Jama’atu Nasril Islam, JNI, the apex Muslim organization in Nigeria led by the Sultan of Sokoto, said any government that is incapable of protecting the lives of its citizens has lost the moral justification of being there in the first place.
The JNI said in Islam and by all global standards, the essence of
government and governance is solely to protect the five principal
cardinal rights of the human race, the most important of which is life.
Secretary-General of JNI, Dr. Khalid Abubakar Aliyu, disclosed this on
Monday in a statement captioned ‘ Passengers’ bound train attack along
Abuja-Kaduna rail track,’ adding that JNI is agonized and short of words
to express itself over the gory incident of the infamous train attack
which happened on Monday, 28th March, 2022.
JNI said the well-orchestrated incident remains highly condemnable,
reprehensible and upsetting to every rational mind and added that it
appears that Nigeria is more or less heading to an unknown destination
of multiple cum well-coordinated serial chaos attributable to lack of
coordination and synergy from security personnel.
It said it is high time the security outfits are directed to ransack the
enclaves of all criminal elements and deal with them decisively,
including informants who should not be spared, as they are more
dangerous than the killers and should be made to face the right
punishment befitting their crime, while the intelligence community
should beef-up their efforts in trying to dig to the root of the phenomena.
