Three persons have been confirmed dead in a bomb attack suspected to have been carried out by the Boko Haram sect at The All Christian Fellowship Church in Suleja, Niger State today.


Four persons were also seriously injured and rushed to hospital.


The incident was confirmed by the spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency, Yushau Shuaibu.


Saharareporters says the group earlier today also bombed a target near the College of Legal and Islamic studies in the downtown area of the Borno State capital, Maiduguri.


The attack came a day after Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima was saved by soldiers from a Boko Haram plot.


Reports said suspected Boko Haram members gave a bomb to a 10-year-old boy and asked him to get as close to the governor as possible during his condolence visit to victims of recent attacks in the AA Kotoko residential area of Maiduguri.


However, the plot was foiled when soldiers discovered the bomb and defused it.


Also on Saturday, suspected Islamist militants threw a bomb at soldiers on patrol in the state capital and engaged the military in a gunfight at Kaleri in London Chiki area.


More details later.

Can good-luck actually handle the security situation in these country

As usual everyone blaming GEJ with no single solution to proffer. After 9/11 the entire USA rallied together no matter their differences, but here in Nairaland you see eediots who cannot even control their one bedroom apartment properly dishing out insults. The game plan of the Northern bad-belle is at play here with even 10 year old throwing bombs and when army shoots people, the useless eediots on NL will say civilians are been killed. Boko haram are normal Maiduguri and northern nigerian citizens who see non-natives and southerners as enemies. Stopping a rebellion is simple but stoppin an idea is child's play, but overall boko haram will be crushed at a collateral damge to civilian life because they are normal civilian cowards taken refuse as normal citizens and throwing bombs all over the place.boko haram will be crushed.
I thank God that my elder brother who was actually in that church escaped unhurt, may the sols of the dead rest in the bosom of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, AMEN.
