Angry worshippers at the headquarters of
Church Of Christ In Nations (COCIN) in Jos on
Sunday killed one of the two suspected
bearers of the explosives that hit the Church
in the morning.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports
that the bomber and one other, who both
wore army camouflage, drove into the
Church and beat the security before hitting
the building.
NAN correspondent, who was at the scene,
reports that the suspect appeared to be in
his early 30s.
The suspect, who wore a neatly carved
moustache, looked well-fed.
But probably afraid of dying, the bomb
carrier jumped out of the vehicle just before
the blast went off and attempted to run but
could not move as he was affected by the
blast.
The angry worshipers, however, descended
on him and clubbed him to death.
An eyewitness and a worshipper in the
Church, Joyce Dalyop, told NAN that there
were arguments among the worshipers
over what to do with the bomber before he
was finally killed.
``Immediately they (bombers) entered the
Church, one of them jumped out of the black
jeep but luck ran out of him as the explosion
affected him and so he could not run very
fast before he was caught.’’
``Some people even pleaded that he should
not be killed; they suggested that he should
be handed over to Police for further
investigation, but others argued that the
police could not be trusted and opined that
the suspect may be released,” she said.
Another worshipper in the Church, Elder
Bulus Haruna, said that the other bomber,
who drove the vehicle, was blown into
pieces together with the vehicle that was
reduced to only the engine.
``His (bomber) body parts were scattered
everywhere – the legs and hands were
charred and had become roasted by the fire
from the explosion,” he said. (NAN)
