Plateau Killings: SCSN Demands Action, Says “Enough of Condemnation”

By Nura Ahmad
The Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria (SCSN) has strongly condemned the recent killing of innocent citizens in Angwan Rukuba, Jos, Plateau State, describing the incident as tragic and unacceptable.

In a press statement issued on April 1, 2026, and signed by its Secretary General, Nafiu Baba Ahmad, the Council expressed deep outrage over the attack and called on authorities to move beyond routine condemnations to decisive action.

The Council noted that the repeated cycle of violence followed by mere statements from authorities has become insufficient, stressing that the protection of lives and property remains the primary responsibility of government at all levels.

SCSN emphasized that Islam upholds the sanctity of human life, regardless of religious or ethnic background, warning that the unlawful killing of any individual is a grave offence both morally and spiritually.

The Council further described the Angwan Rukuba attack as a likely premeditated and coordinated act aimed at triggering wider religious and communal conflict in an already fragile environment. It raised concerns about the involvement of well-funded groups, including possible foreign elements, in fueling violence through the proliferation of arms and support for violent networks.

According to the statement, such actors exploit Nigeria’s socio-religious differences to weaken national unity and sustain instability for ulterior motives. It urged the government to identify and decisively deal with both external sponsors and local collaborators through intelligence-driven operations and regional cooperation.

SCSN also expressed concern over the worsening insecurity in parts of northern Nigeria, particularly the North-East and North-West, where communities continue to face insurgency, banditry, and mass killings. It paid tribute to security personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty, noting that their sacrifices must not be in vain.

The Council extended condolences to the government and people of Plateau State, as well as families of victims, praying for strength and comfort in their time of grief.
It called on religious leaders across all faiths to promote peace, restraint, and mutual understanding among their followers, while urging citizens to speak out against individuals or groups inciting violence.

The Council also advocated for a thorough and impartial investigation into the incident, stressing the need for security agencies to act professionally and ensure justice is served.

SCSN concluded by urging Nigerians to remain law-abiding, vigilant, and united against forces seeking to divide the country, warning that the nation must not continue on the current path of violence.

“The time for decisive action is now,” the statement added.
