Roads and streets leading to worship centres in Jos and environs, will henceforth, be blocked to vehicles during church services to check the new trend of suicide bombing of churches.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the decision was among key measures taken at a security meeting on Tuesday in Jos.

The meeting attended by the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Dipo Ayeni, Special Task Force (STF) Commander, Maj.-Gen. Mohammed Ibrahim and SSS Director, Mr. Christian Ojobo.

Also in attendance were the NSCDC Commander, Mr. Desmond Agu, top security officers and representatives of Plateau government.

Ayeni, while announcing the decision at a stakeholders security meeting on Tuesday in Jos, said, “we are tired of carrying corpses every Sunday.

“On Sundays and Fridays, all roads leading to all worship centres must be totally blocked or diverted. No vehicle should have access or park near any worship centre during service.

“There should be perimeter fencing of all the worship centres not only in Jos, but all over the state, to prevent easy access by suicide bombers to the places of worship.”

hmnn...good thinking but that means dem suicide bombers will start walking in - terrible. kai Jehova please we pray for more insight

Is that the best counter measure they could come up with? It didn't occure to them the same bomb can be planted in the church on saturday night before sunday service.

And this is how they plan to combat terrorism? Una never start!
Useless country.

good development

We pray it works , but we all know Bokoharam will always devise another strategy

THIS IS GOOD IDEA!! THEREFORE NO CHURCH MEMBER WILL EVER WEAR KAFTAN AND TURBAN TO DISGUISE LIKE A MUSLIM TO BOMB A CHURCH AGAIN. THE WHOLE PROBLEM IS NOTHING BEYOND BAD EGGS IN ISLAM & BAD EGGS IN CHRISTIANITY.

If u block the road, the suicide bombers are very very patient. They don't mind waiting at the blockage until the church service is over once they can still accomplish their mission.

write step in the write direction.

I don't know what is wrong with people like u, u keep on complaining "Nigeria is this Nigeria is that" you'll never say anything good about ur country, but take it or live it if God wants u to be an American or an English (as many of u desire) he would have done that 4rm the beginning, but he wants u to be a Nigerian so can't u just face the fact and let's all come together and fight our common enemies: poverty, corruption etc?
