The Christian Association of Nigeria CAN has condemned the
bomb attack that took place yesterday at the Central Mosque
in Kano where over 100 persons have been confirmed dead.
In a statement released and signed by CAN President, Pastor
Ayo Oritsejafor, the association said the attack on the place
of worship is the greatest evil to human beings and to God
almighty. Read the statement after the cut...
The statement in part reads
"The entire Christian community in Nigeria received the
news of the latest in the series of bomb explosions, this
time around at the mosque near the Emir’s palace in
Kano, with shock and disbelief. This is most unfortunate
given the number of people that lost their lives in their
bid to offer prayers to their Almighty in the usual Friday
worship at the mosque. On behalf of the entire
Christians community under the auspices of CAN, I wish
to commiserate with the families of the victims
especially those who lost their lives in the attack. This
attack on the people of Kano is an attack on all
Nigerians and must be addressed as such; this is the
time for all to rise up and act,. May God help us all as
we make this strong efforts at curbing terrorism from
our land.”
