“This happens when we have in government people who think they are capable but play politics with people’s lives.
“From Ibarapa to Shasha, Iwo Road, Idi Ape and other places not reported. May Allah have mercy on my brother and other deserving servants of Allah killed in these avoidable killings.
“May Allah take our rights from this nonchalant government and give them to us.”
