Please pray for Nigeria, Christmas day bomb explosions

Two bombs exploded during Christmas church service at a Catholic church in Madalla, Suleja, Niger state. Several church goers had died and many were severely injured.

Christmas day worshippers at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church, Madalla near Abuja in Niger State were caught up in a blast that has killed more than 39 people.

Citizen reporters for Saharareporters.com have counted 39 bodies so far and 10 vehicles destroyed entirely in the attacks, one of the vehicles was carrying a family leaving the church after church service, the entire family died in the car.

Eyewitnesses said a massive bomb was driven by a suicide bomber in a BMW car and a second car rigged with explosives was parked at the premises of the church. Both exploded minutes apart. The first explosion happened around 8: 30 AM as church members left the church premises after the Christmas day mass.

Boko hama claims responsibility.

Almighty God! defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!
