Men of the Imo State Police Command, Sunday arrested six suspected Boko Haram members inside the Winners Chapel Owerri, along Port Harcourt road, while planting bombs in the church premises.
According to an eye witness account, the security personnel attached to the church noticed strange movements within the church premises and monitored their movements.
The security men alerted the senior pastor of the church, Moses Oyedele who instructed them to alert the police which they did and the Police immediately rushed to the scene with soldiers and other security agents.
It was discovered that about six suicide bombers have taken over the church perpetrating their nefarious activities.
The source said that the police immediately cordoned off the church premises in search of the suspects leading to the arrest of the suspects.
It was discovered that the suspects had planted a bomb at the entrance gate of the church and had taken position round the premises of the church so as to plant more bombs.
The police anti-bomb squad which detonated the bombs, conducted a thorough check
round the premises so as to detect any hidden bomb within the premises.
When interrogated the suspects confessed to be suicide bombers who had stormed the state with the intention of bombing five churches within the state.
The church authority on getting the information in respect of the latest development alerted members of the congregation to relocate the service to the Heroes Square near Imo Concorde Hotel where they conducted their first service which was supposed to begin by 7am.
When contacted, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Adbulmajid Ali advised the citizens to be very vigilant now that the Boko Haram men have penetrated the State. He confirmed that the anti-bomb disposal Unit of the state police command has detonated bombs, adding that investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident was being carried out.

Fake BOKO HARAM. This government is trying to pitch the north against the south. Christians against muslims, to cause division and use it as an election winning strategy. I have said it over and over again and very soon, the truth will be revealed. He who created the eyes, our great God sees and He who created the ears, hears. he is using his niger delta militants to feign these things so that there can be confusion. These are targetted at states controlled by the opposition. Lets be careful because this is what PDP will be using as strategy as run up to the election.
DIS IS D BEGINING OF D END OF NIGERIA ROAD TO 2 BIAFRAN WAR

Do not care abt d security of d pple, every day trucks carring humanbeing 4rm d north offloading dem @ relief mkt, d worst of it all, d Gov gives dem position and places to build their cartoon nd wooden houses, such pple, what do u expect 4rm dem. If ure in owerri u will understand. Look 4 d black goat b4 dark nd no medicine after death.
Yinka it pains my heart to waist my precious time to read from disgruntled and uninformed elements like you. I believe you are an adult and yet allow yourself to be brain washed. It is not a secret that the northern elders said that they’ll make Nigeria ungovernable if President GoodLuck wins the election. It’ll profit the north more to continue their nefarious acts in the north and leave the Igbos alone otherwise they get drunken with their own blood. A word is enough for the wise.
what kind of religion preach to kill people in d name f God. Muslims r bn brain washed. Wat a wicked religion
It will not happn
They should lv east alone and go and bomb their region
