8 Christian men (pictured above after their arrest) were arrested on Sunday by men of the Nigerian Police for attempting to detonate explosives at a church in Miya Barkatai village of Toro Local Government Area in Bauchi State.
Witnesses said the men, all Christians who live around the area, came with sophisticated weapons, explosive devices and tried to set them off in the COCIN Church but were overpowered by locals who handed them to soldiers, who took the suspects to Bauchi for further investigations.
