The Nigerian Islamic Movement has asked the Governor of Kano State, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, to impose allegations of the contrary to cano-based scholars is fought, Sheikh Abdulbbar Nasiru Kabara, and released him.
IMN said the Governor and Kano-based Islamic clerics were just trying to keep Sheikh Abduljabbar from circulation and prohibit his teachings and religious activities just because he was different in his religious view and their point of view from them.
IMN said this became necessary to remember the fact that the Nigerian Constitution has guaranteed citizens can practice any religion of their choice.
"Constitutional Rights Sheikh Abduljabbar Kabara is guaranteed in the Nigerian Constitution including the right to freedom of religion and conscience and freedom to worship, teach, practice, and observe the religion of his choice," he said.
The arrest and charging of Sheikh Abduljabbar by the Ganduje government is a serious violation of these rights and we strongly condemn it because they must be condemned by all Nigerians who intend well regardless of their religious affiliation. "
"We have participated in careful events in connection with differences in understanding and opinions with a canoe-based coalition and how the government led by Ganduje sided with closing the school and the Sheikh mosque without first proving the accuracy of its suspicion.
IMN said that what is called 'debate' is clearly designed from onset to support the coalition against the fought Sheikh. It was held behind the closed door only by those who openly opposed it.
"The so-called" debate "is clearly designed from the beginning to support the coalition against a embattled Sheikh. It was held behind a closed door filled with only those who openly opposed them.
"Expected, the coalition government and Ganduje all claim that Sheikh Abduljabbar did not satisfy them and must be prosecuted, with part of them even called for the death penalty!
