Description

The police have paraded a Benin-based pastor, who gave his name as Abel Eku, for alleged attempting to bomb the headquarters of a church, the Christ Chosen Church of God.

He was said to have planted explosives inside the auditorium of the church headquarters on January 22, when the church was to hold an international conference.

It was gathered that the explosives were detected by some members of the church who invited the police to detonate the explosives.

Speaking to journalists at the police headquarters, Pastor Abel said he planted the bomb as a result of his dismissal from the church over marital issues after serving it for 22 years.
