The Management of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC has been asked by the Jama’atu Nasril Islam,JNI, to stop mixing males and females corps members in its daily physical exercise at orientation camps as it violates Islamic tenets and offends the sensibilities of Muslims.

The Secretary General of the society, Alhaji Dr. Khalid Abubakar, made the call on Wednesday during a Peace and Unity Conference for Muslims in Kaduna state.

Abubakar called on the NYSC to respect the decency and chastity of female corps members during physical exercises and other activities at the orientation camps, and provide alternative camps for female Muslim corps members.

JNI also noted that the refusal of the federal government to institute a judicial process of inquiry tO prosecute those arrested or accused of perpetrating violence in the country was an indication of an insensitive leadership , adding that the attacks and displacement of Muslims in Borno, Taraba and Plateau states have continued unabated as a result of government’s inaction.

The statement accused the federal government and the affected state governments of showing indifference and nonchalant attitude towards settling and rehabilitating displaced Muslim communities in Tafawa Balewa, Bauchi State and Zonkwa, Kaduna state.

The statement further accused the government and the media of playing double standards in ascribing terrorism to Islam.

It also blamed the media for exonerating other religious bodies from such criminality, adding that Muslims are being marginalised in almost all strategic government establishments, organisations and institutions in the country.
