How Security Guard Averted High Casuality From The ECWA Church Bomb Blast

What would have been a high casualty from a bomb planted at an ECWA church in Jos, Plateau State Today, Was averted by security guard.

There had been fears that the casualty will be high. The noise from the “massive” explosion was very loud and there were lots of worshipers at the church for the Sunday service. Thankfully, new details of how a security guard saved the day have emerged.

According to PremiumTimes, a private security guard spotted the bomb at the entrance. He picked the bomb and threw it off the church before it exploded instantly.

No one was killed from the explosion, although the guard sustained injuries on the leg and is
currently being treated, a worshiper said.

Another witness said the police anti-bomb squad, on arrival, discovered another explosive device that
was planted at the restroom of the church.

The ECWA church in Tudunwa is located near the Federal Secretariat in Jos, Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.

Meanwhile, the police have also said no one was killed from the explosion. The police spokesperson in Plateau, Abuh Emmanuel, told PREMIUM TIMES that anti-bomb experts have been deployed to the scene.

“Experts have been sent there immediately to ascertain those who planted the explosion, and possibly, the manufacturers of the device. But I was told no one died in the incident,” he said.

The Sunday explosion occurred one week after a similar explosion at a Redeemed Church in Yobe State claimed many lives
