Owing to the surging rate of suicide bombings in mosques in Northern states, the Borno Elders Forum, has urged residents to establish mosque guards, a practice which was done in the past.
Secretary of the Borno Elders Forum, Mali Gubio, on Friday, suggested a way of possibly averting increased bombings of mosques during prayers.
“It is sad that the Boko Haram fighters have continued to unleash terror on Muslim worshippers in the state. Residents must stand up and protect themselves by forming Mosque Guards in all areas to halt this madness.
“In the early stage of Islam, Mosque Guards were used to protect worshippers from aggression from idol worshippers. I think we must follow that by ensuring safety in our mosques.”
“Instead of facing the military in the bush, they decided to bomb innocent people praying in mosques.
“It is now clear that they are anti-Islam, they are only pretending to be Muslims, when their mission is to give the religion a bad name.”
