Northern of Imams in North-Central zone of Nigeria on Tuesday expressed support for amnesty for the Boko Haram sect to reduce the surge of violence in the northern region.
This is contained in a communique signed by the forum’s
Protem Chairman, Sheikh Umar Faruk. It urged the Federal Government to listen
to suggestions on the matter by drawing up amnesty for the sect members. The
league, however, condemned the killing of innocent people across the northern
region by members of the sect. It described the sect’s act as anti-Islam,
barbaric and counterproductive.
“The forum condemns all forms of violence and killing of
innocent souls across the country on daily basis by any group.’’
“No religion preaches manslaughter, bloodshed and killing
of fellow human beings on earth without recourse to court process.” The league
also called on the authorities to end the arbitrary arrest, intimidation and
extra-judicial killings of innocent religious leaders in its fight against the
insurgents.
It also wants the government to strengthen shari’ah legal
system and its institution, to ensure strict compliance to its provisions aimed
at curbing immorality in the society. The forum condemned indecent dressing by
some girls, unrestricted mixing of boys and girls in public and private schools
and called for better orientation for students and education administrators.
