Suicide bomber kills eight, injures 100 in Nigerian church

Reuters - 49 mins ago




KADUNA (Reuters) - A suicide bomber drove a jeep packed with explosives into a Catholic church in northern Nigeria on Sunday, killing at least eight people, injuring more than 100 and triggering reprisal attacks that killed at least two more, officials said.

The bomber drove right into the packed St Rita's church in the Malali area of Kaduna, a volatile ethnically and religiously mixed city, in the morning, witnesses said.

A spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) Yushua Shuaib said eight people had been confirmed killed and more than 100 injured.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility but Islamist sect Boko Haram has claimed similar attacks in the past and has attacked several churches with bombs and guns as it intensified its campaign against Christians in the past year.

"The heavy explosion also damaged so many buildings around the area," said survivor Linus Lighthouse.

A wall of the church was blasted open and scorched black, with debris lying around. Police cordoned the area off.

Church attacks often target Nigeria's middle belt, where its largely Christian south and mostly Muslim north meet and where sectarian tensions run high. Kaduna's mixed population lies along that faultline.

BODIES

Shortly after the blast, angry Christian youths took to the streets armed with sticks and knives. A Reuters reporter saw two bodies at the roadside lying in pools of blood.

"We killed them and we'll do more," shouted a youth, with blood on his shirt, before police chased him and others away. Police set up roadblocks and patrols across the town in an effort to prevent the violence spreading.

A lone car bomber approached the church gate hoping to quietly drive into the church before exploding the bomb but the security men at the gate refused him entry.

The bomber then reversed his car and rammed it forcefully against the gate of the church, the gate caved in as the bomb exploded injuring several churchgoers...

At EID, there was no bombing, muslims sacrificed without intimidation. The generation of these bombers, their sponsors, supporters and sympathizers are in for Divine judgement. These innocent blood of Christians spilled at regular basis are already crying out for vengeance. Police should protect places of Christian worship as they protected mosque during the EID. Jonathan, wake up from slumber, deal with these blood suckers and save the people from unnecessary tears and heartaches.

But Christians have now sacrificed innocent Muslims in Kaduna. A guy was even burned to death like Aluu4.

So, terrorists acted.
And Christian youth became terrorists.


We have a problem. The terrorists are not unique.

jude33084:

No need for the insult bro you aŋԂ I know who is reponsible for τhis act.

Immediately the bomb went off aŋԂ the Rev fathere was injured, the police started appealing to the christian youth to calm down. We all know that innocent head will roll after τhis attack

No muslim in Kaduna metropolis is free from guilty now, until they point out the guilty suicide bombers and the perpetrators of this brutal act. How are they not guilty when the hide, and harbor the terrorists.

Even if the bomber drove in from Borno last night with the bomb?

So are you safe if you do not point out armed robbers who live with you in your town? Can I kill you for that?

lacasa: Well, RIP To all victims.

And, let me just say, those insulting the guy dat accused Igbos shld just kip shut.

After all just yday an Igbo Mann was caught in Boko activities.

Islam is being framed by all & sundry, jux lyk it wld nt be a new thing if dis suicide bomber was also Non muslim.

There's more to Nigeria's bombing thαt meets the eye & the sincerity by ds govt to handle it is just lacking.


I hope derz ηo 'baseless reprisal attax in Kaduna' fσr both the innocent muslims & Christians' sake'

God help us against evil (amen)

sharaaap! hypocrite which god will help you? tell crippled mohammed to help you.
spewing rubbish

Wadeoye:

Religious extremist... How has Christianity saved the Igbos from their evil ways?

You are a FOOL, how does his/her comment concern the Igbo people? You are an impersonator with several names, Which you are using to insult the Igbo tribe,while, backed by the bigot moderator who publish all your trash while he ban people who retaliate against the useless son of a dirty stinking isaleko ashawo like you. Let me give you one of the good changes the Christianity brought to your tribe recently: nowadays your tribe parents have stopped destroying your ugly faces with an evil cutlass TRIBAL MARKS. Which make your young men and women look 90yrs old when they are not up to 20yrs old. Again it gives your dirty tribal people a chance to, at least bath ones in a week before going to churches. Unlike before your ladies were known by sweaty arm pits with different swarms of flies that follow them round the town when they are hawking agbo your native herbs. Your hatred to the Igbo tribe will never make any negative impact on the Igbo tribe. Useless son of a drunken loafer. Get a life. ALAYE BUS STOP.

Hmm
I think it is time for the SSS to visit, interrogate and take out the heads no matter who they are. If the head of the SSS is a muslim or northerner the person should be replaced. Organise a unit of non muslim or nothern agents and eliminate all targets or sponsors. Once this is done boko haram members will flee for fear of being discovered.

IT WAS ONLY ONE RAM DAT WASN'T KILL MAYBE IT COULD BE boko haRAM....GOD DO HELP OUR NATION..
