Reactions:
Yanshi Stephen Bawa said, ‘’May God save the people of southern Kaduna and the country at large.’’
Ola Manasseh commented, ‘’Attack on Christians everyday in the north and Buhari is doing nothing. This is barbaric.’’
Frank Ik Onah posted, ‘’Mailafiya’s revelation and ABU VC testament are on course. It is difficult to keep hearing what is happening in Nigeria and remain healthy. We have all been emotionally, psychologically traumatized, dehumanized and battered by the Nigerian state. In as much as I am not doubting God’s ability to intervene, it is really tough now to make genuine and concentrated prayers.’’
Alexander Nwaolulu said, "When Christians complain of these attacks being directed at them, the sympathizers of these evil doers will come after them. Does the happenings not show that Christians are mostly affected by these deliberate attacks? It’s obvious that Christians are their targets. It can’t always be a coincidence. Some persons would want to cite the abduction of the students of Islamiah school. But I can’t be deceived by that.’’
