“My heart is heavy. How did we get here? How did we lose our sense of humanity? Innocent travelers, simply on their way to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, were hijacked and unalived in Edo State”, he wrote.
The footballer emphasised that the tragedy should not be viewed through the lens of tribe, religion, or background but as a loss of innocent human lives.
“This isn’t about tribe, religion, or background—this is about human lives! When did we become so desensitized to pain? Where is our compassion? Where is our sympathy? We cannot allow this kind of evil to become our new normal. Every life matters.”
He concluded his message by praying for the victims and their families, urging Nigerians to prioritise humanity above all else.
“May their souls rest in peace. May their families find strength. And may we, as a people, remember that humanity comes first.”
Musa’s post has sparked widespread reactions, with many Nigerians echoing his sentiments and calling for improved security measures to prevent further tragedies.
