The Nigerian SupremeCouncil for Islamic Affairs under the leadership of its President General andthe Sultan of Sokoto Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar 3 has condemnedlast Friday’s terrorist attacks in New Zealand.
The council’s DeputySecretary-General Salisu Shehu said, in a statement, that the attack by theAustralian citizen, Brenton Tarrant, on two mosques in Christchurch, NewZealand, as Muslims converged for the Friday’s Juma’at worship, remainscondemnable.
According to Shehu, inthe attack that was unprecedented in the annals of the country, at least 50Muslim worshipers across various nationalities were gunned down while more than40 others sustained varying degrees of injury.
He said that in allthese attacks and others, the religious identities of the perpetrators havealways been downplayed because they were Christians, but that if a criminal whohappens to bear a Muslim name is involved in a crime, his religion would bedragged into it.
