Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has described the Arewa as “civilised”, saying groups such as the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Oodua People’s Congress, OPC, should emulate them.
Gumi made the remark in a Facebook post on Sunday.
He wrote: “Arewa is civilised, IPOB and OPC if they still exist should take a lesson.”
Although the cleric did not elaborate on the comment, it came after the Eze Ndigbo in Kano State, Boniface Ndukwe, spoke about the long-standing relationship between the Igbo community and the people of Kano.
In a video sighted by our correspondent, Ndukwe said many Igbos have made Kano their home and invested heavily in the state.
“We’re no more Igbos in Kano State but Igbos of Kano State because a lot of our Igbo brothers are big-time billionaires and our investment in Kano State is over trillions of naira,” he said.
In another development, GISTSMATE MEDIA reports that the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has condemned the religious profiling of bandits as Muslims, insisting that criminals should not be identified with Islam.
In a statement issued on Saturday by his Chief Press Secretary, Ibrahim Alli, the monarch said bandits lacked the basic attributes that qualify an individual as a Muslim, stressing that wearing a turban or bearing an Arabic name does not make anyone a follower of Islam.
According to him, bandits neither observe the mandatory Islamic prayers nor exhibit the religious practices expected of Muslims.
He said, “I condemn in totality the religious profiling of bandits as Muslims. Real Muslims are not bandits. You cannot see a mosque in the den of bandits. The herdsmen don’t equally have mosques in their abode (Gaa). They have no identification of Muslims in all ramifications.” READ MORE
