Minna – TWENTY- four hours
after the  blast that claimed
four lives and injured others
at All Christian Fellowship
Mission Church, Suleja,
another blast exploded,
yesterday, at Ecwa Church in
Madalla town,  near Suleja.
The blast exploded at 8:30
p.m. on Monday, on the day
the Acting Governor, Alhaji
Ahmed Ibeto, led a
government delegation and
security agents to Suleja to
assess the incident.
The bomb exploded near the
fence of the Ecwa Church,
Madalla, shortly after an
unknown man was sighted
by a woman near the fence.
Shortly after, residents of the
area attempted to
interrogate the man, but he
ran away, after which the
bomb exploded. It was
gathered that the explosive
was planted in the fence of
the church.
No life was, however, lost
while there were also no
casualties except for the
serious panic which the blast
caused in the area. Shop
owners closed immediately
after the blast.
The state Police Command
Spokesman, ASP Richard
Oguche, confirmed the story,
adding that the explosive
must have been buried close
to the church.
Oguche said no life was lost
in the incident
