DISTURBED by the incessant spate of hostage taking, cattle rustling and other crimes in the country, the former Military Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, has prayed for it to come to an end.
Abubakar prayed at Minna Eid prayer ground on Friday after joining hundreds of Muslims to say two rakkat prayers as part of the activities to mark the festival of ed-el-Fitri.
“I do hope all human beings will take the lesson of the fasting period to serve God and be each others keeper and also to maintain peace all over the world.
“I hope peace will reign in Nigeria so that these problems we are going through, kidnapping, hostage taking, cattle rustling will come to an end.”
The General challenged Nigerians to continue to live in peace with one another for the socio-economic development of the country.
Also speaking after the prayer, the Acting Governor of Niger State, Ahmed Ketso, charged Nigerians to remain peacefully united and show commitment to our dear country Nigeria.
The ed-el- Fitri festival was marked under a very peaceful atmosphere in Minna the Niger state capital on Friday. – Punch
