In a
statement signed by the group’s leader, Ahmad Amadi Jnr an Islamic
organisation, Muslims Against Terror, has called on the federal government to
declare Fulani herdsmen involved in the killing of farmers terrorists.
According
to the statement, “We urge the government of Nigeria to condemn these wanton
acts firmly and declare the perpetrators terrorists and an insurgency according
to the law and deal with them with the full power of the military.”
The group
stressed that Islam forbids killing and teaches “that anyone who kills a human
being- it shall be as though he has killed all of the mankind; if anyone saves
a life, it shall be as though he has saved the lives of all mankind.”
Members of
the group also expressed sympathies to those affected by the cruel attacks of
the herdsmen.
“We
express our condolences and sympathize with the people of Benue, Enugu, Delta,
Anambra, etc. and government of Nigeria and the families of the victims killed
by the ‘Fulani herdsmen.’
“We stand
with the victims in solidarity during these difficult times. We pray for Allah
to expose the sponsors and the real perpetrators and they must face justice.”
