31 December 2009

Abuja — Two Islamic groups, Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) and Assembly of Moslems in Nigeria (AMIN), yesterday condemned the botched attempt by a Nigerian lad, Mallam Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, to blow up a Delta Airlines aircraft in Detroit, United States on Christmas day, blaming acts of terrorism and all forms of extreme behavioural tendencies on what it described as the prevalence of injustice in various spheres of life.

Abass Braimah, asked the Federal Government to institute programmes aimed at checking terrorism in the country, saying given the involvement of a Nigerian in the attempted act of terrorism, the global threat might soon creep into the country to threaten lives and property.
