THE Bauchi State chapter of the Christian Association has accused soldiers of killing worshippers after a suicide bombers attacked the Living Faith Church and Harvest Field Church on Sunday.

CAN also disputed the casualty figure given by the police in last Sunday’s suicide bombing that occurred at Living Faith and Harvest field churches in Yelwa area of Bauchi metropolis.

While the police put the casualty figure at 12, CAN said no fewer than 20 people died in the incident.

He alleged that the police did not take into account the eight people who were shot by soldiers.

The association also said 42 sustained injuries following the suicide bomb attack

Addressing a press conference in Bauchi on Monday, the state CAN chairman, Rev Lawi Pokti said, “Out of 20 people that were confirmed dead, 12 died as a result of bomb blast while eight were shot dead by the military who went to the blast site to maintain law and order.

“Fourty five persons have been confirmed wounded out of which 25 were injured by bomb blast while 20 sustained various degrees of injuries from the gun shots from the military.

“We condemn in strong term this dastardly act and see it as evil and satanic excited by devilish terrorist who paraded themselves under the canopy of Islam. We strongly declare it as a crime against humanity.”

He added, “As much as the Christian church appreciates the efforts of the Government in quick response to the site of the incident and the prompt attention given to the wounded by taken them to the teaching hospital for emergency help, we however condemn in strong terms the extra judicial killings. Women and children sustained various degrees of injuries from the military bullets. As far as a civilised world is concerned, we see this act as extra judicial killing and unfortunate worthy of all remorse by the Nigerian Army.

Pokti said the security operatives had no moral and ethical justification to open fire on the women and youth, who came out to mourn their slain loved ones adding.

“The Nigerian Army should claim full responsibility and also compensate all the victims of this extra judicial killings,” he said.

Meanwhile, the umbrella body of Muslims, Jama’atu Nasril Islam(I)and the Christian Association of Nigeria in the North, in Kaduna on Monday condemned the bomb blast on two Churches in Bauchi on Sunday which claimed 12 lives and the destruction of properties.

While the Northern CAN described the attacks on the Churches as barbaric, satanic,evil and unacceptable to Christians and any sound mind, the JNI in reaction to the incident said the attack on the two worship places was unacceptable, saying any attack on worship places was against the tenets of Islam.

The Public Relations Officers of the Christian body, Mr. Sunday Oibe, in a statement commended the efforts of the Federal Government and security agencies at stamping out terrorism and in particular the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria.

MP stands for Military Police , Duh !!!

The police and the press are always telling us lies about the number of deaths and casualties.. The formula is X multiplied by 5, where X is the number death reported..thus, 11 x 5 = 55 people died on sunday..

Thanks tidytim, for a moment there I thought that I was in a kindergarten class. MP is indeed military police

May the souls of the dead RIP. Something really needs to be done about the training of our security services. It is understandable that the troops would have been on edge at the suicide bombing scene, but how do they go and shoot the already traumatised victims? Not one, but eight!

LOL, there are some things that you might not quickly figure-out if you live in Nigeria. 'MP' is one of them, you will not believe the amount of mass misinformation that thrives here. The one that had me giving-up was the "Acid rain" debacle- I was at the bus stop and all of a sudden people started running all-over-the-place. I thought: "What is the problem?" Then realising that it was only I and a girl that were left standing. I realised that people where running from the rain which had began to drizzle- they did not want to be burnt by the 'acid' in 'acid rain'.

Compensation my foot, if u are not yusuf u can neva be compensated for xtra judicial killings. Which way nigeria

I had always thought the NA called its Military Police : "RP" not "MP"

The government and indeed the world including some so called christain leaders maintains silence and some times hypocritic utterances despite the atrocities being perpetrated by these boko jihadists. Their elites instigate and indeed wait for their sons to attack and maim innocent worshippers right in their worship centres and homes so they can afterwards condemn the actions,the bible I know warns against vengeance and it is on this assurance that these misguided cowards carry out their evil deeds.I cannot say it will be today,tomorrow or even the day after but I know for sure that one day enough will be enough and all this nonsense will be settled once and for all and on that day I pray who ever will pass judgement will do so bearing in mind the longsuffering of the church. No offence but if the elites of islam were truly against these boko boys seeing the damages they have done a fatua would have been declared on them this is how I see it correct me if I am wrong.

Go through the pictures and see how body parts ѡεre scattered... I CURSE BOKO HARAM IN THE NAME OF JEHOVAH. Who will join me to say amen!!

When the muslims in the north complained abt the extrajudicial killing of innocent pple, they said army shld kill dem all. Now d army has taken their madnes to church goers u guys are complaining. We know d army, no one calls them to order.
I can't forget this popular phrase, we kill everything both moving and non moving. That's their motto.
