The Muslim Congress has appealed to the Federal Government to intensify efforts to end terrorism in the country.
The president of the group, Dr. Lukman AbdurRaheem, said this in a press statement to condemned the suicide attack that led to the death of about 50 Muslims in Mubi, Adamawa State on Monday.
AbdurRaheem explained that the recent attack should spur security agencies to fight terrorism in Nigeria wholistically without attaching religion to it.
While commending the efforts of the Nigeria security agencies in the fight against terrorism, he urged the Federal Government to beef up security in religious centres.
The immediate past chairman of Nigeria Inter-religious Council, Lagos chapter said, “We condemn unequivocally the dastardly bombing of worshippers in the mosque by the forces of evil called Boko Haram. We empathise with the people of Mubi, Adamawa State at this trying moment.
“We implore the Federal and State Governments to beef up security of lives and property.
“The bombing of Muslims in the mosque on Monday while praying has further justified the position that Boko Haram members are not fighting an islamic agenda. What is playing out is the phenomenon of Muslim Identity Theft.”
