Bomb outside Nigerian capital kills three: Red Cross
bomb blast at a church in Suleja, a satellite town on the outskirts of Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, killed three people and seriously wounded seven on Sunday, the Red Cross said.
“Three dead, seven critically injured (after) bomb explosion at Suleja, Niger State,” a Red Cross spokesman said. The police and emergency agencies said there had been an explosion but would not confirm any deaths or give details on the cause.
Witnesses said a church had been damaged in the blast and at least two dead bodies had been taken to the local hospital.
Suleja was the target of a deadly bomb attack at its electoral office on the eve of April’s parliamentary election.
