Several people are reported to be injured outside an evangelist church in northeast Nigeria when a suicide bomber set off his explosive vest amid the country’s ongoing battle against an Islamist insurgency. “There was an explosion outside the ECWA church this morning. A suicide bomber who was restrained from getting into the church blew himself up,” said Abubakar Yakubu, who heads the Nigeria Red Cross in Gombe.“Luckily no one was killed but some people were mildly injured.” A witness said the man arrived during the church service and refused to park his motorcycle outside a security barrier set up by church volunteers.
“He insisted on riding through the barrier,” said Dahiru Badamasi.
“It was while he was arguing with the volunteers that his suicide belt exploded.”
