An Islamic scholar in Sokoto State named Bello Yabo has revealed that he is praying that bandits kidnap the Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.
The prayer is a reaction to Shehu's recent comments on the threat by terrorists who are holding passengers of the Abuja-Kaduna train captive.
In a viral video, the abductors had issued a direct message to some of the nation's prominent citizens, including the president, something Shehu described as a "terrorist activity using propaganda and the use of violence to force governments to accept or submit to political demands is not new all over the world."
Daily Nigerian reports that Yabo who was displeased with the remark slammed Shehu and said that he was insensitive to the plight of those kidnapped.
He also prayed that the bandits succeed in kidnapping the president's assistant.
“I pray they kidnap you, Garba Shehu, and demonstrate it as propaganda.”
“We are praying for you kidnappers. May God grant you success in carrying out your threats to kidnap those people. But please release the innocent people in captivity.
“If these were the kind of people you have been abducting all this while, we wouldn’t have bothered ourselves. We would instead pray and bless you because they have become a disaster [to us].
“These are people who promised heaven and earth, and now they have the opportunity but became incompetent. Take them to the bush and flog them, instead of humiliating innocent citizens who are striving to make ends meet.
“And please make good your threats, and we will support you with prayers."
