Muslim youth in Ngororero District have been asked to stay away from any unlawful acts and volunteer information on suspected criminals to the security for investigations, arrests, and prosecution
The call was made by the Mayor of Ngororero Ndayambaje Godefroid on January 6, during a meeting with over 100 Muslim youth, held in Kabaya Sector.
The meeting, which was also attended by the District Police Commander, Senior Supt. Marc Gasangwa, was organised by the Islamic community in Ngororero to sensitize the Muslim youth against lawlessness and encourage them to join efforts with others in the country's social economic transformation.
The Mayor challenged them to shun all activities that may lead them into conflict with the law, but rather work with security organs and local leaders to promote peace and and stability in their communities.
“You should not only refrain from crime but play a central role in raising awareness among your peers to desist from any criminal tendencies, report drug dealers and all illegal acts,” said Mayor Ndayambaje.
He also urged them to focus on their education, support their family and community development activities.
Supt. Gasangwa on his part, observed that the youth between the ages of 18-30 are the majority involved in unlawful acts such as dealing in narcotic drugs and consumption.
He said the youth today should be more pre-occupied by devising means of coming together in development activities, other than indulging in crime.
“Your efforts and energies should be complimenting government efforts to transform the country” the DPC said.
Husein Guramu, the head of the Muslim community in Ngororero reiterated the benefits of promoting peace and unity and said Islam means peace and total submission to God.
The Imam thanked authorities for the prevailing peace and security and freedom of worship accorded to all believers.
He added that as Muslim leaders, they strive to educate their young group the national values to transform them into a focused and patriotic generation.
