Stop Tagging Us To Iwo Ritual Killings, Investigate To Nab Culprits – Group Tells Police
By G9ija
The Organization of Iwoland Muslims for Societal Responsibilities has challenged the security agents in Osun state to expose the perpetrators of ritual killings in Iwo Town.
At a news conference held at the Iwo Central Mosque on Sunday, the group made this demand.
It stated that killing for ritual purposes henceforth should not be associated with Muslim clerics in the community in a communique signed by its Secretary, Sheikh Musakalimullah Abdlhadi, but read by Dr. Abdulaziz Bello. The group also added that a true believer would not engage in such activities.
The communique further read, “The organisation frowns at, and condemns the rampant and incessant act of ritual killings in Iwoland. We also frown on associating the evil act of the ritual killings with the Muslim clerics in Iwoland.
“The Organisation, therefore, calls on the security agencies to double their efforts in searching for the perpetrators of past incidences. The security agencies are by this release called upon to ensure that the identities of perpetrators are disclosed whenever any of such are caught and that they are brought to book, no matter how high in status, including any Islamic clerics involved.
“Members of the communities are also enjoined to work and cooperate with the security agencies in curbing this menace, by alerting the relevant authorities whenever any evil acts or evil men are suspected around.”
