An Islamic organisation, Muslims Against Terror, has called on the
federal government to declare Fulani herdsmen involved in the killing of
farmers terrorists. This call was contained in a statement signed by the group’s leader, Ahmad Amadi Jnr. 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.”-Daily Post
