National President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, has added his voice to the widespread condemnation trailing yesterday’s bomb blasts in Nyanya bus stop, Abuja.
Oritsejafor in a statement in Abuja described the rush hour twin blasts that officially killed 72 persons as a monumental disaster. He wondered the kind of hearts these insurgents have that they could terminate lives of so many innocent Nigerians without qualms.
The CAN President lamented that most of the victims are civil servants and traders who were going about their normal businesses.
Judgement, he said, awaits those who are responsible for the dastardly act including their sponsors.
Pastor Oristejafor described insurgency as inimical to the development and growth of the nation.
He called the federal government to be more proactive in tackling insurgency in the country’s North-East, which is now spreading to other parts of the nation.
While sympathising with the families of the deceased, the CAN President prayed for God to give them fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
He called on the perpetrators of evil in the country to change their ways and turn to God pointing out that judgement of God is upon evil doers in the name of Boko Haram.
