Northern socio-political group, the Arewa Consultative Forum, has described the bomb blasts in Kano as shocking.
The group, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Anthony Sani, on Monday said the attack was uncalled for.
It stated, “The attacks at the New Road,
Kano Motor Park, Sabon Gari, today is shocking and uncalled, for,
considering the pleas by Nigerians and governments that those engaged in
violent killings for purpose of addressing their concerns should lay
their arms and embrace constructive dialogue.
On his part, a civil rights activist,
Mallam Shehu Sani, said the blast was a sign that government was
incapable of protecting the lives and property of its citizens.
He added that government should commence meaningful dialogue with aggrieved parties without delay
Executive Director, Civil Societies Legislative and Advocacy Centre, Auwual Musa, said the Kano blasts were condemnable.
Musa, in a telephone interview with one
of our correspondents, said, “All of these security challenges are
diversionary. Insane corruption by successive administrations is
responsible for what we are seeing now.
“Sadly, like it or not, there are those
who are profiting from this mindless bloodletting, they will answer to
God almighty on the day of judgment.
“The bomb blast in Kano today is condemnable and an act against God and all humanity.”
Meanwhile, the Christian Association of
Nigeria has reacted to the killing, saying it exposed the hypocrisy of
those canvassing amnesty for Boko Haram members.
The association also called for the intervention of the international community to “deal with suspects once and for all.”
