack, which residents believed was planned for a church.

The suspected bombers were believed to have targeted Christian worshipers as Sunday services were underway at the Church of Christ International (COCIN) and the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA).

Speaker of Plateau State House of Assembly Mr. Istifanus Muansat was among the hundreds of worshippers at one of the targeted churches.

Besides, an undetonated bomb was picked up by the police Anti-Bomb Squad from the premises of the Mountain of Fire and Miracle Church, Muritala Muhammed Way.

It was gathered that as the suspected bombers were approaching their target, the device went off. It exploded and killed them instantly.

The loud sound of the explosion sent the worshippers fleeing. News of the incident spread quickly through phone calls and text messages. Churches ended their services abruptly.

Commissioner of Police Abdelrahaman Akano said: “The incident happened at Dualla junction in Nasarawa, Jos North Local Government.

“Two people on a motorcycle were conveying some explosives and while at the road close to COCIN and ECWA churches, the devices exploded and killed two of them instantly. The motorcycle they were riding caught fire and got burnt.

Akano went on: “Apart from the two people that died, two other bodies were picked up – one at Angwa Rukuba Junction and the other from a well around Tina. The youths in the area, in annoyance, set the bodies of the suspected bombers ablaze.”

Yes, as they have vowed that the children of God will not have peace in the land, that is the way God will continue allowing them to fall into the pits they have dug for others. This is only the beginning of their demise. Nonsense.
