•4 burnt to death in bus attack
From PAUL ORUDE, Bauchi
There was a twin bomb explosion in Gudun Hausawa and Zango area in Bauchi Metropolis, Bauchi State on Wednesday night just as four people were burnt to daeth in a bloody bus attack in Gwatukuru near Dass.
One of the explosions destroyed the pulpit of the COCIN Church in Zango and a building near the church while the second explosion destroyed a fence in Gudum Sayawa.
There were no casualties in both explosions.
Last month, nine elderly citizens were shot dead in Zango area.
A week later, three were killed when a suicide bomber attempted to bomb St. John Catholic Church, Bauchi.
Daily Sun learnt that the bomb planted in the pulpit of the COCIN Church in Zango exploded at about 9pm on Tuesday night, almost at the same time with the one that exploded in Gudum Hausawa.
The man whose house is adjacent to the church in Zango was affected.
He said he saw two men on motorcycle who came to the church that night but thought they were members of the church on patrol.
“The explosion occurred few minutes after they left, taking the two security men in the church by surprise,” the man who pleaded anonymity told Daily Sun.
No life was lost in the two explosions but the Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Reverend Lawi Pokti, said the development had caused fear and panic among residents, particularly Christians in the state.
Pokti called on Christians to remain calm and watch what they say and not imitate “this increasing evil and wickedness.”
He also appealed to security operatives to be proactive in handling the current insecurity in the state.
Meanwhile, some people suspected to be Fulani herdsmen have attacked a bus, killing four people yesterday in Gwatukuru village near Dass Local Government Area in Bauchi State.
Nine people were seriously injured after the bus, with registration number AA 82 TFB, belonging to the Seyawa Council of Elders and Traditional Rulers, was set ablaze.
Mr Bukata Zyadi, the Secretary of the Sayawa Concil of Elders, said the victims were burnt to ashes while the injured had been taken to various hospitals in Plateau State and some to Dass.
Zyadi said four of the injured were rushed to Jos, five undergoing surgery in Dass General Hospital, seven in the emergency unit while two were safe.
Zyadi said the attack was carried out by the “Hausa Fulani people.”
He accused the administration of Governor Isa Yuguda of supporting the killings of the Sayawa people by the Fulani Herdsmen because “they are his Fulani people.”
He said peace would continue to elude the area because the state government had clearly shown bias as “security has completely broken down even the presence of the JTF in the area has not stopped the killings.”
But Amin Tukur, a spokesman of the Fulani in the area, condemned the recent killing, saying that as a responsible citizen, whosoever carried out the killings stood to be condemned.
Speaking with Daily Sun on telephone, Tukur said: “It is condemnable by my person and the people I represent. It is unfortunate. What we want is peace. The government must live up to its responsibility of safeguarding lives and property of the people.
“The bottom line is: are we really ready to live with one another? Do we believe that we are a plural society? I have never in my life subscribed to tribal sentiments and we condemn these killings.
“The issues is that even if we bring all the security agencies of this country to the area and the people are not ready to talk, dialogue, then it will be impossible to have peace in Tafawa Balewa because the security people are not God. The people need to dialogue.”
Efforts by our correspondent to get the Police Commissioner, Mohammed Ladan, to comment on the two incidents failed.
The commissioner, who answered the first call, said he was in a meeting and asked the reporter to call later.
He was sent a text message followed by repeated calls, which were ignored by the police boss.
Hmm……na waoh
may God help ndi jos.
When will this spate of bombings in the country stop?Everyday bombing!!!They want to turn Nigeria to Afghanistan…
Oh my God, does it mean that we the christian should not go church anymore?this incesant state of bombings targeting church is turning to another thing else,why is wickednes the other of the day in this country?God we need your urgent intervention.
fulani people are daily exposing evil selves too much. Soon nigeria people wil sack them pursue them to their home in sudan,which is natural home nt leaving here causing problem
Its quite unfortunate that people lives doesnt matter 2 d northerners..we all have 2 ask 4 God intervention
The best solution to this rubbish is Kaduna approach, tit for tat. Bcos, these Hausa-Fulani will never stop their wicked activities even with the prsence of security, they will always buy them most especially soldiers but, thanks to mopols who have always opposed to soldiers activities. A good case study is jos. Once more agree with me or not Kaduna approach is the solution to this madness cos nobody has monopoly of stupidity.
thank u my brother, let christhains attack any hausa fulani at sight in a moment of attack against them and this is only way cos we all know that yaguda is among the top sponsors of boko horam and they nothing to do other than to attack back; the CP liman have to dismissed fortwith;
cows called north
Hahahahahaha,so happy about the killing by da fulani’s,but not too happy that only few were killed,let the killing continue untill the blood of the innocent igbos killed during the biafran war is avenged.
look chidi or what is your name, do you mean that your parents did not tell you that the reason of the killing of the biafias was cause by same biafias? greed, selfcenteredness, power, power and always power, that is what you igbos always believe in, and it has not help you igbos, the problem in the north is just recent, igbos has being the major problem of that country (NIGERIA) both inside nigeria and Abroad, how i wish that part of that region was not included on that nigeria map, well i reserve my comment.
sme of you thing those cows reason the way you do, listing aboki is always aboki that is why nigeria is the way it is today , tell me when people like those animals are the rulers of any country how can they bring any thing good? one thing i know is that i will never vote 4 any one 4rm north again

The best tin is to divid this country simple and short that is jst the best.
BOKO boys more power to your elbow.The evil that men do lives with them,what future awaits our children after making your land desolate.
Good comments above, but hope you all can recall that members of concin church were still in police custody for bombing their church in the same bauchi state. please Nigerians, we know your plans for the North but, mind you, God is watching. keep on your blasphemous attitude.
Biko kwa, wetin the Igbos wey dey ugwu awusa still dey do der? See o, make una murukwa anya, any Igbo wey do strong head dey der reach 2015 no go everli make am, Nna maka chukwu, dem go slice dat pesin lik suya, even Yoruba n south-south take note
Let them do it now, but I know that one day the blood of the tyrants will be used to plant the tree of peace in this country.
If this country disintegrate now what is going to happen to Christian indigines of bauri, borno, adamawa, jos and others? May God protect His children
God, save our Christian brothers in the north

Carl. U r funny. I wil also forgo goin to heaven 2. I love ur coment . Afta the wil say dat dey r peace.
It always very painful nd bitter each time I hear people saying we are one nigeria,when ll the tears of innocent christians stop flowing down the faces of their love ones?when ll the isssues of killing,wasting,nd massacrering of the holy whorsppers stop?when ll the cases of bomb blasts,killings,nd attachs stop leading the headlines of our national dailys?are we truly a one nation or we are heading for a separate direction?this are the questions that should agitate the minds of every meaning nigerians.should we keep on waiting for our dear leaders who had fail us with their fail promises?or should we take the law into our hands nd fight with the last drop of our blood?which way nigeria?our fight for surviver must start now.
@ chidi you sound very ignorant………pls go back to school and learn most of these people being killed in the North are Ibos
nigeria as the name imply is a blessed land but setiment has almost crippled that country, what do will do? the answer is so clear, nigerians please, i repeat again please let lean from the former USSR, i think that will solve the problem of that country, a word is enough for the wise.
Dese blood sucking vampires called fulanis ‘re doom 4eva!
THE SOLUTION IS SEPARATION. THIS IS B/C YOU CANNOT CONTINUE TO LIVE WITH THOSE HAUSA-FULANI BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS. WE HAVE CHOICE TO SEPARATE PEACEFULLY OR VIOLENTLY IF WE REFUSE TO SEE THE HAND WRITTEN ON THE WALL.
it is quite unfortunate that most of my fellow southern brothers and sisters could not distinguish between a northern muslim and a christian, they classfy all as aboki literally meaning a muslim. My people, i want you to understand that christians made more than 40 percent of northan population, so whenever we are making any ultrances or plannes against the idiots or cows in the north lets always remainber our christian brothers and sisters over there and differ them from the muslim cows. Untill some other time. I love you all. Imolites remain blessed.
One Nigeria is bcos of Oil nothing Else..and north has benefited from that Oil more than enough..My advice Is that they should get ready for nigeria breakage bcos we re not One People both Religion and culture and cannot cohabit with murderes….Oil is everywhere in South South and presently South East..waiting until the last drop is drill is prolonging the Doom Day for the future northners..Everything that has a begining has an end.
It pains so much to know that there are northern christians in the north, who are the primary targets of these evil boko terrorist,they do not want the christians so they are trying to make sure that they do not see the light of the day.Please, the northern christians are also our brothers so whatever we are doing or saying about the north, we should put them in mind.You can see for yourselves the last presidential elections the northern christians all voted for our current president.If the northern muslims reject our brothers in the north do we also like wise reject them? cos they have made up there minds not to support there own northerners anymore.
It is a pity we know nothing about Islam. All the fightings up North have nothing to do with Islam. Territory, local power control, local resources and lack of respect are part of the problems.
Islam is a religion that hates oppression, transgression, disrespect, corruption and all the vices that are destroying our country, Nigeria.
We should first seek for knowledge about it (Islam) and not judge Islam because harm is being done by some people. It is not a reasoning of by their fruit you shall know them. Lack of knowledge is the problem of majority of us.
it is plan of the northerner Muslim to waste the life of innocents northerner Christan, so that they won’t be any christan in the north but God has already exposed them , their plans will not work
IJN
May God reveal those dat have hand in dis crime
Bombing again…..Question1 dosen’t mean dt so called Bokoharam,Fulani or whteva is stronger dan all d securities we hv in dz country?Whn will all dz nonses is goin 2stop?FG hv 2do smthin B4 dz country dtz blessed turne 2iraq,pls my fellow christan it hv reached dtime 2 leave d northern states 4 musulerm,

i like what is happening in the north,let it continue until north is turn to sodom and gommorah.pls hausa/fulani-boko haram dont stop,more grease to ur elbow.Any igbo still residing in the north by now should know that he/she is on a suicide mission,i will advise them to come back.NORTH IS NOT SAFE.the hand writing is clearly on the wall.”onye mara isu,ya suo n’ikwe”
National call! All the Igbos in the north, please make haste while the sun shine. You all should return home before it is too late. Incessant bombings in the north is obvious indication that Nigeria is coming to disintegrate on or before 2015 as it was predicted by an American man who visited Nigeria about years back. Bombing and killings in the North will NEVER STOP, it will even become worst if Jonathan Goodluck should win another election come 2014. The Northerners are not happy for the change in the power. They thought that forever Nigeria and its leadership is their constitutional right. Nobody else except them. Take it or leave it, Nigeria is NOT one. We are pretending to be, because of the oil well in the South-south and south east and south west. If the oils in these zones are in the north, Nigeria would have been long ago disintegrated. Islamic insurgence in the north is orchestrated, sponsored, and encouraged by the elites in the north just to disorganize government of the day. Return back home to your various States and leave the north for the northerners to kill and maim themselves.
come to where; we wish to be home robbers and kidnapers every were what can we do, we are in serious trouble, pls help,
Umu igbo gadi!!…ka chineke mezie okwu!
One thing is sure, no hell can stop Christians from worshiping their God. Jesus must be exalted no matter any amount of bombing.
thenaferious activities of the hausa fulani people in that regards should condemned in very clear terms by everyone who sets anything by the civilised values,and govt should do all within its power to stop it now,but is sheer made madness calling for dialogue,do you dialogue with faceless scoundrels eh,No let them come out openly lets know them,anywhere they go in their characteristic nomandic ways of life,they leave killings,destructions,lootings in their trails Haba,
if the treate with lion cloud not stop Daniel from worshiping his God,no bomb wil stop christains from worshiping our maker,if boko people like let d hole north b bombed
let there be more bombs in the north…boko haram bombs naija government counts so what do you want again?were a hell of naija military can not wipe these idiots out of this country but there were able to commit genocide in igbo land….this is just the genesis of you problems to come..
It is really pitiable, that the Bauchi State I thought I knew so well has degenerated to a merciless slaughter house!!! The Bauchi in which I had very good Hausa friends even including “Brazers!” Those with the view that Aboki is Aboki are speaking in sheer ignorance. There are alot of Very Very Good Hausas, irrespective of whether they be Christians or Moslems! My heart bleeds for the Tafawa Balewa and Dass people cause they are mostly christians and a very insignificant minority; but they should please hang onto thier faith and to know for sure that God is still on His Throne and is seeing all that is happening – It is well !!!
Jesus is the Prince of Peace the Islam rejected, how then can they find peace when they ‘ve rejected the Prince of Peace. My advice to non Muslims is that they take caution and retreat from the north, until they acknowledge the giver of perfect peace.
Some people are disapointed by their god, & therefore being frostrated, angry & hopeless they want to die. As fools & Idiots they want others to die with them, that is what is happening in northern Nigeria. Non Housas, non Fulanis leave their cursed area
Their name is Fulani. They are living the life that depicts their name. You can’t change their behavior. That is Fulani for you. They move around with daga

We are already fade up with lots of conmdeming negetive actions by numerous traditional leaders. They stand a very good chance of fetching out every suspect since they are at the grassroot of every government.
God help Nigeria. After GEJ WILL THERE STILL BE NIGERIA?
WHAT ARE ALL OUR RELIGIONS LEADERS WAITING FOR? LET ALL CHURCHES IN NIGERIA DECLARE SEVEN DAYS FASTING AND PRAYER, I MEAN ALL CHRISTIANS. YOU WILL SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
