The members who sources said, came to the area few days before the Ramadan do not believe in the Hadith but only what is contained in the holy Quran.

In order not cause apprehension among the people, the secretary of Kalgara Emirate council, Abdullahi Bala Kagara said, last week the emirate invited the leaders of the sect to a meetıng with the security agencies.

He said the emirate had sent learned Islamic scholars and leaders to clarify issues with the sect members on their mode of preaching in order not to cause any breach of security.

Accordıng to hım, “We are monitoring them and we have also brought this to the notice of all the security agencies. We have identified the leader of the sect as Abdulkadir Suwaba who has been residing in Pandogeri area of the emirate for years”.

  1. IT IS INDEED VERY ALARMING THE WAY AND MANNER WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE PROLIFIRATION OF VARIOUS ISLAMIC SECTS IN NIGERIA THE LEADERSHIP OF WHOM MOSTLY ARE NOT NIGERIANS. ONE WILL BE TEMPTED TO ASK, DO WE REALLY HAVE SECURITY AGENCIES IN THIS COUNTRY? OUR BOARDERS ARE SO POROUS THAT ALL MANNER OF CHARACTERS INGRESS AND EGRESS INTO OUR COUNTRY WITHOUT BEING CHECKED. I THINK OUR IMMIGRATION FORMATION NEED TO BE OVERHAUL BECAUSE IF THE OFFICERS AND MEN OF THE SERVICE ARE LEAVING UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES ALL THESE SECURITY CHALLENGES WE ARE HAVING WOULD`NT HAVE BEEN THERE. MAJIDADI ESQ.
