Potiskum (Yobe)- The Police in Yobe on Sunday confirmed the killing of six
persons in a suicide bomb attack on a church in Potiskum.
Mr Toyin Gbadegesin, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the state
command, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Damaturu that the death
included the suicide bomber.
The spokesman said: “A male suicide bomber detonated a bomb at Redeem
Church at Jigawa area of Potiskum, killing five on the spot.
“A female member of the church who sustained injuries also died while receiving
treatment in the hospital.’’
He said the injured are receiving treatment at various health facilities in the
area.
According to AFP the bomber entered the uncompleted Redeemed Christian
Church of God at 9:55 am in the Jigawa area on the outskirts of the city in
Yobe state and detonated his explosives, killing the worshippers, including a
woman and her two children as well as the pastor, they said.
“Four worshippers died instantly while the fifth victim gave up shortly after she
was taken to hospital,” a police officer involved in the evacuation told AFP.
“The victims included a woman and her two children, the pastor and another
worshipper,” added the officer who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Witness Garba Manu told AFP the bomber arrived at the church on a motorised
rickshaw disguised as a worshipper and detonated his explosives as soon as he
entered the church.
“I saw when the bomber alighting from a motorised rickshaw and entering the
church and as soon as he entered a loud explosion ripped through the church
which is under construction,” he said.
“I saw him walked into the church and he didn’t raise any suspicion. Five
worshippers, including three females and two males were in the church when
the bomber entered and they were all killed,” he added.
“The dismembered body of the bomber was also recovered,” said Manu, who
lives in the area.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility but Potiskum, the commercial
capital of Yobe state, has been hit repeatedly by Boko Haram Islamists in their
six-year insurgency, including by suicide bombers.
The insurgents have also launched a series of attacks on mosques, villages and
markets in neighbouring Borno state in the past few days, claiming more than
200 lives.
Boko Haram are keen to prove they are not a spent force despite a four-nation
military offensive that has run them out of captured towns and villages since
February this year.
The use of improvised explosive devices and suicide bombings has increased
since May 29 when President Muhammadu Buhari took office vowing to crush
the rebellion.
According to an AFP tally, at least 654 people have lost their lives since that
date.
