| Sultan of Sokoto, Saad Abubakar |
The Jama’atu Nasril Islam, JNI, has strongly criticised the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria over a statement by the latter’s spokesperson.
The JNI is a coalition of most Islamic organisations, mainly in Northern Nigeria. It is headed by the Sultan of Sokoto, Saad Abubakar. It was replying to a press conference by the CAN scribe, Musa Asake.
Mr. Asake had condemned the government’s poor handling of the Benue violence believed to have been perpetrated by Fulani herdsmen.
The JNI, in a statement by its secretary, Khalid Aliyu, accused Mr. Asake of trying to smear Islam and Muslims. It said it is opposed to all kinds of violence irrespective of the identity of the perpetrators and the victims.
