We can authoritatively report that a fresh round of explosion has rocked Bauchi, the Bauchi State capital.
A source said a loud explosion was heard around a church in the Bayan Gari area of the city.
The Bauchi state Police Command’s spokesman, Mohammed Hassan, confirmed he had also received report of the explosion and is en route the scene of the reported explosion to confirm the extent of damage and casualty if any.
A suicide bomber who tried to ram an explosives-packed car into a church in Bauchi on Sunday killed a woman and a child while badly wounding dozens more, the Red Cross said.
The attacker targetted the St. John’s Catholic Church in Bauchi, where tight security was imposed after a wave church bombings claimed by the radical Islamist group Boko Haram.
Worshippers were being screened outside the building when the bomber approached, ramming his car into the line of people waiting to enter Sunday services, the head of the Red Cross in Bauchi state, Adamu Abubakar said.
“We have three dead in all, including the bomber, a woman and a child. Forty-eight others were seriously injured in the explosion,” he told AFP. He said the church building was not damaged in the blast.
Officials said the attack occurred in the Wunti area of Bauchi city, capital of Bauchi state.

Dis A diffrent Story…
May the good Lord come to our aid.
Well what can i say, when FG had told dat Boko haram is faceless
and they went ahead to negotiate with d same people the called faceless,
the outcome of the negotiation is yet to be disclosed to the masses,
and here we are today with another blast. The fact still remains dat
we need to come together through national conference and decide
weather we still want to stay together. Instead of shying away from d truth.
R.I.P to lost souls!!!
