It seems, a bomb has been
discovered at a branch of the Living Faith Church (aka Winners Chapel), at
Owerri, Imo State, which is located along the Owerri-PortHarcourt road.
The Police
Public Relations Officer (PPRO), for the Imo state Command, DSP Andrew Enwerem,
has confirmed the planting of a bomb at the church, but said it was the police
who detonated it, that it didn’t go off on its own. He states,
“The police deliberately
detonated an object that was suspected to be an Improvised Explosive Device at
Winners Chapel.
“The discovery was made last night
by security men at the Winners church who were very alert. When they saw (an
abandoned) hand bag around the church’s gate they quickly alerted the police
“The police bomb experts quickly
moved in and discovered the explosive and deliberately detonated it before it
could cause any harm.
“We’ve gone on air to alert other
churches and other densely populated areas to be on the look out for such
suspected objects and quickly alert the police.”
The PPRO added that
investigation has commenced into the incident, although no arrest had been made
as at the time.
