Interesting Gist: Suicide bomber dies in attempt on church

There was a failed New Year Day suicide bombing attempt in Gombe, the Gombe State capital, yesterday.

It came less than 12 hours after two suspected bombers were killed by their bombs in an attempt on the Army Barracks in the town Wednesday night.

Yesterday’s attempt was at the ECWA Church III behind Gombe State University.

The bomber was killed by his bomb before he could cause the havoc.

The Boys Brigade members guarding the church saved what would have been a disastrous New Year celebration.

 According to one of the members, the suicide bomber arrived on a motorcycle and tried to break the barricade.

 He said the bomber was asked to alight to be checked but he declined.

 The Boko Haram suspect then tried to meander through the barricade but the explosive he had on blew up and killed him instantly.
