REACTIONS have started to trail the release of names of victims of New Road park suicide bomb attack in Kano by the state government, just as many said that Kano State government was mischievous by claiming that those mostly affected by the bomb blast were not of Igbo extraction, but indigenes of the state.
It will be recalled that Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, on Friday, released a list of 25 names, most of whom non-Igbo, to refute the claims that the bombers deliberately targeted Igbo people at the park, which he said was the claim of some “Abuja politicians” to read ethnic meaning to the suicide attack.
Most of the statements posted online berated Governor Kwankwaso and his list, which some of them described as “laughable and insensible”.
According to one Chief Idika, “The Kano State governor has no regard for non-natives living in Kano. The first thing I saw was 20 souls on the ground and fire had engulfed five buses. This is the greatest attack we have ever received since the civil war.”
One Mr Ejike Tochukwu said what the governor did was “disrespectful and proves that he is justifying the attack and the cause of the terrorists. How can anyone go so low to disprove what is already a common knowledge that people of Igbo extraction were mostly affected by the attack? He was merely playing to the gallery.”
