Former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial district, Shehu Sani has reacted to the arrest of a suspected suicide bomber at Living Faith Church, a.k a Winners Chapel, in Kaduna.
The Kaduna State Police Command, on Sunday, reported the arrest of a suspected suicide bomber inside a church located at Sabon Tasha in Chukun Local Government Area of the state.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Yakubu Sabo confirmed that the suspect, Nathaniel Samuel, a Christian from Bauchi State, was apprehended inside the church with a bag containing items suspected to be Improvised Explosive Devices (IED).
Sani said the arrest of a Christian attempting to bomb a church shows the religious division among Nigerians.
The former Kaduna lawmaker on his Twitter page said those happy that the alleged bomber is a Christian show tragedy in the country.
According to Sani, this affirms the loss of brotherhood in the country.
Sani wrote: ”There are those who are not happy that the alleged bomber ‘is not a Muslim’; there are those who are happy that the alleged bomber ‘is a Christian.’
”We view our common tragedies via our religious lenses and prejudices and hence lost our common brotherhood and humanity.”
