Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has condemned the apparent silence surrounding the reported attack on a mosque in Zamfara State, where bandits allegedly killed and abducted Muslim worshippers.
Sani, in a Facebook post on Sunday, expressed concern over what he described as a lack of public outrage and condemnation of the attack, asking why the incident seemed to be receiving little attention.
“Why is it that no one is condemning or cursing the bandits for their genocide? Why is it that everyone is ignoring this story?” he asked.
The former lawmaker also questioned the religious identity of the perpetrators, wondering whether they had any religion at all.
“What is the religion of these bandits if they have any?” he queried.
Expressing anguish over the killings and abductions, Sani asked whether Nigerians had become emotionally exhausted by the persistent violence.
“Have we all run out of anger or run out of tears?” he asked.
He urged Nigerians to recognise bandits and terrorists as a common threat to all, regardless of religious affiliation.
“Can we now begin to reason that bandits and terrorists are common evils to us all?” Sani added.
