Kano bombing: 90% of northern politicians are Boko Haram members - CAN

Reacting to the bomb attack in Kano on Monday, Christian Association
of Nigeria's (CAN) Public Relations Officer in the 19 Northern States
and Abuja, Mr. Sunny Oibe, condemned the attack, he said, almost

90 per cent of core northern politicians are members of this Boko
Haram. In fact, they are the real Boko Haram and the people sponsoring
them.

 Mr. Sunny also commiserated with families of the dead victims and
appealed for the intervention of the international community to deal
with "these animals once and for all".

In his words, Oibe said, "We commiserate with families of the people
who lost their loved ones and they should take solace in the God of
vengeance who is going to fight on their behalf.

The latest attack has exposed the hypocrisy of the people calling for
amnesty for Boko Haram members. It is surprising that they were
demanding amnesty for people who have been killing innocent citizens
on daily basis.

We are sad about it and the latest attack goes to show that they are
not ready for any ceasefire. All the people calling for amnesty are
part of these problems because they are shielding these people, he
added.

"Why won't they forget their amnesty demand and go and appeal to these
people? What happened in Kano today also took place in Maiduguri as
well. There were a lot of killings that also took place in Maiduguri.
It therefore means that these people just want to harass everybody and
pave way to declare an Islamic state in the northern part of Nigeria.

We want to encourage the federal and state governments that are
responsible to step up their security apparatus and ensure that they
combat all these people. If need be, the government should invite the
international community.

Look at what France is doing in Mali where some of them are hiding
inside caves. So, Nigeria should bring in the British who colonized
us. Why are they folding their hands? Let the international community
intervene and deal with these animals once and for all. They cannot
continue to kill human beings in the name of religion we do not
understand", CAN said.
