Two months after the Madalla, Suleja Christmas Day blasts that killed over 40 people, a bomb has exploded near the Christ Embassy church in Suleja town, Sunday. The explosion which occurred along Morocco road, is suspected to be by Nigeria's Boko Haram sect and has left at least two people seriously injured, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said.
Several other worshippers were also hurt in the blast in the suburb of Sulieja.
Five cars were also badly damaged in the attack when a parked car filled with explosives detonated outside the Christ Embassy Church.
Witness Ngozi Favour told dpa that 'the church service was still on-going when the car exploded, otherwise we would have suffered more casaulties.'
Sulieja is a volatile area known for previous attacks - including one during the 2011 presidential election at the Independent Electoral Office left scores dead.
