The Muslim Media Watch Group of Nigeria has condemned the merciless killing of officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army in Delta State over-the-weekend and described the carnage as total madness.
The Group in a strongly-worded Press Statement released today commended Joint Task Force of 6th Division of the Nigerian Army headed by Major-General Jamal Abdulsalam for their gallantry in fulfilling their military mandate under which this terrible attack came on them.
The Statement signed by the National Coordinator of Group Mal. Abdullahi Ibrahim, warned on wicked and senseless attack on the Military and other Security Agencies in Nigeria by misguided criminals parading themselves as ethnic militia groups and involving themselves in terrible criminal activities like the one just recorded in Delta State.
The military intervention that unfortunate led to the ambush and killing of these gallant military officers and soldiers the Group said, was to bring peace and unity to warring Communities of Okuomo and Bomadi of Delta State.
The Muslim Media Watch Group of Nigeria therefore criticised Elders and Leaders of Okuama and Bomadi Communities of the State for their silence since the criminal attack and merciless killing of military officers occurred and called on the Military and other Security Agencies to fish-out the criminals that unleashed devilish attacks on the gallant soldiers who are struggling to protect lives and property of innocent people.
Meanwhile, the Muslim Media Watch Group has also called on Federal and State Governments to support NAFDAC in its efforts to rid Nigeria of production and sale of alcohol in sachets.
The Group noted that the uncontrolled and availability alcoholic drinks in sachets in the Country is one of the root causes of violent crimes being committed in the Nigeria Society by misguided youths and other criminals.
The Group warned the National Assembly Members to stop dabbling or meddling in the affairs of Public Sector Agencies that are operating under the mandate that set them up; stressing that the House of Representatives directives to NAFDAC to stop its raid of alcoholic drinks Manufacturing Industries and their Dealers was indeed unreasonable and called for; warning that not all issues should be politicised.
What is the benefit of tax gathered by the Government from production of intoxicants that are destroying the lives of of our youths; the Group queried.
MMWG finally appealed to NDLEA to intensify its operation and crack-down on drug-addicts and peddlers to rid Nigeria of undesirable elements.
