Kano, Niger Killings Criminal, Ungodly – JNI

Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) has described the killing of two persons in Kano and Niger states respectively by mobs over allegations of blasphemy as “criminal and ungodly.

The JNI’s Secretary General, Dr. Khalid Abubakar Aliyu disclosed this to news men in kano saying what happened in Wambai area of Kano, Kano State and Pandogari, Rafi local government area of Niger State stand condemned and “are regarded as criminal and ungodly, perpetrated by miscreants and criminals”.

According to JNI, “it is hardly believable that such dastardly acts could happen in the name of religion, considering the various enlightenment programmes on interfaith and mutual co-existence being put in place by the Muslim scholars and the leadership.”

“In the light of the above, we commend the various untiring efforts of the Kano and Niger states governments and also the Ulama’ in nipping in the bud, the unfortunate crises that would have engulfed both states. Likewise, the proactive measures of all the security agencies are also commendable and we implore that same be sustained”, said JNI.

While commiserating with Mr. Agbahime of Deeper Life Bible Church of Kano, over the death of his wife, Mrs. Bridget Agbahime as a result of injuries she sustained in the fracas that ensued between her and the hoodlums, JNI also commended the late Bridget’s husband for stating that his wife was not beheaded as reported by the media.

JNI called on all to remain calm and avoid all actions that could lead to the breach of law and order.

This is just as JNI called on Muslims to fervently pray for the restoration of peace and security in Nigeria.
