Jos killings: NASFAT condemns violence

Category:

An Islamic organisation, Nasrul lahi-l-faith Society of Nigeria, on Thursday condemned last Saturday’s violence in Jos violence and the killing of innocent people in Dogo Nahawa community in Plateau State. 
In a statement sent through by e-mail by its National Secretary, Mr. Tajudeen Oduola, the group said from the police report, it showed that the incidence was a reprisal attack.
The statement reads, “It is our belief that revenge is not an act that should be encouraged in whatever form. 
“People should not be encouraged to take laws into their hands. Government is in place to protect the lives and property of all citizens irrespective of race, religion or ethnic background and we should all trust the government to do this without fear or favour.”
The group added that Islam considered life as sacred and that it should not be wasted in the manner as displayed by the March 7 while calling on the government to fish out the perpetrators and ensure that justice is done, the group advised security forces and intelligence operatives to be alive and pro-active in their efforts to combat violence.
