Gov. Bello Matawalle of Zamfara
State has called on the people of the state, especially Muslims, to pray to
Allah to bring his wrath on those abusing the Holy Qur’an.
Matawalle made the call on Monday
in Gusau at the opening of the state chapter of the 2019 Qur’anic recitation
competition (Musabaka).
“This prayer is necessary because
the perpetrators are committing a high level of immorality and their
provocation and sin can cause a lot of problem to us as citizens, so we should
pray so that Allah’s punishment will not affect the innocent.
“At our level as a government, l
have set up an investigative committee and anyone found to have had a hand in
it however highly placed in the society, will be punished as prescribed by the
Islamic law,” he said.
The Governor warned that his
administration would not condone any form of unwholesome act in the State and
directed security agents to be more vigilant in order to bring people behind
such acts to book.
Speaking on the Qur’anic
recitation competition, Matawalle said the State Government had set up a
credible organising committee and had given the members adequate logistics for
a smooth and successful outing.
He urged members of the committee
to be fair in the discharge of the responsibility, NAN reports.
“You know this is not just
something you will do as business as usual but an affair that touches on both
your worldly life and the one after death, so do it with the utmost fear of
Allah in mind,” he said.
