Nigerians have reacted to the news that a Christian man attempted to bomb a branch of Living Faith Church in Kaduna State.
MyNigeria reported that the suspect was apprehended with items believed to be Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) inside the Church located at Sabon Tasha in Chukun Local Government Area of the Kaduna State.
The State Police PRO, DSP Yakubu Sabo, identified the suspect as Nathaniel Samuel, a Christian from Bauchi State.
However, this was debunked by former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, who revealed the identity of the suspect to be Mohammed Nasiru Sani, a Hausa Fulani Muslim.
Reacting to the news of the attempted bombing, Nigerians took to social media to express why they find the story to be shady.
Below are some reactions gathered by MyNigeria.
Nathaniel Samuel bomb Faux!

1.He is a member of the church? Meaning he would've bombed his mom, brother, father, siblings and friends?
3. Why did Police intercept the bomb instead of antibomb squad?
4.He didn't detonate but waited for his arrest?
This burnt dodo no follow!????
My dear it's all planned out to debunk the 'Islamists killing Christians ' narrative . This govt know what they r doing.

A bomb and a policeman is holding the bomb like it's an iPhone.
No mind the dull people. Just because there was going to be a nationwide protest by Christians they are trying to push a narrative. The world is watching. They can device the gullible Muslims amongst them. We can't be deceived we know how the wicked think

They want you to believe terrorism doesn't have religion, that's why they organised "this drama" .

If boko Haram wanted to detonate that bomb, they would..
We are not all fools...we see the lies and the agenda.
Firstly, even if the angle they wanna ply seems laudable to them, it holds no weight.

They want to paint a situation of Christian extremism in Nigeria, we only know of the Islamic Jihadist all these while.
Anyway, I'm of the opinion that Nath Sam ain't a Nigerian
