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.

They can have their virgins in heaven now.

Whosoever sows evil, shall reap death! N-E-M-E-S-I-S

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.

wotso eva a man saws, dat shall he reap;may dis serve as a warnin 2 dose dat say dat Jos will know, no peace;dat the God of peace is already out 2 figth 4 his peaple.long live Jcity!

As at now, Jos has been thrown into confusion. The city has been deserted.

Till they be no more in the Land!

Demons run to the sea to drown!
Whence they came they went. 
Their place is found no more in the Plateau!
