Four worshipers died instantly while the fifth victim gave up shortly after she was taken to hospital,” a police officer involved in the evacuation told AFP.
The victims included a woman and her two children, the pastor and another worshiper,” added the officer who spoke on condition of anonymity. Witness Garba Manu told AFP the bomber arrived at the church on a motorized rickshaw disguised as a worshiper and detonated his explosives as soon as he entered the church.
I saw when the bomber alighting from a motorized rickshaw and entering the church and as soon as he entered a loud explosion ripped through the church which is under construction,” he said. I saw him walked into the church and he didn’t raise any suspicion. Five worshipers, including three females and two males were in the church when the bomber entered and they were all killed,” he added. The dismembered body of the bomber was also recovered,” said Manu, who lives in the area.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility but Potiskum, the commercial capital of Yobe state, has been hit repeatedly by Boko Haram Islamists in their six-year insurgency, including by suicide bombers.
The insurgents have also launched a series of attacks on mosques, villages and markets in neighboring Borno state in the past few days, claiming more than 200 lives.
