Renowned international Islamic scholar, Professor Muhammad Sani Umar Rijiyar Lemu, has decried the worsening insecurity in Nigeria, urging citizens to intensify prayers for divine intervention.
The cleric stressed that the primary responsibility of government—protecting the lives, wellbeing, and property of citizens—is being severely challenged by the activities of criminal elements across the country.
Professor Sani Umar made the remarks during the ongoing annual Ramadan Tafsir in Bauchi, where he noted that the security situation, particularly in Northern Nigeria, appears to be overwhelming the nation’s security architecture.
He called on the Muslim Ummah to take advantage of the holy month of Ramadan to pray fervently for Allah to end the menace of banditry and terrorism, which he said has made life increasingly difficult for many communities.
The scholar also commiserated with the Bauchi State Government and residents of Gwana District in Alkaleri Local Government Area over the recent attacks by bandits that forced some residents to flee to neighbouring Gombe State.
He urged Nigerians to cultivate the fear of Allah and refrain from acts that violate the teachings of Islam and the sanctity of human life, citing relevant verses from the Qur’an and Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to reinforce his message.
