THE Council of Imams and Ulama in Kaduna has called on Muslims to toe the path of peaceful resolution of the lingering crisis in Southern Kaduna.
The council prayed for permanent peace in all parts of Nigeria, particularly in the North.
Addressing a press conference in Kaduna, the secretary-general of the council, Yusuf Yakubu Arrigasiyyu, said wanton killings of Muslims in Southern Kaduna must stop.
According to him, from the council’s findings, “It is clear that some individuals and groups in Southern Kaduna are good in inciting and propagating violence in the area in order to make cheap popularity and to achieve their political goals.”
He said the position of the council is that the only way peace could be restored in the troubled area is for the perpetrators of “this dastardly act” to be brought to book.
While condemning the recent “killing of 100 Muslims” in Zango Kataf, Arrigasiyyu lamented that the massacre was not reported in the media.
According to him, unless there is a balanced report of the happenings, Nigerians might not understand the situation.
To this end, he called on Christians to seek dialogue with their Muslim counterparts and also urged Muslims to resolve the lingering crisis through non-violent means.
Arrigasiyyu urged the state government to consider the recommendations of the panel it set up to probe the crisis.
“The security agents must be on their feet to protect the lives and property of peace-loving citizens of Nigeria without bias,” he added.
