Vehicle driving into church premises at Jaji military barracks in Kaduna detonated bomb that also left dozens injured
At least five people were killed and dozens injured on Sunday when a car bomb exploded at a church inside the Jaji military barracks in Nigeria's northern Kaduna state, a military source said.
"I saw five bodies and scores injured," a military officer who witnessed the bombing told Reuters, asking not to be named.
"A car drove into the church premises … then detonated the bomb," one of the military officers told Reuters, asking not to be named.
The National Emergency Agency confirmed there had been an explosion inside the barracks and said it was "likely at a worship centre".
Kaduna state in northern Nigeria has been the target of several bomb attacks this year, including on churches. Some have been claimed by Islamist sect Boko Haram, a group which has killed hundreds in an insurgency this year.
