Jama’atu Nasril Islam, JNI, has
warned Muslim youths and other Northerners against reprisal over the ongoing
agitation in Abia State by Biafra group, IPOB.
JNI Secretary General, Dr Khalid
Abubakar Aliyu, in Kaduna on Friday called on Juma’at Mosque Imams across the
country, particularly in the North to preach peace in their Friday sermon.
Dr Khalid Abubakar Aliyu made the
plea at a press briefing with newsmen in Kaduna, urging Southeast leaders to
equally call on members of IPOB to stop attacking innocent Nigerians in their
region.
Dr Khalid Abubakar also urged
security agents to ensure they arrest and bring the perpetrators of the attacks
on Muslim Northerners to book.
“Nigerians need to take lessons
from crisis happening in other countries of the world. Violence will never be a
solution to any crisis. It’s also needless for any Nigerian to feel he is more
Nigerian than other Nigerians.
” We must learn to live together
in peace and harmony because we are bound by the constitution of this country.
JNI urged all juma’at Imams to preach peace in their sermons by calling for
peace and to urge people not to retaliate, ” he said.
The JNI also described the
attacks on Northerners in Abia state as pathetic, urging government and
security agencies to restore peace in the state.
He also urged media practitioners
to desist from reporting hate speeches and biased reports capable of inciting
people.
