President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday said nowhere in any holy teaching does scripture sanction the taking of human life or engagement in criminal violence.
He stated this when he performed the Eid-el-Kabir congregational prayers at Dodan Barracks in Lagos.
According to a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President described the occasion as a profound reminder of obedience, sacrifice, love for humanity and total submission to the will of Allah, as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim.
He also used the occasion to call on Nigerians to shun banditry, ethnic hatred and discrimination.
