THE ABDUCTED ISLAMIC CLERIC, USTADH JUMAH AND WIFE NOT YET FOUND!

Ogun State-based Islamic cleric, Ustadh Abdul Ganiyy Jumah and his wife, Muinat, were abducted at gunpoint about a week ago. As at the time of writing this report, the couple are yet to be found, and no official statement has been made by the Police on the issue. Reacting to this in a press statement, Director of Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), Professor Ishaq Lakin Akintola, the statement read that, “We remind the security agents that nothing warrants such night invasion since there is no state of emergency in the region. We demand the immediate release of the Muslim couple or their arraignment in court within 48 hours of arrest according to the provisions of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“We suspect that this may be the beginning of a crackdown on Islamic clerics in the South as part of the silent war on Islam. Our suspicion is informed by the allegation that another Lagos-based Islamic scholar also disappeared last week. The puzzle surrounding the disappearance of Razaq Gawat, a very popular Lagos-based Islamic socialite and TV personality is yet to be explained 24 months after”.
