Some days ago, Sahara Reporters filed a report about the killing of a well known man of God named Reverend Yohanna Shuaibu. This man was allegedly murdered by a Muslim mob in Massu, a village in Sumaila Local Government Area (LGA) of Kano State.
Having read several reports concerning the death of the Pastor, I think the federal government (FG) should arrest the Muslim mob who, not only allegedly killed him, but also razed down his church, house and mission school.
The question here is Why should FG arrest them?
The major reason why the Muslim attackers should get arrested is because Nigeria is not a country without laws. Judging by the country's laws, any group threatening the peace, order and tranquility of the country or her citizens should not be allowed to operate in any form. The act allegedly perpetrated by the Muslim mob should be condemned by the federal government. Nigeria's law does not condone anyone, regardless of their affiliations, to carry out unlawful acts in any nook or cranny of the country.
The Muslim mob need to know that Nigeria is a country that gives people freedom of practicing any religion whatsoever. When this freedom is trampled upon, those caught offending will adequately be dealt with. If at all there was anything the deceased man of God did that annoyed them, they have no right whatsoever to take law into their hands.
The second reason why the FG should arrest the Muslim mob is to halt a reoccurrence of the heinous act. If they don't get arrested, there's every possibility that they carry out the activity again with the thought that they will be spared.
