A suicide bomber on Sunday blew himself up inside a church in the restive northeastern city of Potiskum, killing five worshippers, a police officer and witness told AFP.
The bomber entered the uncompleted Redeemed Christian Church of God at 9:55 am in the Jigawa area on the outskirts of the city in Yobe State and detonated his explosives, killing the worshippers, including a woman and her two children as well as the pastor, they said.
"Four worshippers died instantly while the fifth victim gave up shortly after she was taken to hospital," a police officer involved in the evacuation told AFP.
