LAGOS –\u00a0 TRADE Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, has described the Christmas Day bombings in Madalla, near Abuja, which claimed several lives as an affront to God or Allah that the perpetrators claim to represent and called for the sack of the nation\u2019s security chiefs as they have failed the nation.<\/p>\n

In a statement by President-General and Secretary-General of TUC, Comrade Peter Esele and Chief John Kolawole, respectively, the umbrella body for senior staff associations in the country, said it was sad over the continuous state of wastage of human lives by a faceless religious sect and enemy of the Nigerian masses,\u00a0 Boko Haram.<\/p>\n

According to the TUC, \u201cthis group of cultists and devil advocates who claim to be fighting for God, have become an affront to God and whatever religion they claim to represent, as they have no rights whatever to attack, bomb and kill fellow citizens in the house of God.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe\u00a0 five bombs which exploded on Christmas Day at churches in Nigeria, including St Theresa\u2019s Catholic Church in Madalla, an Abuja satellite town,\u00a0 killing\u00a0 27 people, have further raised fears that Islamist militant group, Boko Haram, which claimed responsibility, is trying to ignite sectarian civil war that may split the country and consume even Boko Haram and their sponsors.<\/p>\n

\u201cTUC pleads with all Christian leaders and their followers never to be drawn into an era of senseless religious wars that will do us no good, as countries in the world that have been enmeshed in these cowardly acts have not survived it.<\/p>\n

\u201cChurches and other organisations should henceforth devise means of protecting and defending worshippers by having bomb detectors installed and screen all visitors.\u00a0 We have severally in the recent past demanded for a total overhaul of the nation\u2019s security forces and appoint the heads on competence and commitment not on seniority or quota basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
