Another Boko Haram in the making.........Islamic group alerts Government on weapon-brandishing sect

The Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah Islamic Society (ASWAJIS) has expressed concern over the presence of what it called weapons-brandishing sect in Kaduna State and called on the government to take proactive measures against the members.

The communique issued after a training session for Islamic preachers in Kaduna yesterday and signed by Sheik Binyamin Yusuf and Abdul Waheed Abdul Azeez, chairman and secretary of the Society respectively warned that “Islam in Nigeria is facing  challenges from within because of the dangerous ideologies introduced by different sects.
 

“Our concern is on the activities of a sect which brandishes different types of weapons on the streets of some cities in Kaduna State, especially in Zaria. They take laws into their hands and threaten the peace-loving people of the state. We call on the government to take proactive measures to nip the potential threat in the bud. In the same vein, the group wants immediate action against the blasphemous and heretical elements in Kano,that may become a threat in the near future. We also urge Muslim preachers to strictly adhere to the provisions of the Qur’an and Sunnah”, the group said.
 

The group commended the federal government under the leadership of President Muhammad Buhari, in the fight against insurgency while urging it to take action on corruption.
