The spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency, Yushau Shuaib, who confirmed the development in an SMS to PUNCH, said the dead and injured had been taken to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi.
Some accounts said a number of people died when the bomber hit the gate of the church around 9a.m.

The spokesman for the state police command, Hassan Auyo, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the casualty figure was being compiled.
Bauchi has been hit by a number of bomb attacks and murders linked to the Boko Haram sect in the last few months.

One of the suspects, Eloka, said they killed Cynthia because they thought she had a lot of money in her possession. But after the dastardly act, they did not find a reasonable amount of money on her.

According to the suspects, “we met her on the facebook on our Blackberry. We invited her to come to Lagos to buy goods at cheap prices.

“When she got to Lagos, we took her to a hotel in Festac. We thought she had a lot of money, but she said she didn’t have any money. We gave her Reflon tablet in her Ribena drink. After this, we slept with her for 12 hours in that hotel. We discovered that the tablet did not work quickly on her.

He said: “This is one of the largest seizures recorded at the Lagos airport in recent time. It was a clever mode of concealment, but I am glad we were able to detect it and the suspect apprehended.
The case is under investigation.” On the development, NDLEA Chairman, Mr. Ahmadu Giade, said: “This is a spectacular seizure because the drug was carefully concealed in a way that makes detection difficult.

The significance is that a warning signal has been sent to the enemy camp that one of their best tricks is not good enough. This has been my position and order to the officers that drugs should be intercepted regardless of the mode of concealment.”

The NDLEA boss however stressed that the suspect would soon be charged to court. Narrating hir ordeals, the suspect, Mr. Izunna who hails from Anambra State noted that he was asked to deliver the drug to somebody in India for a fee. According to the suspect who is married with 2 children, “I am a trader. I sell phone accessories at Ikeja to take care of my wife and two children. It was a friend that gave me the metal pipes that I should take them to India for a fee. I did not know when, how and where it was packed. I was only given the bag containing the pipes”

“Unfortunately, when I got to the airport during screening, NDLEA officers discovered the drug and I was arrested. This is my first time of smuggling drugs. I hope my wife will understand and forgive me” Afunaya pleaded.
