The police say they believe the explosives were planted on Saturday night and timed to explode after worshippers had gathered for worship today. Thankfully it was discovered on time. Details later
Update: Deputy Superintendent of Police Enwerem, explains more about the incident this morning.
"During their check, it was discovered that Improvised Explosive Devices in forms of refrigerator compressor concealed in sack bags were discovered. One was promptly detonated at the scene because it was on a timer. The other one was dis-alarmed and then taken away for detonation.”
The police spokesperson said those arrested have not been directly linked to planting the deadly explosives.
“They were arrested because we believe we might be able to obtain information that could lead to the arrest of the perpetrators from them,” Mr. Enwerem said. “Investigations are ongoing.”
The state police commissioner, Mr. Ali had while briefing journalists at the church premises said the command would do everything possible to unravel the perpetrators of the act.

Linda, I'm one of your reader from owerri, it was at the early hours of today when i have dressed for church, approaching to the church, their was a blow, but not really like a bomb blow, that is when the near by police station that was assigned to the Living Faith Church (AKA WINNER'S CHAPLE)deployed their fully armed Police to the Church Vicinity, then the Military Division (34 Atlary Brigade Obirinze)was alerted and they also deployed their Military Men. The Church didn't conduct the 1st Service in the Church,we conducted in IMO STATE NEW STADIUM KNOWN AS (HERO SQUARE STADIUM and the 2nd Service is going on right as I'm posting.

For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons. For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds. God is faithful
No one should try onyedekpo,winners are no go AREA
Boko Haram?? Has it now escalated to the east? Hmmmmm!! Thanks to God for averting such wicked act.. Those suspects should be interrogated and totured until they speak on their sponsor of such an evil act...
Jehovah has the final say!!!! Their plans will always amount to nothing!! so these BH don enter east????

This is serious ...today would 've mark the end of insurgents in Nigeria if such evil happened cus is a real embarrasement to ve extended their stupidity 1st to south east ...ANIMALS .
What is it with this APC people, sacrificing the lives of the common man in order to gain power. We never heard of anything like bomb in the south, but now Alhaji Rochas Turncoat Okorocha has joined APC; the janjaweed party, they are now attempting to bomb churches. May God save us from enemies within.
Hmmmmm! Nawa oooooo! So d don enter o town b dt? GOD v mercy, protect my family O LORD.

Thank u Jesus! Wat a mighty God we serve!
Hmmmmm, dis is serious ooo. Am in owerri and datz my church..we were relocated to anoda venue - Heroes Square for the sunday service.
This has been my fears for long, dat wen ibo man starts bombing, it will be a catastrophy, imagine the evil men planting the bomb and timed it to esplode by 8.30am, which is d peak of 1st servicee. Two of the bombs planted by the gate and the 3rd one inside the church. If not for God, the casualty culd ve been smtin else. We give all Glory to the Almighty God.
Back to my fears, a jobless ibo guy can collect cash and drop d bomb to explode, but count him out to be a suicide bomber...Am still on my knees praying to God, dat dis bombing biz never be the affairs of my beloved brodas....
Thanks to God for His Mercies 2day.
Other states should wake up and put serious security checks in place. Boko haram are daring d south,east,and West. Make we no give dem chance o. Useless dirty pple.

If Boko Haram go bomb east, Owerri fit be the first place...a lot of Niger Rep kids with parents begging on the streets, and the immigration and the state govt has been doing nothing about it, now how can they protect their citizens when a lot of illegal immigrants are there constituting nuisance on their streets?
