Muslims should unite to fight Insurgency.

The Sultan of Sokoto and leader of
Muslims in Nigeria, Alhaji Mohammed
Abubakar Sa’ad III, has challenged the
different Islamic sects in the country
to unite and fight insurgency.
He spoke while condemning the
suicide bomb blasts at the Kano
Central mosque saying “those behind
all the attacks are not muslims.”
“I do not believe those perpetrating
these are muslims because if they are
muslims they are not professing what
Islam teaches. In the world over it is
the duty and responsibility of
government to provide security for the
citizenry. This is the time for all the
various sects in Islam in this country
to rally round one another and bring to
an end insurgency in this country,”he
said.
In the Kano attacks allegedly
masterminded by members of the
Boko Haram Islamic sect, about 120
worshippers were said to have been
killed with many others seriously
wounded.
Speaking on Saturday in Abuja during
the Post-2014 Hajj Conference
organized by the National Hajj
Commission of Nigeria held at the
National Mosque, the Sultan lamented
the dastardly act.
According to him, it was time for all
stakeholders particularly the Federal
Government to rise up to the
responsibility with view to bringing to
an end insurgency in the country.
He also enjoined stakeholders to join
hands and end the problem of Boko
Haram in the country.
While speaking on the 2014 Hajj
operation, the Sultan who looked at the
entire challenges of the operation and
processes also called on stakeholders
to look at the situation and sustain the
tempo towards improvement in Hajj
operation in the years ahead.
