Another bloody Sunday


•Five killed in attack on Jos church, reprisal •Two dead in Borno •Pastor, wife, two children, 48 others injured in suicide bombing

It was another bloody Sunday yesterday. No fewer than seven persons died —  many were injured  — in attacks on two churches during service.

The nation is still mourning  the death of no fewer than 153 people in the Dana Air plane crash in Lagos on June 3. Also on that day, 14 people were killed in an attack on two churches in Bauchi.

In Jos, the Plateau State capital, yesterday’s suicide attack was the third on worshippers since January.

The second attack was at the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria in Biu, 180 kilometres to Maiduguri,  the Borno State capital.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Joint Task Force (JTF) spokesman Lt. Victor Ebhaleme told AFP on the telephone in Maiduguri that two people died and an unspecified number injured during the attack in Biu. Borno State Police Commissioner Bala Hassan said one person died and three others were injured.
