The youth wing of the Plateau State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has faulted the Sultan of Sokoto Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, over the multiple bomb explosions that rocked Jos on Christmas Eve.

Its chairman, Pastor Bistu Johnson said: "The reaction of the Sultan on such serious issues affecting human lives is diversionary. While world leaders, the United Nations and African Union (AU) condemned the act of terrorism, the Sultan chose to play the blame game."

He added: "We note the attitude and remarks of the Sultan with dismay and an attempt to divert attention from the main issues. It is simply a ploy to shield the terrorists who have openly claimed responsibility for the attack and absolve them of blame.

"We are, therefore, calling on the Sultan to apologise to the people of Plateau and Nigerians who lost loved ones in the multiple explosions. We are calling on the Sultan to apologise to the peace loving people of Plateau State who have been receiving Jihadist terror attacks!"
