The blast struck Kaduna, the capital of Kaduna state, leaving charred motorcycles and debris strewn across a major road in the city where many gather to eat at informal restaurants and buy black market gasoline. Nearby hotels and homes had their windows blown out and roofs torn away by the force of the powerful
explosion, which engulfed a group of motorcycle taxi-men. The explosion damaged the nearby All Nations
Christian Assemblies International Church and the ECWA Good News Church as churchgoers worshiped at an
Easter service, the explosive-laden car attempted to go into the compound of the churches before it detonated, but was blocked by
barriers in the street and was turned away by a
security guard as
police approached. ==Responsibility==
