Primate Makinde Challenges FG: Expose The Terrorists Now

Prelate of the Methodist Church Nigeria, Dr Sunday Ola Makinde, has called on the Federal Government and all relevant security agencies in the country to expose those perpetrating acts of terror being witnessed in different parts of the country, especially in the North.

Reacting to the bombing of the Saint Rita’s Catholic Church at Ungwa Yero in Malali, Kaduna, Kaduna State, which left about 10 people dead and nearly 150 others injured, in a release made available by the church’s Media and Public Relations Officer, Reverend Oladapo Daramola, the Prelate said, “until those behind these series of acts of terror are exposed, there is the possibility that these blood-thirsty people will not stop.

“It is surprising that since these acts of terror began, nobody has been arrested and brought to justice. This is more like an endorsement for them to carry on in these evil acts. It is a licence to kill. Until those behind these terror plots are brought to justice, we may see more repeats of these kinds of acts.

“The big question however is, how many more innocent people have to die before we declare a full blown and effective war on terrorism? At least, by now, we should know those who we are contending with and what their clear motives are. Is it a declaration of war against Christendom or an attempt to frustrate and make life unbearable for the government of the day? We don’t want to leave room for assumptions, which is why the intelligence community and the government must respond adequately and decisively to this national emergency,” Makinde added.
He condoled with the state governor, Mr Patrick Yakowa and the people of the state.
