CHRISTIAN leaders in Zaria, Kaduna State said yesterday they had a premonition of the bomb attacks on their churches before it happened last Sunday.
They spoke just as Kaduna Governor Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa was overwhelmed by emotions when he visited the scene of the explosions at the Second ECWA and Christ the King Catholic Church, both in Zaria.
Secretary of the Second ECWA DCC which was affected by the multiple attacks, Rev. Chris Dariya, told the governor and his entourage that they actually got information that the Boko Haram Islamic sect was planning to attack churches.
According to him, they got the information few days before the attack that members of the sect were in Zaria and that they met last Friday to perfect the co-ordinated attcks, adding that the chairmen and secretaries of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) were invited for a meeting on the issue.
He noted that they were surprised when the following day, the military personnel drafted to maintain peace around the church were allegedly withdrawn.
