The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, led Jama’atu Nasril Islam
on Monday in Kaduna raised the alarm that the Nigerian Army was out to
wipe out the entire Muslims in the name of fighting terrorism in the
land.
The JNI insisted that the Nigerian Muslims, especially in some Northern
parts of the country, were now considered an endangered species, expressing
concern over the dimension of extra-judicial killing of Muslims in
the country.
The Secretary-General of the JNI, Dr. Khalid Aliyu, in a statement
on behalf of the religious body in Kaduna on Monday also noted with
sadness the incident of Keana 15 in Narasarawa state where innocent Muslims
were mercilessly massacred.
According to the JNI, the various cases of massacre of Muslims by the
military in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states under the guise of fighting
terrorism were unacceptable.
The JNI said, “the dimension of extrajudicial killing of Muslims by the
military on unsubstantiated suspicion leaves much to be desired, which clearly
depicts that Muslims have become an endangered species, murdered and maimed
indiscriminately under the guise of fighting terrorism.
“We can say without any fear of contradiction that there is a grand
agenda to destabilise the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria. If any Nigerian is in doubt
regarding the hidden agenda to destabilise Muslims in Nigeria, and cautiously
reduce their rising human capital, then the Zamfara State incident should have
removed this doubt.
“An event where vigilance personnel working to restore peace would be
the subject of a grand massacre, tells much about the chaos and insecurity some
enemies want to push our states into. We call on all our governors, politicians
and indeed every well-meaning citizens to do something before it gets out of
hand.”
The group added, “where is the human rights compliance and rule of
engagement by the military personnel involved in maintaining peace and
security? Why are the defaulting military personnel not brought to book as a
deterrent?
“The military should know that it is extremely dangerous to polarise
security agencies along religious line. It will have far-reaching negative
effect on the country, especially at this material time, when the efforts of
all are required to cushion the effect of the pains we are passing through.
“JNI unequivocally condemns the extrajudicial killing of 15 Fulani
Muslims in Keana, the raping and subsequent killing of Binta Usman, the milk
maid and all the human rights abuses on innocent Muslims in Maidugri.
“We strongly call for the bringing to justice of the perpetrators of
transgression against innocent citizens who have the right to practise the
religion they choose.”
However, efforts to get the reaction of the Nigerian Army spokesman,
Maj.-Gen. Chris Olukolade, were unsuccessful as his telephone lines were not
reachable.
When a leader like the sultan makes a baseless asccusation,then it obvious that B/h is sponsored by them.The killings in Nassarawa and Benue by these strangers called herdsmen speaks volumes.Nigerians are becoming wise now.
ReplyDeleteWhere was the so called sultan when the fulani terrorists disguised as herdsmen used chemical weapons on mothers and babies ,where was he when Boko haram was bombing people in churches etc if not for the military whom you are now accusing do you think Boko Haram wouldn't v taken over your sultanate. Stop cry wolf on order to gain needless sympathy n give honour to whom its due. We v lost countless of our men as a result of the failure on the part of the northern leadership yet we are trying to restore order n you still can't appreciate that!
ReplyDeleteDon't mind d idiot when they re killing the christian and igbos he did not say anything. boko haram is turning ag you people.
ReplyDeleteThere is no unity in Nigeria! This man's statement has said it all. When the Islamist are killing christians n bombing churches y didnt he made this kinD of comments? Just bcos their aim on sponsoring boko haram is nt achieved he is now finding whom to accuse.he better shut up,bcos he has done nothing to the northerners.
ReplyDeleteThis so called Sultana or salt through their body Language we can affirm our belief that this bastards are pained because of the latest progress our military force have made in the recent assault against the Boka Haram and their aims are dashed to failure.can Nigerian see it that their earlier wolf cry that GEJ were not really not fighting their militant were never a genuin concern but looking for a way to indict GEJ to Genocide crime but thank God for his wisdom upon GEJ.of a truth some Northerners politicians are our problem in Nigeria.formally they said GEJ is weak today they say he is killing muslim instead of applauding our military.Sultan of sokoto we are disappointed you are part of the sponsores of this Boko Haram who have caused perpetual sorrow to our innocent families,at first you started killing igbos when you no longer see them you turned to church and you think the blood of the innocents will leave the North alone;I wish Government will permit so we go into war with you now and see where your power lies and till then we want your heads and your own will fall your heads idiots
ReplyDeleteTit for tat,Sultan stope complaining. Wht is the teaching of Mohammed?Kill many souls and Allah will help u go to heaven.
ReplyDeleteWhen churches were been burnt every sunday to the extent sunday services were no longer held where were you sultan? Na that 10 muslims die out of 1000 ghristians that have died u r opening ur mouth to talk. We can now see that this country can never be united as one bcos every body holds on to him self n members of his religion 4gting odas who r not calling dsame Lord and saviour

ReplyDeleteCan you imagine the suppose maintener of norms and Order is rather inciting the muslim against the christians pls the sultana are there no muslims in the west and how many has the soldiers killed to substantiate your claims.I suggest this maggot called sultan be called up for questions
ReplyDeleteDats d fact.
ReplyDeleteThe Sultan should watch his utterances so that he doesn't fall victim to the antics of the his blood-thirsty brothers.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Church at Madalla was bombed killing lots of Christians, causing permanent diability to others, you said nothing, you accused president of been a weak commander, now he has tightened his seat belt, ur complaining of muslims been d only target. Mind ur utterances for the day of reckoning is at hand. Tell the boko haram to surrender their weapons, else their lives on earth will be miserable
ReplyDeleteSultan so is painful right? U haven't seen anything yet this is the begaining talk to ur subjects (boko haram) to surrender or face the music enough is enough. This country belong to all not only muslims.
ReplyDeleteI cry for this present Nigeria,I wail for the children coming tomorrow.. What do we say to these innocent ones whose parents have been ripped violently from,even in their very own eyes? I cry for the nigeria we used to have,I fear for the nigeria that seems to come.

ReplyDeleteStrange ways people think, sultan kindly read through the trens of the killing and ask yourself who should be shouting wolf!
ReplyDeleteThe northern leaders should call the sultan to order. He should stop making inflamatory statements that will further ignite the country.
ReplyDeleteI smell revolution sooner,but I have one question,what if the christians had not been tollerant enough?
ReplyDeleteWht do u expect from a drunking master?
