Eight Christian men were arrested yesterday attempting to detonate explosives at a church in Miya Barkatai village of Toro Local Government Area in Bauchi State, witnesses and Police said.
A government official in the area, who witnessed the incident, said the men came with explosive devices and tried to set them off in the COCIN Church but they were overpowered by locals who handed them to security men.
“They were arrested with sophisticated weapons and all of them are Christians living in the area even though they are from neighboring villages near Miya Barkatai,” he said.
The official said after the attackers were arrested, there was disagreement between residents and Christian worshippers when some people said the would-be bombers should be released.
But soldiers and police later took away the suspects to Bauchi for further investigations.
