Abuja: A suicide bomber on Sunday blew up a car near a church and gunmen attacked another, killing some worshipers and wounding several others in two Nigerian cities, hundreds of kilometres away.
The bomber drove a car to the entrance of an evangelical Lord’s Chosen Church and blew it up in Rukuba area of the Jos city, a flash point of religious clashes, eyewitnesses said. In another attack, gunmen fired at people outside a church before going into the main building to carry on their killings in northern Maiduguri town.
Many people are feared killed in the attack.


No group claimed responsibility for the attack. However, Islamic fundamentalist group Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for such attacks in the past.

The group’s insurgency has been growing in Nigeria and an attack in the northern city of Kano with multiple bombings and gun shots killed nearly 185 people early this year.

A suicide bomb attack by the group at the United Nations headquarters in Abuja in July last year killed 26 people.

The group has also bombed churches and attacked mosques making its motive somehow hazy. The group wants to reinstate Shariah law and an Islamic caliphate in Nigeria.

The 150-million Nigeria has both Muslim and Christian population, with Muslims predominant in the north while Christians mostly live in the South
