to attack the Evangelical Church of West Africa, ECWA
(pictured above), at Tudunwada in Gombe state yesterday
January 1st.
According to reports, the suicide bomber arrived the church
at about 8am in a motorcycle and attempted to forcefully
drive into the premises which was parked full of worshipers
as the church was holding its new year celebration service.
As he made to enter, the suicide bomber was stopped by
members of the church's Boys Brigade stationed at the
entrance of the church for security purpose. The bomb on
him immediately exploded, killing him and injuring 8 others

the military check point leading to the barracks at about
8pm and in the course of waiting to be searched, the bomb
which was in a bag carried by one of the suicide bombers
blew up, killing both of them instantly.
