Owo Attack: Muslim Group Call on Government to Take Drastic Decision
Owo Attack: Muslim Group Call on Government to Take Drastic Decision
By: Michael Mike
The Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria (MUSWEN) has called on federal government to take drastic decisions on growing insecurity in the country.
This was contained in a press statement issued on Tuesday by MUSWEN’s Media Consultant, Femi Abbas who said the President of the association, Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo said any mere expression of sorrow and sympathy should be considered as “sheer meaningless pity without bringing the perpetrators to book.”
He said: “Thus, in this kind of demonic situation, MUSWEN calls on the Federal Government of Nigeria to, immediately, adopt the following steps for the purpose of solid security in the land: Restoration of effective death penalty for hardened criminals in our judicial system.”
Others step advised to be taken include: the enactment of an effective law with which to criminalize the carriage and wielding of guns or any other dangerous weapon in public without adequately authoritative licensing; regulating and controlling the freedom of Nigerian uniformed security personnel in using weapons, unnecessarily, in civil areas of the society; criminalizing illicit films, on the social media, to wean up growing kids and lasses from the ladle of satanic machinations; re-orientating the so-called Human Rights activists who, invariably, operate with the tendency to protect criminals rather than innocent citizens.

The association also called for the establishment of State and Local Government Police for the purpose of maintaining law and order as well as that of settling rural crises which are capable of engendering societal disturbances.
The statement said: “If all these are genuinely and effectively backed up with enforceable laws, the rate of crimes in Nigeria will surely be reduced to the barest minimum.”
The statement further read that: “While MUSWEN is fervently convinced that no amount of condolences can bring the massacred people back to life, it nevertheless, prays for the repose of the souls of those murdered callously in the tragedy, as much as it prays for Allah’s adequate fortitude to enable their relatives continue to cope with life after their demise.”
MUSWEN also called on all religious bodies to specifically pray for a formidable protection for our country and her citizens against the crushing claws of Satanic forces.

Troops of 68 Battalion, Mallam Fatori, have recovered one AK-47 rifle and 31 rounds of ammunition during an operation against suspected ISWAP elements in Abadam Local Government Area of Borno State.
Security sources said the incident occurred at about 9:07 a.m. on June 11 when troops observed the movement of two ISWAP reconnaissance teams ahead of their defensive area of responsibility.
According to the sources, an ambush team was immediately deployed to flank the suspected terrorists, but the insurgents fled upon sighting the troops and opened fire while escaping.
Following an exploitation of the area, troops recovered one AK-47 rifle and 31 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition.
The sources added that follow-up operations were ongoing to track the fleeing terrorists and deny them freedom of movement within the general area.
Military authorities said the operation was part of sustained efforts to disrupt terrorist reconnaissance activities and strengthen security across the Lake Chad axis.
They reaffirmed commitment to maintaining pressure on insurgent groups until they are fully degraded.
