The government and relevant stakeholders have been charged to address the issue of killings, banditry, kidnapping, ritualism and other wicked activities across the country.
This is just as Nigerians were implored to promote peaceful co-existence and unite to eradicate unnecessary killings through banditry, kidnapping and ritual engagements.
The Asiwaju Musulumi of Yorubaland, including Edo and Delta, Dr Khamis Olatunde-Badmus stated this in Osogbo in his message on the occasion of 2021 Eid-el-Kabir.
Olatunde-Badmus said Nigerians should endeavor to protect the sanctity of life as Allah has demonstrated in the Holy Quran by replacing prophet Ismaheel with a ram to be sacrificed by the father of faith, Prophet Ibrahim.
According to the business tycoon, this gesture goes to emphasises that the life of all human beings is cherished by Allah and must be protected by the government and the governed.
He said unnecessary taking of innocent lives invokes the anger of the creator and causes disruption in the land.
The Asiwaju Musulumi said Muslims should not only use the occasion of Eid-el-Kabir for celebration but also see it as a time of sober reflection on ways to pray to Allah to make Nigeria a better nation.
He charged Muslims to inculcate the lessons of faithfulness, fulfilment of pledges, humility, and absolute trust in Allah as obtainable from the story of Prophet Ibrahim and his son, Prophet Ismaheel.
