PRESS RELEASE:
MURIC CONDEMNS KILLINGS DURING CHRISTMAS CAROL
A lone shooter allegedly killed four
people and injured eight others in an attack on Friday night around the Nindem
village axis in Godogodo district, Jemaa Local Government Area of Kaduna State,
according to military spokesman for Operation Safe Haven, Colonel I. K.
Ekpeyong. The incident happened as the residents were holding a carol at the
community square at about 9 pm.
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) condemns this killing.
It is gruesome, barbaric and ungodly.
Nothing in the divine scriptures teaches the shedding of
human blood. In particular, people who are in devotion deserve special respect
no matter the venue chosen for such religious exercise.
We charge the security agencies to rise to the occasion
and bring the endless bloodbath in Kaduna State to an end.
In the meantime MURIC seizes the opportunity of the
yuletide to wish Nigerian Christians a Merry Christmas. It is our fervent wish
that the relationship between us and our Christian neighbours continues to
improve. We all need peace to go about our individual businesses. We therefore
extend a hand of friendship to our neighbours.
In our concluding remarks, we urge all citizens to pray
for Nigeria’s unity, political stability and economic buoyancy. We must also
pray for enduring peace and work consciously towards achieving it.
