The Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar representing Islamic body, Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) has advised Muslims in the country to defend themselves against attacks by the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram.
Speaking on behalf of the JNI, the Sultan Alhaji Abubakar said it had become obvious that the Federal Government was incapable of dealing with the insurgents.
In a communiqué signed by the JNI’s Secretary-General, Khalid Abubakar-Aliyu, the Sultan read: “That Muslims are strongly urged to defend themselves, in appropriate manner against any attack by insurgents and all other acts of violence by criminals, as it is a religious obligation to do so, particularly that government forces currently seem to be incapable,”
Evaluating the government's efforts in halting the activities of insurgents, the Islamic body said the government had failed and was indeed incapable of tackling the Boko Haram members.
The communiqué was the outcome of a one-day stakeholders’ meeting on “the security situation in the country,” organised by the JNI.
