The Nigerian Minister of Interior Abba Moro Monday announced Federal Government's free education plan for children who lost their parents in the Christmas blast at the St. Theresa’s Catholic Church in Madalla, Suleja Local Government, Niger State.
According to the minister, who made the promise when he paid a visit to the members of the church, said President Goodluck Jonathan was disturbed by the attack and promised that government had decided to sponsor injured victims for foreign treatment.
Moro said government was disturbed by the incessant bombing in some states, assuring the nation that government was working tirelessly toward ensuring that security was improved across the country.
He told the members of the church that they were not alone in the pains inflicted by the “dastardly act” of the bombers.
He said he was going to visit the blast victims who are presently receiving treatment at the National Hospital, Gwagwalada Specialist Hospital and other hospitals in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Also speaking, the Parish Priest, Reverend Father Isaac Achi, said he was not in church during the fateful morning mass, but when he was alerted, he rushed to the church to find the whole place in chaos.
“When I got to church, I saw several corpses on the ground at the frontage of the church gate,” he said.
The Reverend Father said the church was yet to ascertain the level of the damage on the church and the exact number of casualties from his parish.
Meanwhile, a short mass was yesterday held for the victims of the bomb blast in the church.
