The recent abduction of over 200 schoolgirls and the several killings by Boko Haram in the country has been condemned by Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, MSSN, Lagos State Area Unit.
The association in strong terms denounced the general activities and operations of the acclaimed Jama’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-da’wa wal-Jihd popularly known as Boko Haram.
The Society in a press statement said it can’t understand the ascription of killings of innocent people in the name of religious conviction.
MSSN is a leading Islamic organisation in Nigeria and has been at the forefront of training and guiding Nigerian youths spiritually, academically and morally.
According to its Amir (President), Kaamil Kalejaiye, “The spate of unjustified killings in our
country is getting unbearable and Islam is always at the receiving end.”
Religion of peace
“We condemn these killings, abductions and all forms of attack on citizens.
We unequivocally condemn its perpetrators. Islam is a religion of peace and does not in any way have a confluence with killing, bombing, kidnapping and forcing people of other faiths into its fold.”
“If these were the methods used by Prophet Muhammed (SAW) to invite people to Islam, it would not have over one billion adherents worldwide.
Kalejaiye reiterated that the Boko Haram has never been and will never be an Islamic group as long as its modus operandi entails killing of innocent people.
He posited that the agenda of Boko Haram is only clear to its members and sponsors and prayed that sooner those behind it will be exposed.
“Those who are trying to paint Islam bad and black will meet their waterloo very soon,’ he prayed.
He, however called on the Federal Government and all security agencies to go the extra mile in
making sure that insecurity is brought to a bearable level if not totally eradicated.
He also advised that the photographs of the abducted girls be published so as to aid their search.
“This incident has demonstrated the barbarism in these group and the need for every one to take personal security serious as well as be vigilant. The use of modern security surveillance equipment we believe, will go a long way in foiling these heinous and dastardly acts”.
“We feel and share the pains parents of these future leaders are going through, we pray that almighty Allah protect them wherever they are and safeguard them back home.”
