 Salton of Sokoto, Mohamed Zad, Abu Bakar III has described those trying to divide Nigeria as Satan. He lamented that a few elites were sowing seeds of discord to create animosity among Nigerians. The Salton who spoke on Monday in Bachi during the commissioning of the ultra-modern Hajj camp urged Nigerians to continue to live in harmony and not allow some few elites to use them as tools for destruction. He also called for urgent actions by concerned authorities to restore the confidence of Nigerians. Former Vice President Atiku Abu Bakar has decried the spate of bloodletting in the country, saying there was no justification for the killings. Atiku was reacting to last Thursday's killing of 88 persons in Kebbi State, with scores of others still missing. In a statement on Monday in Abuja by his media office, the former vice president expressed deep concerns about how the activities of criminals had gone unchecked. He also expressed concerns over the depreciating value of human life in the country and how the citizenry have continued to absorb the shock. Atiku recalled that a boat mishap occurred in Kebbi State in which 100 people died a few days before the killing of the 88 persons. The former vice president expressed concerns about the negative activities which he said were stunting the nation's development as a democracy, cautioning that no nation can witness any meaningful growth in the midst of chaos.
