Many Muslim faithfuls have been reacting to this disheartening and gruesome act. The Chief Missioner of Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fatih Society, NASFAT, Imam AbdulAzeez Mahruf Onike lamented bitterly on the incident as he further asked the government at all levels to be on top of their game as the security of lives and property continue to deteriorate every day in the country. It’s very worrisome.
In the same vein, the Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fatih Society, NASFAT President, Mr. Olaniyi Mumin Yusuf called on the people involve in such activities to reconsider their thought, because of Almighty Allah, The Creator of them and the souls they are wasting, to kindly desist from it, as it’s very inhuman, shedding blood of fellow human beings, there’s no moral justification for it.
