Former
Vice President has condemned the latest intensification of violence by
terrorists in the country, questioning the rationale or purpose of such
mindless destruction of lives and property. He said he is even more
troubled by the fact that this is happening in the sacred month of
Ramadan, a period in which violence is forbidden by Allah.
Reacting to the latest attacks in Sokoto, Kano, Maiduguri, Zaria and
Damaturu in a statement by his media office in Abuja, the former Vice
President expressed outrage at the intensification of violence and
attacks on holy places such as mosques and churches during the month of
Ramadan or at any other time for that matter as absolutely indefensible.
These attacks, he said, are contrary to the known teachings of Islam
and other established religions, which place high premium on the
sanctity of life.
According to him, the latest attacks on Sokoto and the attempted
assassination of the Shehu of Borno and Borno State Deputy Governor were
completely counter-productive to the interest of peace in the country.
