Abuja Blast: Car Bomb Attack Rocks Nigerian Capital
A car bomb attack has killed at least 19 people and injured 60 more in the Nigerian capital Abuja, officials say.
The explosion happened in the suburb of Nyanya, close to a motor park where at least 70 people died in a bomb blast on 14 April.
Witnesses said the explosion targeted a police checkpoint near a bus station.
No group has claimed responsibility for Thursday’s attack. The Islamist militant group Boko Haram said it was behind the fatal explosion last month.
The BBC’s Will Ross in Abuja says Nyanya is a religiously mixed area and it is not clear why the area has been targeted.

The most demonic people around are the pastors and church leaders entrusted with the job of uplifting their congregation spiritually. what will you do if you find out that your pastor is one of the most advanced satanic agent around?

All this violence in the name of religion? Religion has caused conflict even in my diverse and tolerant family.., In the end the real roots of violence are the lust for power, land and money, religion is a tool for motivating the cannon fodder, and providing an excuse for the onlookers.

Prophecies, signs and wonders and all manner of divine intervention are the expectations of modern church goers who seek anointed pastors to fulfill such demands. The level of deceit, fraud and falsehood to bring continuous supply to these enormous demands is not just incredible but totally unbelievable. Fraudsters and criminals in operation as religious leaders.

Though what chance do ‘ordinary’ people have when the book of fiction known as the “holy book” is employed to justify murderous intent?
