President Goodluck Jonathan has condemned Sunday's suicide
bomb attack on a Catholic Church in Kaduna, describing it as "barbaric,
cruel and uncalled for."
A statement from the Office of Reuben Abati, Special Adviser to
the President on Media and Publicity revealed that Dr Jonathan was extremely
saddened by the explosion but resolute that the war against terrorism would
become more unrelenting as the nation would never give in to the forces of
terror and retardation.
President Jonathan noted that the apparent objective of
the criminal and unpatriotic elements and forces behind the attack was to set
back the progress the Administration had made in the fight against terrorism in
the country.
It is obvious he said that the perpetrators did not mean
well for Nigeria and its unity and development, but he insisted that the
persistence of messengers of evil would not prevail over the will of the
government and the people to secure peace and safety
The
President commiserated with the Catholic Church, family and friends of the
victims of the bombing, assuring them that government’s resolve to deal with
the threat of terrorism remained strong.
Government's efforts to deal with all acts of terror and
violence would only be redoubled even as he promised that the security
agencies would continue to receive all the support they needed to reverse the
unacceptable trend that threatened the peace and stability of the nation
