The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has expressed anger over calls for the Department of State Services to invite the Communications Minister, Ali Pantami for questioning over his comments on terror groups by the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Samson Ayokunle.
NSCIA said forgetting the cordial relationship and mutual understanding and trust that exist between Christian and Muslim leaders in the Nigerian Inter-Religious Council (NIREC), the President of CAN, jumped “into the frontline of the unreasonable ones, asking the Department of State Services to go after Pantami.”
A statement by Prof. Salisu Shehu, the Deputy Secretary-General of the NSCIA, said the body under the leadership of the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Saad Abubakar, has been inundated with barrages and deluge of lies, fabrications and smear campaigns being churned out against Pantami.
