The Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria has expressed concern over the worsening security situation across the country, calling on the Federal Government to take urgent and decisive steps to address the escalating wave of killings, kidnappings, terrorism and banditry.
In a statement issued by its Secretary-General, Nafiu Baba Ahmad, the Council lamented that Nigerians continue to wake up daily to reports of violent crimes despite repeated assurances from government officials that security challenges are being tackled.
According to the Council, the security crisis has reached an alarming level, with recent incidents in Borno State, Oyo State, Niger State and Zamfara State highlighting the vulnerability of communities already grappling with years of insecurity.
