Popular Sokoto-based Islamic scholar, Sheikh Muhammad Bello Yabo said cases of the Nigeira military bombing in the Northern region are too much for Northerners to bear.
Skeikh Yabo made his concern known in a video clip posted on the social media on Saturday.
His concern comes as a reaction to the bombing of during Maulud celebration at Tudun Biri village, Kaduna State by the military last Sunday night.
According to the Sokoto cleric, the northern region is bleeding following the bombing of the Kaduna villagers .
Yabo noted that most of the error bombings happened in the northern region without a single one occurring in the southern region.
He said, “It was not the first time the bombs were dropped on innocent people by security agencies, and they would claim it was a mistake. They once targeted IDPs in Borno. Same in Yobe, they also dropped a bomb in Nasarawa, and now it happened in Kaduna.
“Till date, the military has not made any error bombing in Southern or eastern parts of this country. It always happens in the north because of our lack of unity.
“North is bleeding, bandits kill us, hunger kills us, and the military that are supposed to protect us are also killing us. This is too much for us. Who do we report to if not Allah, and we are telling him to have mercy on us and protect us,” he said.
Shaikh Yabo also claimed that the killings persisted because the northern leaders were not united due to interests.
He further described the continuous detention of Kaduna-based publisher Tukur Mamu by the Nigerian government as complete injustice.
