An official of the National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA)
confirmed that at least 8 people were dead in suicide bomb attack on worshipers at St. Rita's Catholic Church in
Ungwan Yero, Kaduna, capital of Kaduna State. The bombed church is
within the Malali area of Kaduna, an administrative hub of Northern
Nigeria. NEMA's figure contradicted
initial claims by the Kaduna State Police that only the suicide bomber
died in the suicide bomb attack. Several survivors who witnessed the
bombing also told our correspondent that they saw several dead
worshipers after the attack. They also told SaharaReporters that some
furious worshipers pursued and killed a few bystanders following the
suicide bombing attack.
A security source in Kaduna confirmed that some other people were
attacked and killed immediately after the terror attack. The sources
said security agents in the city were trying to manage the tense
situation in order to avert escalation of reprisal attacks.......Saharareporters
