The Muslim Right Concern, MURIC has reacted to the arrest of a suspected suicide bomber who attempted to bomb a Living Faith Church in Kaduna on Sunday. Muric has condemned the action in its totality, saying the God almighty will continue to protect Nigerian from the machination of evildoers. The Kaduna state police command had on Sunday reported that they arrested one, Nathaniel Samuel, a suspected suicide bomber inside the church who attempted to bomb a church located at Sabon Tasha in Chikun Local Government Area in Kaduna state.
However, MURIC said the arrest of a Christian attempting to bomb a church makes a mockery of the rally organised by Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) yesterday.
According to the state Public Relation Officer (PPRO), DSP Yakubu Sabo, the suspect, a middle-aged man by name Nathaniel Samuel, a Christian from Bauchi state was arrested inside a church while trying to plant item suspected to be an Improvised Explosive Device (IED).
Meanwhile, the MURIC in it’s press statement transmitted to the Daily Post by the Director of the Organisation, Prof. Ishaq Akintola on Monday applauded the Nigerian Police for its prompt intervention of arresting the suspect describing the arrest as divinely ordained.
The statement added, “This arrest is the outcome of our prayers for Allah to expose all those who are behind the bombing of churches. We are not surprised that the suspect happens to be a Christian. We have said it on several occasions that there is a Christian version of Boko Haram. Christian’s bomb churches and the whole world blame Nigerian Muslims for the atrocity.
“The arrest of Nathaniel Samuel for attempting to bomb this church is not a new development. Victor Moses was arrested on 1st March 2016 for spying for Boko Haram bombers. He confessed that he carried out surveillance before the bombing of Madalla church in Abuja on 25th December 2011. It must be noted that for every single arrest there must have been several successful crimes committed. There is no doubt that there are many other Christians warming up somewhere to bomb churches and lay the blame on Muslims.
According to MURIC, the arrest of a Christian brother attempting to bomb a church has made a mockery of the rally organised by the CAN yesterday. The rally was tagged ostensibly to protest against alleged rising insecurity in the country. But God works in a mysterious way, MURIC added.
MURIC said plot by a fellow Christian to bomb a church on the same day CAN be called for the rally. The coincidence is equally divine and gives the impression that the rally itself was a hocus pocus.
“CAN would have exploded immediately in its usual self-righteousness if Nathaniel Samuel had succeeded in bombing the church yesterday. A world press conference would have been held this morning to blame the killing on Muslims.
“Also, there would have been screaming headlines in newspapers across the country: Boko Haram Bombs Church Again: Hundreds Killed! White House would have called Aso Rock: Why are you killing Christians? The statement added.
MURIC accuses CAN of nursing a false dogma of permanent insecurity, incompetence and persecution, however, in reality, Nigeria today is better than Nigeria of 2015 who Boko Haram were taking over territories.
Meanwhile, the MURIC called on well-meaning Nigerians to continue to pray for peace, political stability and economic prosperity, at the same time call on security agency to step up their game in spearing all Nigerian peoples lives.
