Oritsejafor condemns Kano suicide bomb attack

The President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, has condemned the suicide bomb attack launched on a luxury bus motor park in Kano, Kano State on Monday, which left 22 dead and over 65 injured.
Oritsejafor, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kenny Ashaka, commiserated with the victims of the attack.
He said: “The CAN president believes that the suicide bombing of a Lagos-bound 59-seater luxury bus which killed 25 people by those whose inhumanity and vicious behaviour terrifies Nigerians is utterly evil, tragic and condemnable.
“Inasmuch as his heart goes to the Muslim victims in this latest suicide attack in Sabon Gari, Kano, a ward predominantly occupied by indigenous and non-indigene Christians, he feels the attacks in Kano were not in the interest of national development.”
Oritsejafor urged the Federal Government to prosecute those who have been caught for planting explosives that have killed several Nigerians in the past.
He said without this, the war against terrorism will not be won.
He said: “The Federal Government cannot continue to condemn these heinous acts of the enemies of unity and agents of death without prosecuting those already arrested.
“The Federal Government should do the right thing by prosecuting those already in its net with proven record of complicity.
“I plead with the government to fish out the sponsors of Jama’atul Ahlis Sunnah Lidda’awati Wal, commonly called Boko Haram, and the Islamic group, Jama’atu Ansaril Muslimina fi Sudan, better known as Ansaru.”
