  "account": "Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna Central senator, has expressed deep disappointment over the lack of public outrage following a reported attack on a mosque in Zamfara State. The assault, which occurred during the early morning Subhi prayer in Kaura town, resulted in the death of one worshipper, Nasiru Sani Kaura, and the abduction of several others. The incident was reported by security alert platform Bakatsine on X.\n\nReacting to the incident, Sani took to Facebook to question the silence surrounding the attack. He expressed disbelief that no one was condemning or cursing the perpetrators for their \"genocide\" and wondered why the story was being ignored. Sani also questioned the religious identity of the attackers, stating, \"What is the religion of these bandits if they have any?\"\n\nFurthermore, Sani expressed concern over the prevalence of violence, asking, \"Have we all run out of anger or run out of tears?\" He urged Nigerians to acknowledge bandits and terrorists as a shared threat, regardless of their religious affiliation, and advised them to begin recognizing these groups as common evils to all.\n\nIn conclusion, Shehu Sani condemned the silence over the killing and abduction of worshippers in Zamfara State, urging the public to recognize the threat posed by bandits and terrorists.",
