Some Islamic scholars in Kano have condemned the bomb attacks in churches around the country on Christmas Day.
Some religious fanatics bombed churches in Madalla, Niger and Jos as well as Damaturu, killing many and injuring others.
Islamic scholars in Kano on Monday, described the attacks as? “inhuman and wicked”.
Sheik Muhammad Isa described the attack as “unfortunate and heartless,” adding that that no worshipper should be attacked at a place of worship especially on holy days.
He said the attackers were not adherents of any faith as? no true believer could cause such harm to innocent people.
Sheikh Usman Saif, another cleric, said God would not spare the bombers “for using a religious period to shed blood and upset people.”
“How can a person or a group of people, who believe in God, hunt people at such a period when people were praying to their God?”
He urged the government to tighten security to stop fanatical religious sects or groups from unleashing terror on people, especially on special occasions.
A female scholar, Ummah Abdul, also condemned the attack, and urged Nigerians to be their brother’s keeper in order to achieve lasting peace and stability in the country.
