Bishop Kukah accuses Islamic group of inciting violence against him - Edoman - 01-12-2021 Bishop Kukah accuses Islamic group of inciting violence against him Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah has accused an Islamic group, Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) of inciting violence against him over his controversial Christmas message. Recall that the Islamic group had accused Kukah of "firing a poisoned arrow at the heart of Islam and Muslims in Nigeria" after he said there could have been a coup if a non-Northern Muslim President did a fraction of what President Buhari has done in his Christmas message. The JNI in a statement signed by its secretary-general Khalid Abubakar Aliyu, alleged that the Catholic Bishop initiated the attack even when he was welcomed in Sokoto, a state they described as the seat of the Caliphate and the heart of Islam and Islamic scholarship, culture and practices in sub-Saharan Africa. Reacting to this, the Catholic Bishop alleged that the Islamic group was simply inciting violence against him. He added that the JNI secretary focused more on politics than humanity to have accused him of firing an arrow at the heart of Islam and Muslims in Nigeria. Kukah said; Quote:“Dr Aliyu has accused me of being an enemy of his Religion, Islam. He accused me of what he calls, firing an arrow at the heart of Islam and Muslims in Nigeria. He says I have been accorded respect and accommodated in Sokoto and I have turned around to bite a finger that has fed me. He poses a question: How can Muslims continue to be hospitable to one who proves to be an ingrate many times over? How can Muslims be comfortable in associating with a bitterly vindictive person disguised in the garb of a religious cleric? I can only take this statement from the Secretary General of JNI as a clear case of incitement to violence against me. |
