The Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria (SCSN) has strongly condemned the brutal murder of 12 Muslim travellers from Kaduna State, who were ambushed and killed while returning from a wedding in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State on Saturday.

The Council described the killings as “barbaric, inhuman, and uncivilised.”

In a statement issued on Sunday by its Kaduna State Secretary, AbdurRahman Hassan, the Council decried what it called a recurring pattern of targeted attacks on Muslims in Plateau, labeling the state a hotbed for religious and ethnic violence.

“This latest bloodbath is one too many.

“From the Du Pond massacre to the killing of Major General Idris Alkali (retd), Plateau has seen coordinated violence against innocent Muslim travellers.

‘It’s a chilling reminder that Muslim lives are still treated as expendable,” the statement said.

The SCSN demanded that Plateau State authorities swiftly identify and prosecute those responsible, warning that delays in justice would only inflame tensions.

“We demand the immediate arrest and prosecution of the killers. Enough is enough,” the Council declared.

In addition to urging prompt justice, the SCSN called on the Kaduna State Government to take stronger action.

It encouraged the state to seek legal redress, including diyyah (blood money) for the victims’ families and compensation for the injured, even if it means suing the Plateau State Government.

“We appreciate Kaduna’s swift response, but rhetoric alone isn’t enough.

” Justice and reparations must follow,” the Council said.

The Council also criticized what it called “fire-brigade responses” from Plateau officials and demanded that the root causes of the violence — which has spanned decades and claimed thousands of lives—be addressed sincerely and decisively.

“The peace of Plateau cannot be built on the graves of the innocent. True reconciliation begins with justice,” the statement added.

While urging Kaduna residents to remain calm and law-abiding, the Council issued a strong warning : continued provocations without accountability could trigger dangerous consequences.

“We urge restraint, but patience has limits. Let no one mistake our civility for weakness,” the Council warned.

They offered prayers for the victims and called for urgent national attention to what they described as a “slow genocide of Muslims” in Plateau State.

The attack has sparked widespread outrage across Northern Nigeria, with religious and civil society groups demanding immediate action from security agencies to prevent further bloodshed.
