Bello Yabo, a popular Islamic preacher based in Sokoto State has prayed for the success of the terrorists who threatened to kidnap President Muhammadu Buhari and Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai.
The terrorists also threatened to abduct the Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.
Yabo, who said the prayer while reacting to Shehu’s comment on the terrorists’ threat, appealed to the kidnappers to release the innocent victims in their custody.
According to him him, the terrorists are free to kidnap Nigerian top leaders.
Yabo also berated Garba Shehu for simply describing the threat as prograpanda while accusing the Buhari’s spokesman of being insensitive to the unfortunate plight of kidnapped victims.
Daily Nigerian reports that Yabo prayed for Shehu to fall into the hands of the kidnappers, “I pray they kidnap you, Garba Shehu, and demonstrate as propaganda.”
“We are praying for you kidnappers. May God grant you success in carrying out your threats to kidnap those people. But please release the innocent people in captivity.
“If these were the kind of people you have been abducting all this while, we wouldn’t have bothered ourselves. We would instead pray and bless you because they have become a disaster [to us].
“These are people who promised heaven and earth, and now they have the opportunity but became incompetent. Take them to the bush and flog them, instead of humiliating innocent citizens who are striving to make ends meet.
“And please make good your threats, and we will support you with prayers.”
