The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar is very angry and has frowned at the killings in Benue State. He said “enough is enough.”

The Sultan in a statement issued by the Secretary-General of the Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), Professor Khalid Abubakar Aliyu, titled “Time to rise beyond lamentations as Benue bleeds again” said:

“Enough is enough. Our collective silence or indifference may only serve to embolden the enemies of peace and national unity in Nigeria.”

“JNI prays to Almighty Allah to console the victims’ families, and restore lasting peace and tranquility in Benue State and the entire country.”

“As we mourn with Benue State, let this serve as a moment of national reflection. Let us shun divisive narratives and rise as one humanity to say ‘No More’ to senseless killings, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or political inclination! Human life remains sacred and must be treated as such, as we have repeatedly stated.”

“We also commiserate with the government and the good people of Benue State over the monumental tragedy. Indeed, no sane society should normalise such carnage.”
