The Christian Association of Nigeria has
condemned the bomb attack which took
place on Thursday evening at Nyanya in
Abuja describing it as a ploy to demoralize
Nigerian workers.
The latest attack took place after the
celebration of this year’s Workers Day.
A statement by the General Secretary of
CAN, Dr. Musa Asake, said “the second
attack is not only devastating but suggests a
sad day for our nation”.
According to him, the attack came barely 15
days after the bomb explosion at the Nyanya
motor park.
Asake said, “It is an act that must be
condemned by all, no sane person will seek
to destroy the lives of fellow compatriots in
the name of an ‘ungodly ideology’ of a so-
called ‘religious belief.’
“We have always reiterated that terrorists or
their sponsors must not be given the
opportunity to prevail and CAN hereby uses
the opportunity to categorically say that evil
cannot overwhelm good while darkness
cannot prevail over light. This is a known fact
that I want all Nigerians to take to heart in
these trying times”.
According to him, the recent attack in
Nyanya, the second in 15 days, is a clear
indication of the terrorists motive which is to
demoralise and “destabilise the Nigerian
workforce” by putting fear in their minds.
CAN also commiserated with the families of
those
who lost their lives and prayed for
speedy recovery for those injured, in the
attack.
“This calls for more vigilance and caution by
all citizens, let us not allow these acts of
inhumanity to dampen our spirit of
patriotism for our country, let us all rise
against this monster. I once again call on
those in charge of security to work harder to
contain the situation while I call on relief
organizations to see to the welfare of the
victims.
“CAN on its part will commit the country in
the hands of God through prayers, to ensure
that the situation is put under control, ours
is to take this petition to God, we cannot
carry guns and bombs to fight this battle but
through prayers we shall win this battle”,
Asake said.
