Muslim group hails El Rufai over ban on Shi’ite in Kaduna

Renowned Islamic Organisation, Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’a Wa Iqamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS) has hailed Governor Malam Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State for

banning the activities of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) popularly known as Shi’ite under the leadership of Sheikh Yaqub El-Zakzaky.

The national chairman of JIBWIS, Sheikh Abdullahi Bala Lau, who made this remark in Abuja while speaking with newsmen, said the action taken by the governor was in the best interest of Islamic Religion and the entire state.

He noted that the group’s action “in making blasphemous and negative remarks against some of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Households and his companions is against the Islamic Religion and peace of the nation.”

“We actually commend the decision taken by the Kaduna State Governor Malam Nasir el-Rufai, this is a good step to clean Islam from the hypocrites, who call themselves Muslims but are not practicing the correct teaching of the religion.

“We also appeal to the entire governors of the nation to do the same.

“We also appeal to all Muslims like Tijjaniyya and Qadiriyya to join our hands together behind the governor to make sure this country remain peacefully. Our scholars will continue to preach by calling them (Shi’ite) to the right path,” he said.
