The suspects were caught as they try to detonate the explosive

Nine bombers, believed to be christians, were apprehended this morning when they attempted to bomb a COCIN church at Miya Barkate, 20 kilometres along Jos-Bauchi Highway in Bauchi State.

The suspected bombers are Lamba Goma, Filibus Danasa, Joshua Ali, Danjuma Sabo, Joseph Audu, Simon Gabriel, Bulus Haruna, Yohanna Ishaya and Daniel Ayuba (who was the immediate past Secretary of PDP at Tilden Fulani Ward, Toro LGA, Bauchi State).

The suspects are members of the same COCIN church, Unguwar Rimi, a new and small Christian settlement between Tilden Fulani and Shere Hills. The suspects who were thoroughly beaten by the public were rescued by police and then detained at the Toro Divisional Police Division before they were transferred to Bauchi State Police Command, Bauchi.

At about the same time this morning in the Neighbouring Plateau State, a bomb explosion was reported at the headquarters of the same COCIN church during a Sunday service. The number of casualties are not certain. The pastor of the targeted COCIN Church in Bauchi is Ishaya Izam, who recently arrived on posting from the Cocin headquarters in Jos, which was bombed this morning.

It is not clear if the two bombings are related. A statement on the event in Bauchi state is yet to be issued by the Police.

Spokesperson of the Bauchi State command of the police, Hassan Mohammed, confirmed the incident but said he would only provide details later.

This lend some credence to the claim by JNI that indeed CAN may be behind most of these bombings only to turn around to pretend victimhood.

Nine bombers, believed to be christians, were
apprehended this morning when they attempted to
bomb a COCIN church at Miya Barkate, 20 kilometres
along Jos-Bauchi Highway in Bauchi State.
The suspected bombers are Lamba Goma, Filibus
Danasa, Joshua Ali, Danjuma Sabo, Joseph Audu, Simon
Gabriel, Bulus Haruna, Yohanna Ishaya and Daniel
Ayuba (who was the immediate past Secretary of PDP at
Tilden Fulani Ward, Toro LGA, Bauchi State).
The suspects are members of the same COCIN church,
Unguwar Rimi, a new and small Christian settlement
between Tilden Fulani and Shere Hills. The suspects
who were thoroughly beaten by the public were
rescued by police and then detained at the Toro
Divisional Police Division before they were transferred
to Bauchi State Police Command, Bauchi.
At about the same time this morning in the
Neighbouring Plateau State, a bomb explosion was
reported at the headquarters of the same COCIN
church during a Sunday service. The number of
casualties are not certain. The pastor of the targeted
COCIN Church in Bauchi is Ishaya Izam, who recently
arrived on posting from the Cocin headquarters in Jos,
which was bombed this morning.
It is not clear if the two bombings are related. A
statement on the event in Bauchi state is yet to be
issued by the Police.
Spokesperson of the Bauchi State command of the
police, Hassan Mohammed, confirmed the incident but
said he would only provide details later.
"The suspects are in the police headquarters but we
give full details after investigators have ascertained the
full situationcould not be reached for comments," Mr.
Mohammed said.

I think that reasoning maybe some what unfair.Yes anyone can pretend to be BH and carry out an act of criminality.To accuse everyone in that group is unfair.Unless proven.

Why is this not in the front page.

I concur

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again: There is the real BH and the fake Boko Haram; and conspiracy to give Islam and the North in general, and specifically Hausa-Fulani Muslims a bad name. Evidently, the lopsided/ biased reporting of ethno-religious violence in Nigeria by the largely Southern/Christian dominated press is not helping matters in this regard at all.

Currently, Christians in Jos are taking reprisal attacks against innocent Muslims, while at the same time here in NL (in another thread) we are also witnessing similar vitriol against Muslims, all courtesy of seemingly effective reporting of the church bombing by the press; yet the same press is less effective in conveying/exposing the capture of these 9 Christians attempting to bomb their own church. 
It will be interesting to see whether this thread would equally also make the front page - like the negative ones against Muslims quickly do.
What is further more interesting is the fact that the bombing attempt was against a branch of same (COCIN) church (HQtrs) bombed the same day in Jos by alleged Boko Haram – the question now remains; could this bombing be credited to the real BH or fake Boko Haram; could it also be part of the conspiracy, just like the failed attempted church bombing by Christians in Bauchi, to frame Islam and Muslims to give them a bad name.

BTW, this is not the first time Christians have been caught attempting/ attacking churches with such intent.
