18 out of the
over 40 people who lost their lives in the 2011 Christmas Day bombing of St.
Theresa Catholic Church, Suleja, were buried yesterday, in a single grave dug
beside the church. During the
church service for the burial, the Emir of Suleja, Mallam Awwal Ibrahim, who
came for the service, was booed and chased out by parishioners of the church
when he was called to say a few words. No one wanted to hear anything he had
say. The emir and his entourage had no choice but to leave. Christians in the
city are angry with the emir over what they say was his lack of concern or
sympathy for the victims of the Christmas Day bombing.
