Title: Maiduguri Attack: Shettima Prays for Divine Justice Against Perpetrators Date Published: 18 March 2026 Description: Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has condemned the recent terror attacks in Maiduguri, invoking divine justice against those responsible and praying that they be guided or wiped out if they refuse to change their ways.Speaking at the closing of the Annual Ramadan Tafsir at the State House Mosque in Abuja, Shettima expressed deep sorrow over the killing of 25 people in multiple explosions across Maiduguri on Monday.He prayed for the victims, asking Almighty Allah to grant them eternal rest and admit them into Aljannah Firdaus, while also giving their families the strength to bear the loss.“May Allah bring this madness to an end. No religion sanctions the killing of the innocent. Whatever is motivating them, may Allah either guide them onto the right path or vanish them from the surface of the earth,” the Vice President said.Shettima stressed that the sanctity of human life is upheld by all major religions, noting that violence against innocent people has no moral or spiritual justification.He also urged Nigerians to continue praying for the nation and for the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, asking God to grant its leadership wisdom, courage, and fairness in governance.Reflecting on the significance of Ramadan, the Vice President reminded Muslim faithful that positions of power are temporary and that true value lies in character, accountability, and service to humanity.“In the presence of Allah, the distance between the mighty and the unknown disappears. What remains is what we have done with the trust placed in our hands,” he said.He encouraged Nigerians to sustain the lessons of Ramadan beyond the holy month, urging leaders and citizens alike to embrace humility, compassion, and responsibility in their daily lives.Shettima also paid tribute to the Chief Imam of the State House Mosque, Sheikh Abdulwaheed Suleiman Abubakar, for his role in guiding the Tafsir, while prayers were offered for peace, national development, and the success of government policies.
