The National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, the Vice Presidential Candidate of Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, called out Islamic cleric, Sheikh Yahaya Jingir,over inciting statements against Christians in the country.
NHRC, which expressed anger over the cleric’s declaration, on Tuesday,urged the Federal Government to immediately arrest and prosecute him for hate speech and incitement.
They also asked government to arrest the cleric and prosecute him to serve as a deterrent to other religious leaders in the habit of doing same.
It will be recalled that jingir had, in the presence of two governors in Kano last weekend, not only justified the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the 2027 elections, but also said Muslims should dominate Christians because they were more in number.
