National President of Christian Association of Nigeria Youth Wing,
YOWICAN, Pastor Simon Dolly, and the Bauchi State chairman, Pastor Simon
Samuel, have challenged the Federal Government to hold state governors
responsible for religious violence in their domains.
Reacting to the news of the killing of four persons at the St. John
Catholic Church, Bauchi, yesterday morning, by a suicide bomber, they
argued that since the governors are the chief security officers of their
respective states, they should be held accountable for any security
breach.
A suicide bomber attacked St. John Catholic Church at about 9.00am
with an explosives-laden car while the second Mass was about to start in
the North Eastern city of Bauchi, yesterday. Two people were killed
with 46 injured.
In his reaction, Pastor Dolly condemned the latest in a series of
attack on the church, noting that the Federal Government, Bauchi State
government and indeed all the state governors must be more proactive in
tackling the current menace.
Also reacting, Rev. Samuel, who put the number of casualty at four
with 46 injured, called on all Christians in the country to rally round
the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, leadership which had declared
a three-day fasting and prayers for peace in the nation.
