Three bomb explosions rock 3 churches in Kaduna and zaria

Bombs have exploded in three churches in the volatile Nigeria's North western Kaduna state, two of them in Zaria and one in the city of Kaduna.

Emergency services and residents said they feared many people had been killed.

The state-run National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said the blasts happened in the Wusasa and Sabon-Gari districts of Zaria, previously targeted by the Islamist group Boko Haram.

"NEMA has confirmed two explosions at Wusasa and Sabon-Gari in Zaria, Kaduna state. Rescue and security officers have moved to the scene," spokesman Yushau Shuaib said in a statement.

Residents said many people, mostly worshippers, were feared dead in the attacks on the Christ the King Catholic Cathedral and ECWA GoodNews Church.

The third explosion was recorded in Kaduna. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Witnesses said it was a suicide bomb attack on Shalom Royal International Church in the Trikania area as worshipers held service.

Witnesses in the city reported heavy smoke billowing from the scene of the blast.

Casualty figure is yet to be confirmed but a worshipper at the church said he saw three bodies after the attack.
Two weeks ago, churches were also bombed in Biu, Borno state and Jos in Plateau, with over ten deaths recorded.
