“Three confirmed dead,” said Shuaib, adding that several others were
in a critical condition and had been removed to hospital.
“We removed only three corpses and a number of injured victims had been
evacuated,” he said.
Emergency workers feared the death toll would have been higher had the bomber
managed to get the vehicle closer to his target. “The bomb exploded
before he could get to the church,” said Shuaib.
Mark Lipdo, who runs a Jos-based Christian Stefanos Foundation, told AFP said
at least eight people had been killed, including three people who were shot
by soldiers after the explosion.
He said the soldiers had opened fire to disperse a crowd of onlookers who
gathered outside the church.
“They shot at people who gathered at the scene, killing three instantly,”
he said.
Lipdo said three women, one of whom was pregnant, were among the dead.
“It was a horrible sight. The bodies of the victims were mutilated but
five of them have been identified by their relations,” he said.
His claims could not immediately be verified.
The worst recent attack on a Catholic church came on December 25 last, when 44
people were killed during a mass to celebrate Christmas in a town outside
the capital Abuja.
Jos lies in the so-called middle belt region dividing the mainly Muslim north
and predominantly Christian south, and hundreds of people have been killed
in clashes between Muslim and Christian ethnic groups in recent years.
Violence blamed on Boko Haram, whose goals remain largely unclear, has since
2009 claimed more than 1,000 lives, including more than 300 this year,
according to figures tallied by AFP and rights groups.
