Finger pointing in Nigeria

From Punch "The Most Widely Read Newspaper in Nigeria". Christians blame the Muslims, Muslims blame the Christians.

The Christian Association of Nigeria in Plateau State has condemned the recent violence in the state.

Addressing a press conference on Saturday, the state CAN Chairman, Dr. Ignatius Kaigama said, “We are greatly pained and saddened by the events that took place and we deeply sympathise with all those who have been affected directly or indirectly in the crisis.

“We were greatly taken aback by the turn of events in Jos. We thought it was a political issue, but from all indications, it is not so. We were surprised at the way some of our churches and property were attacked and some of our faithful and clergies killed.

“The attacks were carefully planned and executed. The questions that bog our minds are: why were churches and clergies attacked and killed?
