Following last Thursday’s bomb blast in Abuja, the nation’s capital, an Islamic group has called on the security agencies to ensure that the culprits are fished out once and for all to put an end to the re-occurrence ugly incidents.
The Islamic group, Muslim Right Concern (MURIC), through a statement signed by its Director, Is-haq Akintola in Ibadan on Sunday, maintained that the inability of the security agencies to identify and bring to book the perpetrators of the past incidents had emboldened the culprits to continue the dastardly act.
While insisting that the Nigerian security agencies should fish out the culprits of the last week bomb blast at the Nigeria Police Headquarters in Abuja, the group equally appealed to the Federal Government to immediately engage all groups and different shades of opinions in dialogue.
The group similarly advised the youth to shun violent propensities, reminding them that the future belongs to them and that it amount to insanity on their part to destroy that future by engaging in acts capable of paralysing the present.
Just last Thursday, the Nigeria Police Headquarters, Louis Edet House, was hit by powerful bomb explosion, during which human casualties yet to be confirmed and several vehicles were reportedly destroyed.
Expressing sadness over the grave development, the group noted that ‘’it is nonetheless the handiwork of disgruntled elements who have one or two grudges against the police’’.
It said, ‘’it is clear that this attack was aimed at the heart of the Police Force, thereby implying a desire for vengeance or a demonstration of dissatisfaction with certain operations of the Nigerian police’’.
MURIC, which condemned the violence outburst in its entirety, maintained that the time had come for Nigerians to realise that violence cannot solve the nation’s problems, and urged for dialogue as the ultimate panacea for resolving differences, saying, ‘’dialogue builds, violence destroys’’.
