The bombing of a church in northern Nigeria on Sunday, has sparked reprisal attacks by angry Christian youths.
Eight people were killed, and over 100 people wounded, when a car packed with explosives was driven into St Rita's church in the Malali area of Kaduna.
Following the attack, Christian youths armed with sticks and knives took to the streets. Reuters reported pools of blood and two dead bodies at the scene, with one youth shouting, "We killed them, and we'll do more".
The police spokesperson, Aminu Lawai, later said the violence had settled. Speaking to the press, he said, "all the areas prone to reprisal attacks are under control and getting back to normal,"
Whilst no one has claimed responsibility for the church bombing, Boko Haram are believed to be responsible.
