A suicide bomber has detonated a bomb at the Evangelical Church Winning
All (ECWA) in Tudun Wada, Gombe, capital of Gombe state, killing an
unspecified number of people.
A security source who confirmed the
blast to TheCable said it occurred some minutes before 9am, while
members of the church were at a service to herald the New Year.
“The
suicide bomber was targeting the church. But thankfully, it was
impossible to access the main building. The bomb was detonated at the
gate,” a member of the church told TheCable on phone.
He could
also not confirm how many people had been killed or wounded, but he
played down the casualty toll, saying: “It would have been worse if the
main church building was hit. Thank God it only happened at the gate.”
