A bomb explosion occurred on
Sunday morning at a Catholic
Church in Kaduna State.
The explosion occurred at St
Theresa’s Catholic Church in the
Unguwa Yero, Badarawa Kwaru
area of Kaduna.
Reports indicate that a car, a
Honda CRV, broke through the
church fence into the church,
and exploded.
Witnesses say before the
explosion, may worshippers,
close by, thought the car had an
accident and rushed towards it
to help the likely victims. The
subsequent explosion caused
varying levels of injuries to the
rescuers, many of whom have
been rushed to the hospital.
Some witnesses also claim to
have seen many bodies that
were subsequently evacuated.
The driver of the car died
instantly, witnesses said.
The area of the blast has been
cordoned by security officials
and members of the Federal
Road Safety Corps.
Kaduna State Police
spokesperson, Aminu Lawal,
who confirmed the blast said
only the suicide bomber-the
driver- died. The number of
injured is yet to be ascertained.
No group has claimed
responsibility yet for the attack,
though the insurgent group,
Boko Haram, have carried out
similar attacks targeting
churches.
