targeting people they suspected to be Muslims.
A French news agency reporter said he saw mobs targeting people who
they believed to be Muslims in the neighbourhood of the church.
The neighbourhood shook as the bomb blast has brought up fears of a
fresh outbreak of reprisal attacks and clashes between Christians and
Muslims.
Residents fear clashes breaking out after the blast that shook the
area, between Christians and Muslims, as some say there were reported
clashes already.
Attack by Boko Haram in northern and central Nigeria has led to more
than 2,800 deaths since 2009. President Goodluck Jonathan has said the
group is seeking to incite a religious crisis in Nigeria.
Nigerians are frustrated with increasing insecurity in the country as
insurgency attacks have been happening too often. Worse still,
security forces' inability to stop Boko Haram attacks has increased
fears that the violence may continue.
