John Joseph Hayab: Police Must Arrest All Involved In Zamfara Video Threatening Christians.
The Chairman of the Northern Christian Association, Reverend John Joseph Hayab, has called on the police to arrest and prosecute everyone involved in a viral video allegedly showing youths threatening to kill Christians in Zamfara State.
Speaking during an interview with Arise News on Thursday, Hayab commended the police for arresting a suspect linked to the video but insisted that everyone involved must face justice, regardless of their religious or ethnic background.
And it is another thing to follow every due process until justice is seen to have been done,” he said.
Hayab also commended the Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS) for handing the suspect over to the police. Police Must Investigate Everyone Involved Hayab urged the police to investigate everyone who allegedly participated in or supported the threats, warning against protecting suspects because of shared religious or regional identities. “If he causes harm to Christians today, he will eventually cause harm to you tomorrow, assuming you are thinking he is your brother,” he said. He also questioned claims that the video had been doctored, saying the suspect allegedly posted it on his Facebook page before removing it.
