It’s Time For Muslims To Unite And Fight Insurgency – Sultan

sultanThe Sultan of Sokoto and President General, Nigerian Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs, NSCIA, Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar Sa’ad III, has challenged the different Islamic sects in the country to unite and fight insurgency.

He spoke while condemning Friday’s suicide bomb blasts at the Kano Central mosque saying “those behind all the attacks are not Muslims”.

“I do not believe those perpetrating these are Muslims because if they are Muslims they are not professing what Islam teaches. In the world over it is the duty and responsibility of government to provide security for the citizenry. This is the time for all the various sects in Islam in this country to rally round one another and bring to an end insurgency in this country”, he said.

Speaking on Saturday in Abuja during the Post-2014 Hajj Conference organized by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria held at the National Mosque, the Sultan decried the dastardly act.

According to him, it was time for all stakeholders particularly the Federal Government, to rise up to the responsibility with view to bringing to an end insurgency in the country.
