Christmas Day Bomb Blast at Catholic Church in Niger State

 

Wasn't going to blog today because it's Christmas and we all should be with family and friends having fun and enjoying the day, but the most unfortunate thing occurred this morning.

More than 20 church goers lost their lives this morning as two bombs exploded during Christmas church service at St Theresa Catholic church in Madalla, Suleja, Niger state.

A car rigged with bomb was parked at the premises of the church, which exploded around 8: 30 AM as church members left the church premises after the Christmas day mass. The second blast occurred when a suicide bomber drove a BMW car into the church premises. Apart from those killed in the attack, several others have been taken to the hospital for life threatening injuries. Many cars were also destroyed in the attack.

My goodness! This is not the way, Nigeria. We can't keep doing this to each other. God help us!
