A security guard on Sunday averted
what would have been a high
casualty from a bomb planted at a
church in Plateau State.
The ECWA church was filled with
worshippers when the private
security guard spotted the bomb at
the entrance, witnesses told
PREMIUM TIMES.
The guard picked the bomb and
threw it off the church before it
exploded instantly. No one was
killed from the explosion, although
the guard sustained injuries on the
leg and is currently being treated, a
worshipper said.
Another witness said the police anti-
bomb squad, on arrival, discovered
another explosive device that was
planted at the restroom of the
church.
The ECWA church in Tudunwa is
located near the Federal Secretariat
in Jos, Jos North Local Government
Area of Plateau State.
Meanwhile, the police have also said
no one was killed from the
explosion. The police spokesperson
in Plateau, Abuh Emmanuel, told
PREMIUM TIMES that anti-bomb
experts have been deployed to the
scene.
“Experts have been sent there
immediately to ascertain those who
planted the explosion, and possibly,
the manufacturers of the device.
But I was told no one died in the
incident,” he said.
The Sunday explosion occurred one
week after a similar explosion at a
Redeemed Church in Yobe State
claimed many lives.
