http://af.reuters.com/article/nigeriaNews/idAFLDE72J09Y20110320?feedType=RSS&feedName=nigeriaNews&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+reuters/AfricaNigeriaNews+(News+/+Africa+/+Nigeria+News) Attackers killed by own explosives in central Nigeria JOS, Nigeria, March 20 (Reuters) - Two men were killed in the central Nigerian city of Jos on Sunday when explosives they were carrying on a motorbike went off, preventing what local residents said was an attempted attack on a Christian community. More than 200 people have been killed in sectarian violence since late last year in and around Jos, which lies in Nigeria's "Middle Belt" between the mostly-Muslim north and predominantly Christian south. Christian youths angered by what they took to be an attempted attack by members of the Muslim Hausa-Fulani ethnic group set fire to the corpses of the two men in the Nasarawa Gwom area of Jos, police commissioner Abdulrahman Akano said. "The explosives killed the two men. They died instantly," Akano told Reuters. Some reports said the attack had been meant for a nearby church, but Akano said it was impossible to say where the men had been headed. There have been frequent clashes between Christian and Muslim mobs in villages around Jos since a series of bombs were detonated during Christmas Eve celebrations in December, killing scores of people. Tensions are rooted in decades of resentment between indigenous groups, mostly Christian or animist, who are vying for control of fertile farmlands and for economic and political power with migrants and settlers from the Muslim north. The violence is largely contained within one region of Africa's most populous nation and does not on its own threaten to derail presidential and parliamentary elections in April, though the area is a potential flashpoint during local polls. |

@ efisher @eku bear @orbaxy the caption is in order. no prejudice please. there was attempt (attempts) to bomb a church (or churches). multiple. bou God, as usual, stopped it. God has been protecting His people in diverse ways. those who follow the crises in Jos with open eyes see it clearly. on the same day, high-capacity bombs were discovered and removed by the police anti bomb squad, from church premises within the same area. it may interrest you to know that just few days ago a tuck loaded with thousands (x,000s) of bombs was discovered and siezed by the police in Jos. who was the driver? who was the owner of the truck ? who was the owner of the goods? where did it come from? where was its destination? the answer from police is police siezed the truck. you may wishto read more on the topic in both english and hausa, respectively, using the following links http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/Home/5684311-146/explosion_rocks_jos___.csp http://www.bbc.co.uk/hausa/news/2011/03/110320_josbomb.shtml?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter By Ugar Ukandi Odey March 21, 2011 12:39AM print email Three persons were killed on Sunday, when a device assumed to be explosives, exploded at Dualla junction, Nassarawa Gwong in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State. Eye witness report said two men riding on a motor cycle were suspected to be carrying the explosive which detonated in their custody, killing both of them instantly. The third person was riding alone and turned to escape from the scene of the explosion when angry residents pulled him down, before killing him and setting his body ablaze. The mob also burnt the two who died from the explosion. The incident, which occurred at about 9:45am, took place near the premises of ECWA Church, Nassarawa Gwong, some 300 meters from Angwa Rukuba junction. The junction was scene of the multiple explosions that rocked the city on December 24, last year. Pastor in charge of the ECWA parish, Satti Adamu said he was in the church when he heard the sound of an explosion. “When I came out, I was told that some Hausa boys wanted to throw a bomb and it exploded and killed them,” he said. “We had just finished the English service and were about to start the Hausa service when it happened. The confusion and reaction it generated disrupted the Hausa service. So, we did not hold it today.” Statement from Police Plateau state police command confirmed the tragedy. In a bulletin released Sunday afternoon and signed by the police spokesperson, Apev Jacob, the command said: “At about 09:45hrs, two men believed to be carrying explosive devices on them rode on a motorcycle along Nassarawa Gwong, and on getting to Dualla Junction, the explosives exploded on them along the road between ECWA and COCIN churches. The two persons lost their lives in the incident. No church was bombed and there are no facts yet to suggest that churches were the target.” Lucky escape However, security was immediately beefed up around the Mountain of Fire and Miracles church, near VIO’s office, after men of the anti bomb squad uncovered a high-capacity bomb which was planted a few meters from the church building. A bomb expert at the state police, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the discovery. “If the bomb had gone off, its impact could have raged as far as 500 square meters,” he said. The state police commissioner, Abdulkareem Akanno later went into an emergency talk with the men of the anti bomb squad. But the result of the meeting was not available to the press. |
