Reverend Jeremiah Abutu, who is the coordinating secretary-general for NIFROP said the incident would have led into national mourning and fingers pointed at wrong quarters.

Abutu said Nigeria is indeed on the path to greatness owing to the fact that President Muhammadu Buhari is God's anointed choice.

He also advised religious leaders in the country to quit the silence only because Nathaniel is Christian.

Abutu said: "This act is despicable as well as condemnable in the light that had the mission been successful; Nigeria would have been thrown into mourning of phenomenal proportion, and accusing fingers would have been pointed in the wrong direction, which would further heighten religious hostilities in the country. We thank God."
