The Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Ikamatis Suunah (JIBWIS), has
\ndescribed as a security threat the Biafra agitation and recent Shi’ite
\nattitude in the country.<\/p>\n
The Islamic group stated this at a press briefing by its leader,
\nSheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir, frowned at the attitude of the Igbo tribe
\nand religious organisations.<\/p>\n
Jingir said: “Izala have for the past thirty years been preaching and
\ncalling on the attention of government to be wary of the Shi’ite
\nactivities in Nigeria, because they pose security threat.<\/p>\n
\u201cIzala condemned the clash that happened between the Shiite and
\nmilitary in Zaria, but blockage of access road by any organisation
\nwithout permission whether in the north or south, is a violation of
\nlaws, and infringement on the fundamental rights of other Nigerians.”<\/p>\n
He said the agitation for Biafra by a particular tribe in Nigeria is,
\n“condemnable and is also a threat to the security of Nigeria and
\nNigerians.”<\/p>\n
Jingir called on the government to be careful in handling such
\nsensitive situations for the overall security and peace of the
\ncountry.<\/p>\n
The cleric called on the government to set up an independent committee
\nto inquire the unfortunate incident of the Shi’ite-Military clash, he
\nhowever said the government should be careful in its selection of
\nthose that it will constitute in the committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
