     The Muslim Council in Adamawa State has petitioned  Governor Murtala Nyako to set up a judicial panel of enquiry to investigate the recent reprisal attacks in the state in which over 50 people were allegedly killed.

In a petition, the Muslim Council lamented that some people in reaction to what  happened in Mubi and Jimeta, launched reprisal attacks in Numan,Lamurde,Demsa, Girei and Guyuk Local Government Areas, killing over 50 Muslims and their livestock. The council added that mosques were also burnt in the process.

The group further lamented that while the state government assisted victims of the Jimeta church attack with N16 million, no government official visited the affected Muslim communities when they were attacked.

“The Muslim Council is worried that the government and those at the helm of affairs in the affected areas did not respond positively by providing relief materials to the victims, nor temporary settlement to the affected persons,’’ the group said.

The petition, which was signed by the council’s chairman, Alh.Muhammadu Shu’aibu Girei and its secretary, Muhammadu A.Kawu, asked security agents to make public the outcome of their investigations on the Mubi and Jimeta killings.

    When Christians die, It's either due to carelessness, selfishness or negligence but when a Muslim dies, every ISLAMIC council would want to get to the route of it and make sure He/she is Vindicated. Is this what they call JUSTICE or the oppression of Christians' right in Muslim dominated North? Yet, some stupid educated illitetrate will come out and say ONE-NIGERIA. Where has Religious tolerance disappered to? where is the fundermental human right of every citizen of the federal republic of Nigeria? This and many more questions yet to be answered!
