The Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi Foundation has condemned Saturday’s attack on the Tijjaniyyah disciples.
The foundation said their members do not take laws into their hands and therefore will watch and see what the government will do to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The chairman of the foundation, Sayyadi Ibrahim Sheikh Dahiru, said in a statement issued on Saturday that many people had travelled to Bauchi from Kwara, Kogi, Ekiti and other parts of the country for the Muharram prayers.
Ibrahim described as “worrisome” the gruesome murder of their members.
“Unfortunately, the government cannot guarantee the security of innocent citizens travelling to other parts of the country peacefully,” he said.
He prayed to Allah to forgive the deceased and give their families the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
