60 die in Nigeria Easter tragedies

A suicide car bomber detonated his explosives on a busy road yesterday morning after apparently turning away from attacking Nigerian churches holding Easter services, killing at least 38 people in a massive blast that rattled Kaduna.

In a separate incident, 22 people were killed and 31 injured in central Nigeria’s Benue state when their church caved in on them during an Easter vigil.

The blast that struck the city of Kaduna left charred motorcycles and debris strewn across a major road.
