The recent killings in Barkin Ladi Local Government Plateau State has left bitter taste in the mouth of Nigerians. However, the action of Imam Muhammed will no doubt be a soothing balm that there is hope for the unity of the Abrahamic faiths. His name is now mentioned with adulation on social media. What did he do?
Imam Muhammed did not allow himself to be blinded by religious barrier. He simply protected Christians from killer herdsmen by hidding them inside the town’s Central mosque.
Sympathy and empathy are some of the morals taught by world religions. Those whose practice are otherwise are just heretics.
