A huge car bomb has exploded at a military church inside the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji, Kaduna State.
“A car drove into the church premises … then detonated the bomb,” one of the military officers told Reuters, asking not to be named.
Spokesman for the National Emergency Agency, Yushau Shuaib, confirmed there had been an explosion inside the barracks.
Sunday’s blast is said to have claimed many lives although details are sketchy.
Soldiers have reportedly cordoned off the scene of the blast
Although no group has claimed responsibility for the blast, it comes two days after the Joint Task Force on Operation Restore Order in Borno State declared the leader of the Boko Haram sect, Ibrahim Shekau, and 19 other top guns of the group wanted
Last February, there was a blast at the gate of the One Mechanised Division in Kaduna, which killed the suicide bomber and some others.
Kaduna State has been the target of several bomb attacks this year, including on churches.
