Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) National Headquarters’ received with shock and
\nbewilderment the cruel and rattled attacks on innocent people of Bama in
\nBorno State. However, more devastating and painful was the attack on Shehu
\nof Bama’s Palace, which was reported to have claimed about fourty (40)
\nlives, including the son of the Shehu of Bama, senior counsellors\/aids of
\nBama Emirate Council and properties worth over millions of naira destroyed
\nafter setting a substantial part of the palace on fire.<\/p>\n
It is quite unfortunate, regrettable and condemnable that, after the
\nunfortunate Konduga, Izge(Gwoza), Madagali massacres which should have
\nbeen the last in such attacks at these times, a more diabolical attack
\nwould be unleashed on innocent citizens of Bama in Borno State, and would
\ncontinue unabated for a number of hours. Indeed this is the peak of
\nbarbarism and lawlessness.<\/p>\n
Regrettably, while we are in mourning period praying to Allah (SWT)
\nfervently for consolation and waiting to see the measures that government
\nwill take for us to be overwhelmed, yet another catastrophic attack in
\nBama was reported. This sends a very negative impression to the discerning
\nmind about the state of affairs vis-a-vis security in Nigeria. This act
\ncannot be seen happening in any developed part of the world.<\/p>\n
JNI lament this sorry state of violence and insecurity in the strongest
\nterms, for the nation seems to be gradually sliding into lawlessness
\nleading to multiple losses of innocent lives. However, JNI sends its
\ncondolences to the Government and good people of Borno State as well as to
\nHis Royal Highness, the Shehu of Bama, Alhaji Kyari Ibn Umar El-Kanemi,
\nCON, over the unfortunate recurring attacks in Bama, on his family and the
\npalace in Bama, Borno State.<\/p>\n
JNI reiterates its several calls that rules of engagement should be
\nprofessionally employed by the Joint Task Force and other security
\nagencies in curbing insurgencies in Nigeria so as to reduce collateral
\ndamages recorded in such types of upheavals. The Federal Government must
\nbe seen doing something positive beyond lip assurances.
