Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has stated that the attempted bombing of a branch of Living Faith Church in Kaduna was carried out by a Hausa Fulani Muslim, not a Christian as reported.

Contrary to Police PRO, DSP Yakubu Sabo, who identified the suspect as Nathaniel Samuel, a Christian from Bauchi State, Femi Fani-Kayode stated that the susoects's name is Mohammed Nasiru Sani, a Muslim.

He said he was told by a Kaduna-based Pastor Azzaman that “The Kaduna bomb planter Mohammed Sani confessed to being forced in detention to bear Nathaniel Tanko in custody.

“He confirmed he is a Muslim & Fulani.He also claims an influential Muslim contracted him to bomb Living Faith Church Kaduna”.

On his part, Fani-Kayode wrote: “If anyone really believes that the individual that attempted to plant a bomb in Winners Chapel, Kaduna is a Christian and that his real name is Nathaniel Tanko they need to have their heads examined. He is actually a Hausa Fulani Muslim and his real name is Mohammed Nasiru Sani.”
