The truth is he was paid by Muslims to tarnish the image of Christianity and to further an agenda that not only Muslims are terrorists. And that was not a bomb. Even a dunce can deduce it.

Amotolongbo:
This is the very reason why the foreign religions we practise are not helping us in this part of the world.

A terrorist almost succeeded in killing numerous people through an explosion, we have not been able to look deep into the issue. All we have been dragging since it happened were base on the religion the attempt bomber practiced, just to score cheap political or religious point.

Arranged or real?
It still bothers on scoring cheap points by the two religions, Christianity and Islam, what the hell is this all about?

There are numerous questions we could ask the bomber;
Who sent him?
What motivated him into the act?
How did he get the explosives?
When has he been planning this act?
What has he to gain if he succeeded in the act?

These are questions that can help in finding solutions to the menace, not this religious tussle that has been happening since the attempt was foiled.

valentineuwakwe:
am still confused here, why will a Christian want to bomb a church?

FarFromAverage:


you cant find Christian terrorist bro, not in this life!

malvisguy212:
the boy is a Christian, a drug addict, he live in kurmin mashi before . I believed he is being paid by some allahji to carry the explosive into a church.

backnbeta:
Either of three things:
1. He is a Christian, but was paid to carry the 'bomb' to mess up Christianity and cause confusion
2. He is a Muslim, paid to carry the 'bomb' by top government officials or religious bigots out to tarnish the Christians
3. He was a Christian, converted to Islam and now a terrorist
4.He was used as part of an orchestrated plan to paint the Buhari administration in bad light before the international community.

Whatever they say; Christians don't bomb in the name of religion... it's not our modus operandi

Commentor:


Same reason Judas betrayed Jesus.

Suremikky:

Mrpojj:

So after reaching his father's house all they want to confirm is if he is a Christian?
The police don't care who sent him, who's planned it with,

Patrioticman007:


What of Adolf Hitler a terrorist Christian, that killed more than 20 million people and caused the death of more than 50 million people. Google these facts. Olodo

NaMeAboki:
Where are the bigots who insist he is not a Christian?

Let them find another excuse to exonerate him and tell us who they would be blaming had he succeeded in detonating the bomb in the church as planned.

Let their divisive political party CAN ( a.k.a Can of Worms) organise another protest march, this time to admit their culpability in preaching more division than unity among Nigerians and furthermore apologise to the govt and the many Muslims they have maligned through their insensitive propaganda.

We have not forgotten how they marched and falsely accused Muslims of the murder of the two Benue priests and later in a similar manner, the Enugu priest; only for the truth to subsequently emerge that the priests were killed not by Muslims as alleged but by their own kinsmen and fellow Christian brothers - for which CAN had unashamedly remained silent without any apology; along with their co-conspirators, the media houses, especially AIT, who is currently trying to ignore the failed Christian Church Bomber (Nathaniel Samuel) story; unlike their usual selves when they would have been falling over themselves in order to invite guest speakers to dissect and lambast their usual perceived enemies (Muslims/northerners).

PRESS RELEASE:

*ARREST OF CHRISTIAN BOMBER IS MOCKERY OF CAN RALLY*

The Kaduna State Police Command yesterday announced the arrest of a suspected suicide bomber inside a church located at Sabon Tasha in Chukun Local Government Area of the state. According to the state’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Yakubu Sabo, the suspect, a middle aged man by name Nathaniel Samuel, a Christian from Bauchi State, was apprehended inside the church with a bag containing items suspected to be Improvised Explosive Devices (IED). The suspect was arrested yesterday, Sunday, 2nd February, 2020. About 200 worshippers usually attend the church every Sunday.

The attempt to bomb the Sabon Tasha church has been condemned by a human rights organization, Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC). In a press statement issued by the director of the organization, Professor Ishaq Akintola, on Monday, 3rd February, 2020, the group commended the Kaduna State police command for its diligence and described the arrest as divinely ordained.

“This arrest is the outcome of our prayers for Allah to expose all those who are behind the bombing of churches. We are not surprised that the suspect happens to be a Christian. We have said it on several occasions that there is a Christian version of Boko Haram. Christians bomb churches and the whole world blame Nigerian Muslims for the atrocity.

“The arrest of Nathaniel Samuel for attempting to bomb this church is not a new development. Victor Moses was arrested on 1st March, 2016 for spying for Boko Haram bombers. He confessed that he carried out surveillance before the bombing of Madalla church in Abuja on 25th December, 2011. It must be noted that for every single arrest there must have been several successful crimes committed. There is no doubt that there are many other Christians warming up somewhere to bomb churches and lay the blame on Muslims.

“We give kudos to the Kaduna Police Command for this feat. People blame the security agencies for no just cause sometimes. This arrest must have been the outcome of careful planning and prolonged surveillance. Those who handled the operation deserve promotion.

“But the arrest of a Christian attempting to bomb a church makes mockery of the rally organized by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) yesterday. The rally was called ostensibly to protest against alleged rising insecurity in the country. But God works in wonderful ways. He exposed another plot by a fellow Christian to bomb a church on the same day that CAN called for the rally. The coincidence is equally divine and it gives the impression that the rally itself was nothing but a hocus pocus.

“CAN would have exploded immediately in its usual self-righteousness if Nathaniel Samuel had succeeded in bombing the church yesterday. A world press conference would have been held this morning to blame the killing on Muslims. Also, there would have been screaming headlines in newspapers across the country : Boko Haram Bombs Church Again: Hundreds Killed! White House would have called Aso Rock: Why are you killing Christians? This scenario is becoming too ridiculous. It is turning our country into a bundle of contradictions. We say enough is enough. This hypocrisy in articulated religiousity must stop.

“CAN nurses a false dogma of permanent insecurity, incompetence and persecution. But in reality, Nigeria today is much better than Nigeria in 2015 when the Buhari administration took over. Boko Haram that was controlling 17 local governments at that time has been reduced to a pack of hoodlums hitting and running. Nigerian soldiers who were running and hiding from the insurgents before are now putting the latter on the run. The fact that Boko Haram tactics have diminished to guerrilla warfare cements our hypothesis of a debilitated insurgency. Ditto for kidnappings and armed robbery. There is a gross reduction in the spate of crime but groups like CAN feed fat on misinformation.

“In a nutshell, MURIC calls on patriotic Nigerians to continue to pray for peace, political stability and economic prosperity. But above all, we call on the security agencies to step up their safety measures. Life is sacred and this country can only make progress in an atmosphere of security. Therefore, the security agencies must be alert to their responsibilities. We charge Nigerians to be extra-vigilant. Our enemies are in our midst.”
