The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity,
Femi Adesina, has said the Monday attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train and
subsequent killing of passengers on board was premeditated.
Terrorists on Monday night bombed
the Abuja-Kaduna rail tracks and attacked a train filled with passengers.
The train attack was coming after terrorists, numbering over
200, on Saturday invaded the Kaduna International Airport located in Igabi
Local Government Area in Kaduna State, disrupting operation and killing one
security personnel of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency.
The attack caused panic at the airport and reportedly
grounded a Lagos-bound AZMAN aircraft scheduled to take off at 12:30 pm.
But Adesina described the attackers as “people who hate God,
who loathe humanity, and who despise themselves”.
Adesina revealed these in an article titled, ‘They hate God,
they loathe humanity’, and shared on his official Facebook page on Thursday.
The article read in part, “Haters of God and humanity struck
on Monday, bombing the Abuja-Kaduna train. They then proceeded to open fire on
passengers of the immobilized coaches. It was premeditated murder from the very
bottom of hell.
“See the toll of the carnage. Promising lives, cut short.
Destinies terminated. Hopes and plans, ruptured. People who committed no sin,
no crime, except that they lived in the same space with people who hate God,
who loathe humanity, and who despise themselves.
“Hell awaits them, indeed, the hottest part of that nether
region, “where their worms do not die, and the fire is never quenched.”
While commiserating with families who lost their loved ones
to the terror attack, Adesina assured them that the Federal Government would
stop at nothing in bringing the terorists to justice.
“Whoever or whatever they are, terrorists, bandits, it doesn’t
matter. They sow evil, and they will reap it. They do not deserve to live. Not
in this world, nor the next. They need to be sent to their master, the Devil,
and speedily too.
“The rail revolution
in the country has been hailed for its safety, comfort, luxury. Now the evil
people have come to show that they hate safety, comfort, luxury. They abhor any
form of progress or development. They prefer to live in the Stone Age, out
there in the wild, visiting sorrow, tears, and blood on humanity.
“Short of personally carrying a gun to confront the
troublers of the country (he did that in his younger days), President Buhari
has given the necessary support to the different security agencies. He has
equipped them, trained them, boosted their morale in different ways.
“And they, too, have risen to the occasion. Daily, they are
dispatching the evil people to meet their principal, the Devil. But those ones
keep coming like locusts. You cut their fingers, they are even wearing rings.
“However, there’s one thing we are sure of. Evil has never
overcome good. Light has never conquered darkness. Nigeria will win. This
country will be rid of terrorists, insurgents, bandits, ritual killers, all
forms of criminals. As night inexorably follows the day, and dawn comes again,
it will happen.”
The presidential spokesman also cautioned Nigerians against
speaking “evil” about the country, adding that such utterances forbade well for
the country.
“But the role of some Nigerians in perpetuating anomie in
the country is worrisome. Through their tongues. They say evil about the
country, utter negativity, thinking they are saying it against the government
of the day. I mean even bishops, pastors, imams, commentators, talk show hosts,
all sorts.
“They are engaged in war of tongues with Nigeria. They don’t
know that the more they say it, the more evil happens.
“The cup fills up, and runs over. Let’s change our tongues.
Change our hearts about our country. Out of the abundance of the heart, the
mouth speaks. Let’s begin to bless our country, rather than curse, and sow
negatives in the hearts of people.”

What do you say your name was. I don't believe you at all. You have been in support of the bandits because your principal did not take timely actions to nib them in the bud. This insurgency has longed been the desires of expansionist and religious extremist. Initially I didn't believe so. For some of us who were born in the north and school there started noticing violence mixed up with religious intolerance after the maitatsine uprising. From Zango Kataf clashes the whole thing took religious and ethnic colorization with highly placed northerners supporting and taking sides. Nigerians have not been so divided and traumatized like now.
