A Muslim religious leader blamed the country's violence problems on Muslims who ignore their holy book teachings. Sheikh Umar Faruk Haruna serves as deputy chief imam at University of Benin. He spoke to reporters after special Eid prayers. The imam said Muslims create their rules instead of following God's commands. This behavior causes kidnapping and terrorist attacks across Nigeria.

Haruna explained that Islam teaches people to fear Allah and love peace. Muslims who abandon the Quran and Prophet Muhammad's lessons create dangerous situations. Criminal groups like Boko Haram operate from areas that should be the most religious. The imam pointed out that Muslim communities participate directly through banditry and violence. These problems will continue until believers return to their sacred texts.

The religious leader warned Muslims about buying animals for sacrifice through illegal money. People cannot hurt others or break laws just to purchase rams for religious holidays. Allah only accepts offerings bought with honest earnings. Haruna told Muslims worldwide to follow Islamic principles during their celebrations. The festival should promote good behavior rather than encourage forbidden activities.
