ABUJA \u2013 Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar\u00a0 has warned that\u00a0 acts of violence that\u00a0 are being unleashed\u00a0 in parts of the country can lead to retaliatory actions in which more innocent people will suffer.<\/p>\n

He also expressed worry that the unfolding situation could lead to the erosion of confidence in organized society and government thereby setting the stage for anarchy. This was contained in a press statement, Tuesday, by the former Vice-President\u2019s Media Office in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Atiku further\u00a0 condemned last Christmas day bombings\u00a0 of churches in several parts of Northern Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Atiku while\u00a0 condemning the bombings and associated\u00a0 wanton destruction of lives and property at Madalla, Gudaka, Damaturu, Maiduguri and Jos said there is no cause that could\u00a0 justify the snuffing out innocent lives.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0 former\u00a0 Vice-President further stated that\u00a0 he has been deeply saddened by these acts of violence that have\u00a0 led to the loss of many lives.<\/p>\n

He expressed his profound and heartfelt sympathies to the families of those who lost dear ones and wished\u00a0 those that were injured a quick recovery.<\/p>\n

He called on Nigerians to give the authorities the needed support to handle the situation adding that all citizens eschew\u00a0 bias for religion or ethnicity\u00a0 and be good, kind and supportive of one another in this difficult period. The former Vice President also urged for a greater respect for the sanctity of life and differences in culture and religion.<\/p>\n

He maintained that enlightenment through education, economic empowerment and constructive dialogue are a panacea to stemming this cycle of blood-letting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
