This picture is not saying anything. Anyways, this does not show religious tolerance, it does not show one Nigeria. Well, one day monkey will go to the market and never will it come back. Why are churches being targeted, and later someone will come and tell us we are in one Nigeria. Unity and progress.

TODAY'S CATHOLIC CHURCH BOMBING IN KADUNA
Many dead and wounded in Kaduna’s day of violence

The suicide bombing of Kaduna’s St Rita Catholic Church and the counter attack that it has spawned has Nigerian church on Sunday, have left over 10 peopledead and 145 wounded.

Christian youths took to the streets of Nigeria’s northern city of Kaduna with machetes and sticks after the blast, targeting those they believed to be Muslims as anger again boiled over due to repeated church bombings in recent months.

Attackers beat a motorcycle taxi driver near the church, then put his bike on top of him before dousing him with petrol and setting him on fire, an AFP correspondent who saw the violence said. Two other bloodied bodies apparently killed by the mob were seen near the church.

Despite the presence of armed security operatives around Malali area, the mob found in motor cycle riders, suspected to be muslims soft targets.
P.M.NEWS learnt that the same group of angry christian youths also attacked a viewing centre, where some Muslims were watching football. Witnesses said no fewer than ten persons were stabbed and injured .
The mob also attacked an ambulance in the ensuing violence, but there was no indication that rescuers were wounded.
To stem the tide of violence, the joint military and police patrol team has blocked all roads leading to Malali and neighbouring villages. And more security men have been deployed to the area.
A JTF helicopter was seen hovering around the town to identify areas where crisis might be brewing .
The exact number of casualties is yet to be ascertained.
At the Saint Gerald Catholic Hospital , Kaduna , 14 persons injured were receiving treatment.
“So far we have eight dead and 145 injured from the church blast,” Musa Ilallah, regional coordinator for the National Emergency Management Agency, told AFP, noting that his death toll included the suspected bomber.
The attacker rammed what residents said was an SUV into St. Rita church, shaking the Malali neighbourhood of Kaduna, a city that has suffered a wave of deadly violence blamed on Islamist extremist group Boko Haram.
“All of a sudden it drove on high speed and rammed into the church wall, forcing its way into the church premises,” said witness Samuel Emmanuel.
“Initially I thought the driver had lost control of the vehicle. Suddenly there was a huge explosion as the car reached the church building. It was dust, fire and smoke all over.”
A spokesman for Nigeria’s National Emergency Management Agency confirmed the bomb attack and said rescuers had been rushed to the scene.
“A number of casualties evacuated to hospitals,” said Yushau Shuaib. The incident was suspected to be triggered by a suicide bomber in a car.”
An AFP correspondent said mobs were yelling “why the church?” and some were carrying weapons, including machetes. Local elders were seeking to restore calm.
Residents had earlier spoken of clashes having broken out between Christian and Muslim residents.
The attack came after Friday’s Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday, but it was not clear if there was any link.

we must destroy these evil foreign structures. the Govt. must take steps to raise these evil structures to the ground and prevent any casualties and deaths at the hands of suicide bombers. we must build Traditional Shrines, dedicated to the Gods, in these places and promote National Religions.

The only 'aftermath' i could deduce from the pics is that everything went back to normal after the 'bombing' and it was business as usual.

Lazy photo journalist capturing pics of a market road and presenting same as bomb site photos.

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.
