Bauchi Suicide Bomber Blows up Self

A male suicide bomber was on Tuesday ripped apart by his own explosive device in Bauchi, after travelling by public transport for more than 393 km with the device from Yola , Adamawa state.

The bomber, now in critical condition at the Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi, and closely monitored by security agents travelled in a commercial bus to Bauchi, concealing the bomb in his backpack. 

Luck ran out on the bomber when he carelessly dropped the bag on the floor to urinate in a corner. The device subsequently detonated, dismembering his lower limb and an fingers.

Shortly after the incident, while conscious and in pains, the bomber told onlookers - including police officers who had come to arrest him - that he was part of a larger cell of the terrorist Boko Haram sect who are infiltrating the city to carry out an assignment in “God’s name.”

He said his colleagues were on their way to the city from other towns.

Very happy he got blown up, I pray more will happen like this.... Check out photo of the blown up bomber after cut...

Suicide Blast Kills 15, Injures 40 at Living Faith Church Bauchi

The suicide bomber tried to drive an explosives-packed car into the church this Sunday morning and killed at least 15 , including himself, and injured 40.


Speeding up his vehicle, the attacker approached a checkpoint near the church in Bauchi State, which has previously been hit by Islamist group Boko Haram and where tension between Muslims and Christians has led to violence in the past.
Witnesses said the force of the blast near the Harvest Field of Christ Church on the outskirts of Bauchi city caused the building to collapse on the worshippers inside.
It is well with Nigeria... Wish the injured speedy recovery and may the souls of those lost rest and peace (Amen).
