Kano\u2014Islamic scholars in Kano have condemned the bomb attacks in churches around the country on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

The scholars described the attacks as \u201cinhuman and wicked.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sheik Muhammad Isa described the attack as \u201cunfortunate and heartless,\u201d adding that that no worshiper should be attacked at a place of worship, especially on holy days.<\/p>\n

He said the attackers were not adherents of any faith as no true believer could cause such harm to innocent people.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Usman Saif, another cleric, said God would not spare the bombers \u201cfor using a religious period to shed blood and upset people.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can a person or a group of people, who believe in God hurt people at such a period when people were praying to their God?\u201d<\/p>\n

He urged the government to step up security measures.<\/p>\n

\u2026 lawmaker, too<\/strong>
By Tina akannam
Dutse\u2014Senator Danladi Sankara, representing Jigawa North Central in the National Assembly, yesterday, condemned the Christmas day bombings in some parts of northern states of the country, describing the perpetrators as wicked Nigerians opposed to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP-led government.<\/p>\n

Sankara, however, appealed against reprisal attacks in other parts of the country.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThere is no doubt that the unfortunate blasts on Christmas day were targeted at innocent worshippers to provoke Nigerians against the leadership of the ruling party.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese acts are condemnable in every sense of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
