The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, has condemned the early Monday morning explosion at Nyanya park, Abuja, and called for collective efforts toward addressing insecurity in the country.
Abubakar made the remarks during the Central Council meeting of the Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) meeting on Monday in Kaduna.
The Sultan condemned the act, commiserated with families of the bereaved and prayed to God to grant eternal rest to the departed.
He said,"we never thought that such things will ever come to Nigeria some years back, but they are with us right now. It is left for us to wake up from our deep slumber and face the challenges. We condemn what happened this morning in Nyanya, Abuja, and we pray that almighty Allah will expose whoever is behind it and all other mayhem in this country fast.
The Sultan urged Nigerians to discard ethno-religious sentiments and strive toward promoting peaceful coexistence and harmony.
"All hands must be on deck to find a lasting solution to this problem. It is high time we put sentiments aside, sentiment of religion, sentiment of ethnicity and see how we can take our country out of these killings".
The Sultan, therefore, reiterated the commitment of religious and traditional leaders toward promoting peace, and urged governments at all levels to put more efforts toward addressing the security challenges facing the nation.
