A major disaster was averted at the Living Faith Church, Kaduna yesterday when the church security men foiled a Boko Haram attempt to plant a car with explosive in the premises, while the Sunday service was in progress.

Eyewitness said that at about 8:00am when the first service which started at 7 am was in session, a new Peugeot 406 ash colour beat the security checks at the entrance into the church premises and headed straight to the central location of the church, where some of the church security men accosted driver who was alone in the car.

The driver was ordered to relocate the vehicle to the parking lot tagged Shiloh park, but he insisted that he would not move from the position the vehicle was stationed. This created suspicion from the security men who insisted he must be searched. The eyewitness said: “at this point, the security men then accused the driver not to have subjected himself and the car for screening at the main gate and ordered the man to open the car boot.”

“While the church security men were trying to open his car booth, the driver zoomed off in full speed and forced the car out of the main gate, broke the bar iron to the gate. Those around the entrance threw stones at the car which broke the rear windscreen, but the driver escaped. He was however given chase with another car.” Meanwhile, officials of the church declined comment on the issue, as they claimed that the matter has been reported to the police and authorities in the state.

However, the Kaduna Police Command Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mallam Aminu Lawan who confirmed the incident, said that “there was a report of an incident of a man who came to Living Faith Church with a Peugeot 406 car and did not subject himself for search initially, and while they were trying to search him, he forced himself outside the premises.” Lawan argued: “as he was running away, he broke the gate to the main gate to the church. You can go there; you will see the gate broken.

And they said as the man was trying to escape, he was given a chase, and suddenly another vehicle came from nowhere and crossed those who were chasing the suspect and allow him to escape.” “We have apprehended the man who aided the suspect to escape; he is now in our custody. The police have commenced investigation and we are on the trail of the suspect,” he stated.
