condemned the twin bomb attacks in Kaduna state on
Wednesday, July 23 which left at least 82 people dead.
General Ibrahim Babangida
Babangida, in a statement yesterday said: "The latest
attack in Kaduna on Wednesday by yet unknown persons
has once again thrown up new dimensions in the political
life of our dear country. This, and several other attacks have
tended to portray our dear country as a terrorist nation that
is grappling with insecurity. To state the least, this
bloodletting must stop. This bloodletting has to stop.
"I have sat back in my quiet retirement home in Minna to
ponder what could be the motivation for these several
attacks, but I am yet to find any explanation why Nigerians
would be killing fellow Nigerians. For those of us who
fought the civil war, our painful sense of nostalgia still
remains deep, as much as our patriotic attitude towards this
great country, Nigeria. These wanton killings and needless
bloodletting have continued to retard our growth and
democratic journey, forcing the system to improvise all
manners of mechanisms to arrest this descent to anarchy. It
is callous and inhuman for anyone to goad this country on
the path of perfidy, a path that is laid with landmines and
bombs. This is totally unacceptable.
