But for the vigilance of security men stationed at the Living Faith
Church in Barnawa, Kaduna, an unidentified man would have caused havoc
at the popular Living Faith Church in Barnawa, Kaduna with about 30,000
worshippers attending Sunday service.
The suspected bomber was said to have rigged a car with explosives
on the premises of the church and had earlier, passed the security
checks into the church before anther team of security officials spotted
him.
According to an eye-witness, at about 8.00 a.m., when the first
service which started at 7.00 a.m. was in session, a brand new Peugeot
406 beat the security checks before the church’s entrance entered
premises and went straight to the central location of the church, when
some of the church securitymen accosted the driver who was alone in the
car.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Kaduna State police
command, DSP Aminu Lawan, confirmed the incident, saying “there was a
report of an incident of a man who came to Living Faith Church with a
Peugeot 406 car and did not subject himself for search initially, and
while they were trying to search him, forced his way out of the
premises.”
Church officials, however, declined to make comments on the matter
but an eyewitness told newsmen that the driver was ordered to relocate
the vehicle to the parking lot tagged “Shiloh park,” but he insisted
that he would not move from the position the vehicle was stationed.
“At that point, the securitymen accused the driver of not subjecting
his car to checks and screening at the main gate and ordered the man to
open his boot.
“While the security-men were trying to open his car booth, the driver
zoomed off in full speed and forced the car out of the main gate,
breaking the iron of the gate. Those around the entrance threw stones at
the car, breaking its rear windscreen, but the driver escaped. He was,
however, given hot chase with another car.”
The police were able to arrest the person that blocked the securitymen who chased the alleged bomber.
According to the PPRO, “as he was running away, he broke the main
gate to the church. If you go there, you will see the gate broken. And
they said as the man was trying to escape, he was given a hot chase, and
suddenly another vehicle came from nowhere and crossed those who were
chasing the suspect and allowed him to escape.
“We have apprehended the man who allowed the suspect to escape. He is
now in our custody. The police have commenced investigation and we are
on the trail of the suspect.”
