A bomb explosion suspected to be from a male suicide bomber has killed six persons including the bomber.
The blast occurred at a local branch of Redeemed Christian Church of God along Bauchi road in Potiskum Town, Yobe State.
A resident of the town who is also one of the officials working with the aid agencies informed us that the bomb went off at a time worshipers were observing the Sunday service.
“Six persons died and there are no reports of injuries yet” he said.
Efforts to speak with the police were unsuccessful as their phones were switched off.
Also, the spokesperson of the Joint Task Force in Yobe, Lazarus Eli, said he had travelled out of the state for an official assignment and is yet to be briefed on the matter.
