Nine persons have been arrested by the police in Bauchi state for
attempting to attack a COCIN church with weapons and locally made
explosives in Miya Barkatai village in Toro Local Government Area of
Bauchi State.
At about the same time this morning in the Neighbouring Plateau State, a bomb explosion was reported at the headquarters of the same COCIN church during a Sunday service. The number of casualties are about 6 dead and over 50 people injured as at the time of this report.
Mr Ikechukwu Aduba, the police commissioner,who confirmed the
incident, said some people attempted to attack a COCIN LCC Church with
weapons and locally made explosives that can be operated manually.
According to the police commissioner, from investigations carried out
by the police, the suspects are a rival group within the church.
He said,“ It was a rival group within the church that decided to attack this morning. When we got the report, we sent our men,who arrested about seven members of the group. The group had something like explosives, but we are waiting for the bomb experts to confirm our suspicion, because sometimes after investigation it may turn out to be something else and not explosives”.
Aduba added that the Police are still investigating the incident.

Thank God that these devilish people were caught otherwise, a faceless "Boko Haram spoke person" would have claimed responsibility to divert the Government's attention. The Government needs to look beyond religious intonation and beef up its intelligence gathering to unravel the people behind this dastardly act which have claimed the life of several innocent people.
