Bomb Blast rocks Kaduna

Report indicated that the explosion went off a few blocks near the Evangelical Church of West Africa, (ECWA) and that there were a number of casualties.

According to an eyewitness, who said he saw several severed bodies, said the bomb was planted in vehicle and looked like the car was headed for one of the churches in the area when the bomb suddenly detonated at a junction killing several persons including Okada riders and bystanders.
Residents speculated that the explosives were placed in a badly-mangled car, seen outside the church, as a service was taking place. A hotel is also located in the area.
