LAGOS \u2014 Presidential candidate of the Fresh Democratic Party F.R.E.S.H in the April 2011 Presidential election, Rev Chris Okotie, who will be 53 years old tomorrow has said the suicide bombing at the Police headquarters was shocking and unprecedented.<\/p>\n

In his birthday message from the FRESH secretariat in Lagos, Okotie said: \u2018\u2019I was saddened and outraged by this unfortunate incident when I got the news. When the law enforcement agencies become targets of this kind of attack, who then is safe? The Federal Government must move swiftly to arrest this situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pastor-politician whose birthday will be celebrated on Sunday in his church, The Household of God, Oregun, Lagos, expressed regret at the loss of life and urged all Nigerians to be vigilant. He said bombings should not be viewed in isolation, but the entire state of national security including kidnapping, armed robbery, assassinations, arson, pipeline vandalism, terrorism and cross border crime should be carefully analysed and lasting solutions proffered to restore peace and tranquillity in the nation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
