‘Church Bombers Wore Nigerian Army Uniforms’

President, Church Of Christ In Nations (COCIN), Rev. Soja Bewarang,  Jos, has declared that the church’s headquarters  in Jos which was bombed yesterday was “fully secured’’.

“Only God knows why He allowed it to happen because we have always done our best to secure the place,’’ Bewarang told newsmen at the scene of the blast.

Our correspondent reports that the bomb attack was carried out by men in soldiers’ uniforms.

One of the bombers died inside the Jeep conveying the explosives, while one was reportedly lynched by worshippers as he attempted to flee from the vehicle just before the bomb went off.

“Our security is so tight, yet the Mighty God, whom we serve, allowed it,’’ a jittery Bewarang told newsmen shortly after the blast that killed three and injured many others.

Bewarang described the day as “very bad for us’’, but expressed gratitude to God for intervening, considering the magnitude of the blast.

“Considering the tight security, there was no way such a car could gain access to the church premises, but we must give thanks to God in all situations.

“God is the ultimate chief security officer and we are happy that he took control.’’

The COCIN president said the incident was “evil“ and “shocking’’, describing it as “the height of man’s inhumanity to man’’.

“What I know is that God will always protect his own no matter the circumstances.’’

On the level of destruction, the president said the impact on the building was massive.

“The church could have collapsed but for God’s mercy. We are happy that it is still standing.’’
