Christians boycotted service in most churches in Kano as the world observed the Good Friday yesterday.
Some of the Christians attributed the development to fears arising from the recent luxury bus bomb blast that rocked the New Road Motor Park, during which no fewer than 30 people lost their lives.
Our correspondent, who visited some of the churches in the Kano metropolis, discovered that most of the seats were empty as worshippers preferred to remain at home to quietly mark the Good Friday.
In his sermon, Rev. Ebenezer Osadeyi of the First Baptist Church said since Jesus Christ died for mankind, believers should still have hope that things will get better.
Still gripped by fear over the tragic incident, some Christians who spoke with our correspondent said it is better to celebrate the Easter alive, hence the need to boycott churches.
However, the cleric urged Christians in the country to resort to prayers, pointing out that Almighty God is the solution to all their problems and that they should have absolute faith in the Creator.
Christians, Osadeyi said, must always believe that Jesus Christ brings peace and reconciliation to mankind and as well grants them forgiveness.
He expressed optimism that the prevailing situation in the country would be over soon, "as long as we back our requests with prayers and submit them to the will of God."

This is bizarre but true. A two-month -old girl was arrested
and paraded in lieu of her father who was suspected to be a dare-devil
robber. The mother was taken into custody along the toddler identified
as Oyinkansola. It happened in Ogun State.
Policemen stormed the residence of the alleged armed robber, Ismail Adeosun, at Ago-Ika in Abeokuta North local government area and, because they could not find the suspect, they arrested every Adeosun available.
Oyinkansola was celebrated with wide media coverage, but in a grotesque manner.
Tongues are wagging over the propriety of the action of the police. Many are asking what offence the baby committed to warrant the treatment. .
Little Oyinkansola was among six suspects paraded by the Ogun State Police Command at its headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta, the state capital, in connection with alleged armed robbery and murder cases which have claimed the lives of no fewer than six people.
Justifying the action, the police said Oyinkansola's father, Ismail, 26, who was at large, was identified as the ring leader of an armed robbery team.
The mother,Fausat, 19 , was said to be the armourer of the team, Oyinkasola's uncle and aunt, Tobi Adeosun, 15, and Iyabode Adeosun respectively, were also not spared as the whole family were cooling their feet in police custody.
When challenged on the allegation leveled against her by the police, Oyinkansola's mother denied the knowledge of her husband's robbery business but said that he (Ismail) operated a film house in Igbo-Ora area of Oyo State.
She told Sunday Vanguard that when she noticed that a gun was brought to the house, her husband threatened to kill her if she informed anybody about it.
"On Sunday, he came to me and I asked him whether he had removed his gun from my house because we don't live together but he said he and his friend, Danladi, were around to pick the gun, I never knew he was a thief until he brought the gun to my house",she said.
"He asked me whether I had told anybody and even threatened to kill me if I had informed anybody and that he will run away and leave me to suffer on his behalf, but I told him I never informed anyone.
"Unfortunately, the police came on Monday and asked me about the gun but I told them his brother had taken the gun away. That was how I was arrested," she said.
Sunday Vanguard gathered that two other members of the gang, Danladi Musa and Taiwo Muse, were arrested by the police when, according to the state police commissioner, Ikemefuna Okoye, the police stormed the residence of the suspects where locally made guns and other ammunition were recovered.
Okoye explained that his men acted on information provided by a member of the
gang who had earlier been arrested and stormed the residence of the suspects where Oyinkansola and others were arrested.
The commissioner said investigation was on and that the suspects would be charged to court upon completion of the investigation. "This woman has been keeping gun for her husband and his 15- year- old brother is also the armourer of the gang," he said.
Speaking with Sunday Vanguard, Ismail's younger brother, Tobi, narrated that it was his brother who the police were looking for before they arrested all the family members including the two months old baby.
But the police commissioner insisted that Tobi is the armourer of the gang while Ismail's wife has also been keeping her husband's arms and ammunition before luck ran out on them.
Tobi, who was allegedly arrested with some ammunition in his possession,wassaid tohave confessed to the police that it was Ismail's wife that had been keeping the gun for her husband, adding that he was only brought to the scene to relocate the arms when the police invaded the house. "It was his wife who has been helping him to watch over his guns.
That day when the police came, his wife, Fausat,called me to hide the gun behind a block beside the house, it was wrapped inside a cloth and, when the police came, I told them everything and even took them to where the gun was hidden,"he said.
"At first, I lied to the police because I was scared and I had never experienced such, I never knew my brother was a thief until that day."
One of the two suspected members of the gang in police net, Danladi, confessed his involvement in some robbery cases, while he further narrated that no fewer than five people lost their lives during the operations.
When asked how he was caught by the police, the suspect said it was in the process of stealing a car in Sango area of Ogun State. He said he was introduced into the business about a year ago.
"I am here because I stole a Golf car at Sango area of the state, I am an armed robber, a friend introduced me to the work in January last year",he said "I have mistakenly killed someone in the process of my work, it wasn't my intention to kill the person but he was dragging ammunition with me and i mistakenly fired the shot. It was the same person who introduced me to the work that gave me the ammunition. His name is Ismail but he is at large.
"I didn't know the person I killed but he was dragging the ammunition with me, probably he thought the gun was empty. We were in the same car in November last year when the incident happened. I have stolen about five cars and the driver of our gang by name Abati was the one in charge of the cars. I don't know where the cars are now but Abati has also escaped."
The other member of the gang who was also nabbed by the police, Taiwo, confessed that no fewer than five people had been killed during the operations in which he participated.
He said that all his effort was because of N30, 000 promised by the alleged gang leader, Ismail, that made him to join the group.

Justice Adeniyi Onigbanjo of the Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja, on February 19, 2013, sentenced a former banker, Vera Ogbonna Akanni to nine years imprisonment for defrauding her bank customers various sums of money to the tune of N35,402,440.75.
The convict was prosecuted on an eight count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence and stealing by fraudulent conversion.
Prior to her sentencing, defence counsel, Yinka Oyeniji, drew the attention of the court to an affidavit of means placed before the court on February 17, 2013. Besides, Justice Onigbanjo asked the prosecution counsel, Oluwatoyin Owodunni, if the convict had any previous records of conviction.
Owodunni confirmed to the court that the convict did not have any such record. However, the prosecution counsel further addressed the court on the convict’s sentencing, saying that the offence for which she was tried attracts a punishment of between seven and twenty years imprisonment.
"My lord, this is money entrusted to the convict as a banker and an account officer. Her criminal conduct is not only a breach of trust but a heinous crime. This money belongs to innocent and unsuspecting members of the public", Owodunni submitted.
He, therefore, prayed the court that the convict be made to face the full wrath of the law. Justice Onigbanjo consequently sentenced the convict to 7 years imprisonment on two of the counts and 2 years imprisonment on two other counts effective from December 2, 2009 when she was first arrested. The sentence is to run concurrently.
Also, Justice Onigbanjo ordered the convict to make full restitution of the stolen money to the owners.
Arsene Wenger is looking to next season as he suggested Arsenal would again have to concentrate their efforts on finishing in the top four after the 3-1 home defeat to Bayern Munich.
Arsenal's hopes of ending a winning a first trophy since the 2005 FA Cup are all but over for another season after the first-leg defeat to Bayern on Tuesday, with the Gunners having already exited both domestic cups and fallen 21 points behind Premier League leaders Manchester United.
Wenger, who said a year ago that "the first trophy is to finish in the top four", has been forced to take the same tack this time around.
"Look, we'll have two battles but maybe the easier battle will be to be back in the Champions League," he told journalists after the Bayern defeat, adding that his team would "give everything" in the second leg but acknowledging it will "be extremely difficult against a team of that quality".
Wenger feels his players were "a bit nervous" in defence but dismissed a question about whether he would look to enter the transfer market to reinforce at the back.
"Is that an information [fact] or an opinion?! I just think that our defenders are quality, and the transfer market is closed," he said. "That's an information. Bayern is a quality side who can beat anybody in Europe. On top of that, we lack a bit of confidence at the moment. That makes them even better."
He added: "The quality of my players is there, but they're not getting their rewards. We're not being rewarded for our efforts. I still have confidence in my players and in my team but, on tonight's evidence, there's clearly work to be done."
Nerves, he said, were a significant issue, and he was tentative about when their confidence would return.
"That's a very difficult question to answer at the moment. The results bring that. It's a bit of a vicious circle."
Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud, meanwhile, attempted to put a brave face on Tuesday's defeat.
A second-half subsitute at the Emirates Stadium, Giroud, 26, might have given Arsene Wenger's side something to cling to ahead of their trip to Bavaria on March 13 had he been able to beat Manuel Neuer with a half-volley barely a minute after coming on. Instead, the Germany goalkeeper turned aside the forward's effort, and Mario Mandzukic afterwards made it 3-1.
"We kept in touch in the second half, but the third goal changed things," Giroud told beIN Sport. "Nothing's lost, but we now have to score three goals away from home. We know just how strong they are at the back, so it won't be easy. It's difficult to accept, but I think Bayern were better than us. We wanted to put in a good performance at home and not concede, but they were clinical in the first half."
While L'Equipe calculated only 2% of teams had ever over-turned such a first-leg deficit, Bayern's stats inside the Allianz Arena make for even less comfortable reading for Wenger's side. Neuer has conceded just nine goals in 14 league and Champions League encounters this season, while his team-mates have averaged three goals per game in that time.
After finding themselves 2-0 down within 21 minutes in the first leg, full-back Bacary Sagna, 30, knows Arsenal can ill afford such a slow start in the return leg.
"We took a long time to get into the game. They had too much space and, against a team of that quality, that's not something that will be forgiven," the France international told beIN Sport. "They put away the chances they created, and it hurts. We know what we have to do over there. It'll be a big game. We're going to prepare ourselves for that."
