When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan. - Proverbs 29:2
“And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and for the oppressed among men, women, and children…” - Qur’an 4:75
“Silence in the face of injustice is complicity with the oppressor.” - Ginetta Sagan
The abduction of students and teachers in Oyo State is another painful reminder that insecurity continues to rob innocent Nigerians of peace, safety and hope. Schools should be sanctuaries of learning, not grounds for fear and terror.
As an organization committed to justice, humanity and the protection of vulnerable people the world over, Brothers Across Nigeria Int’l strongly condemn every act of violence against innocent citizens of Nigeria. The safety of our children and educators must never become negotiable.
We call on the authorities to intensify efforts toward securing schools, ensuring accountability and protecting lives across Nigeria.
A nation cannot truly progress while its people live in fear.
Enough is enough.
