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,”
The bomb was detonated after the suspected suicide bomber was denied entry. One dead and several injured.
It would have been worse if the main church building was hit. Thank God it only happened at the gate.”
