OSOGBO- Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun state has condemned the Christmas day bombing in Madalla by the Boko Haram sect.

Aregbesola made the condemnation at the first annual conference of an Islamic group, the Nasrul-lahi-l- Fatih Society of Nigeria (NASFAT) in Osogbo.

It will be recalled that the bomb attack on December 25 in Niger State left many Christian worshipers dead while others sustained various degrees of injuries.

The governor described the development as a very sad and irresponsible act which had no justification of any kind in Islam.

He said that all genuine Muslims in the whole world must strongly condemn the dastardly act as ungodly in all its ramifications.

Aregbesola decried the ugly act which, he said, was against Islamic teachings or doctrine even as he denounced all the activities of the Boko Haram.

He said that even at wartime, women and children were protected by combatants as against what the sect had been doing.

The governor said that the wanton killings and maiming of people by the sect must no longer be tolerated by the authorities.

He decried a situation where the sect had continued to perpetrate atrocities under the guise of waging religious war
