As Muslims all over the world complete Ramadan fasting and celebrate Eid-ul-fitr festival, Nigerians have been challenged to devise strategic means in various communities to complement government efforts at putting end to ritual killings.
The Asiwaju Musulumi Of Yorubaland, Edo and Delta, Dr Khamis Olatunde-Badmus made the call in his Sallah message released from his Media Office in Osogbo on Sunday on the occasion of Eid Fitr celebration.
Dr Olatunde-Badmus said it is unfortunate to observe that ritual killings is on the rise at a time many Nigerians appear to be worshipping God.
He asked Nigerians irrespective of faith to imbibe the lessons of Ramadan fast which teaches discipline, moderation, compassion, piet, humility and total submission to Allah.
“The teaching of Ramadan is not just about Islam, its about its significance in promoting a just, peaceful and United society”.
Dr Badmus also asked the authorities, particularly security agencies and judiciary to promptly prosecute and punish anyone caught in the despicable act in order to discourage others with such evil intentions.
The Muslim leader said “that anyone that thinks money ritual is real makes Nigeria lag behind among the comity of civilised nations “.
“Hardwork , creativity, focus ,persistence, patience and grace are some of the ingredients of success”. He said
He congratulated all Muslims in Nigeria, particularly in Southwest, Edo and Delta states on the occasion of Eid Fitr saying ” Ramadan has come to an end but the lessons of ” piety ,love , contentment, love for fellow human beings, spirit of giving, sharing and caring should be everlasting part of our beings “
