The Jama’atu Nasril Islam has said that it has had enough of the killings of innocent people by unknown gunmen in the South East.
The JNI urged the the federal government to take care of the situation before its too late as they condemned the killing of a pregnant woman with her 4 children in Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The recurring heartless and calamitous unprovoked killings and maiming in Anambra and other parts of the country are condemnable” JNI stated.
“At the instance of its President-General, His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto Alhaji (Dr.) Muhammad Sa’adu Abubakar, the Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) condemns the senseless, barbaric and unprovoked killing of one Harira Jibrin; a pregnant woman with four of her children at Isulo in Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State.”
“JNI has painfully, with dismay been observing the orchestrated unchecked atrocities dished out to many innocent Muslim menial traders’ wares, including animals. The attitude, in effect, depicts the most unfortunate high level of hatred and impunity. The JNI feels that it was high time the governments acted lest things get out of hand,” the statement read.
“As it could be discerned, the killings are now transforming to being more religious and ethnic/tribal conflicts,” the statement reads.
“Their escalation may not be easily halted. Nigerians should learn from different historical accounts that, religious or ethnic conflicts and wars are undoubtedly extremely preposterous. So, they should by all means be avoided.
“The lexis of the so called unknown gunmen is no longer tenable. They are known but ignored!
“In light of the forgone, we call on governments at all levels to, as a matter of urgency, do everything possible and use any means possible to curtail the situation and arrest all those who are behind the ongoing killings in the south-eastern Nigeria, before it is too late.”
