He stated: “As a nation, we must return back to Almighty Allah in repentance, prayers and sincere obedience. Unfortunately, many of our people are only busy looking for faults or frustrating genuine efforts of the security agencies for their personal political and economic gains.
“The children of Israel prayed to Allah to save them from Pharaoh, and He gave them Prophet Moses. But when they went astray and started complaining and refused to appreciate Allah, they were thrown into further hardship; our case must not be like these people."
The cleric stated that Allah must be appreciated for all the wonderful things he has done for the nation, adding that anyone who refused to give thanks to Allah after getting his or her requests granted can never be qualified to ask for another change.
“There is the urgent need for government to do more by providing security to institutions and public places, especially in the northeast, as part of security measures to prevent future occurrences," he added.
Yankuzu lauded the security agencies battling the insurgency in the northeast and urged Nigerians to assist them with relevant information.
