The Sultan of Sokoto and President of the Jaamatul Nasir Islam (umbrella body of all Muslims in Nigeria) Sa’ad Abubakar on Friday September 6, spoke up against the demolition of a mosque allegedly carried out by the Rivers State Government.

Describing the alleged demolition of the Rainbow Junction Mosque as an abominable act in a statement released on his behalf by JNI’s Secretary-General Dr Khalid Abubakar-Aliyu, the Sultan of Sokoto called on all Muslims to remain calm pending the resolution of the crisis, Igbere TV reports l.

The statement reads: “Jama’tu Nasril Islam (JNI) under the leadership of His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, CFR, mni, as custodian of the deen, the Islamic Religion in Nigeria, whose revered symbol is inherent in the Masjid, the Mosque, described by our revered Prophet, on whom peace and benediction of Allah will be upon, as Baitullah, the house of Allah, is without any doubt pained by the act of demolition of Trans-Amadi Mosque under whatever guise.

“However, at trying moments such as this, Muslims should be guided by the Qur’anic teaching of introspection and perseverance, truthfulness and sincerity. Such stand fetches for them Allah’s guidance on how the situation would be approached and solved.

“The above approach is to enable the Muslim Ummah to come together in unity under its leadership, which I swear in the name of Allah the Exalted, right from the time the dastard act of the Trans-Amadi Mosque demolition took place, is working round the clock in finding lasting solutions with wisdom, for what the Rivers State Government did, unfortunately, in order to forestall future occurrence of such abominable act in Rivers State and anywhere in Nigeria.

“Muslims are therefore called upon to be calm and restraint, and be prayerful, while the leadership seeks for concordant and accordant redress, within the shortest possible time frame in-sha-Allah”.

Making a mountain out of a molehill, that's Nigeria and their penchant to focus on the non important stuff while the country burns.

It's not an abominable act when churches were destroyed in Arabian peninsula?

When churches were destroyed in North, it's not an abomination !

This people are the worst set of people on earth.


Besides, the sultan needs to come to PH and show us the mosque that was destroyed.

sultan my ass.

but,burning of a church is not.

Bandits are killing your people left and right and all you care about is
fake news about mosque demolition.

Let him go and rebuild it if he feels it's an abomination
Fucckkking sultan
Fucckkking jamatu islam
Fucckkking sokoto state
Fucckkking terrorists

The thing weak me!! You don’t see the northern governors and their leaders reacting to the wanton killings of their people but rather react to a fake mosque demolition story.

Xisnin:
Bandits are killing your people left and right and all you care about is
fake news about mosque demolition.

Satan of Sokoto...!
From the Caliphate point of view, the rest of the country belongs to Sultan who can direct any governor to build or destroy Mosques! This will not be allowed!

We Stan to correct the egotistic Caliphate that Majority of Nigerians are not Muslims. Neither can 10 states of core Northern Muslims control the majority 26 states and FCT made of majority Christians.

It's obvious, BuhariApC is working on moving the seat of Caliphate from Sokoto to Abuja in nearest future and the planned changing of our constitution to reflect "The Sultanate Republic of Nigeria". This too won't work.

Wike is a hero. The Lion himself. I love men with GUTS!

Rivers is a Christian state. And It will always be.

This is the only sultan I know

Satan of Sokoto has spoken.

When will he call out his fellow northerners sponsoring Boko Haram?

But it has been established by different individuals and groups that no mosque was demolished.

Fulani always uniting on religious matter. The mentality of these people both old and young is out of this world

See how swift the Sultan responded to the alleged destruction of a mosque but slow in speaking about the marauding Herdsmen.

He is talking rubbish

Anyway Christian's should erect a churchat the back of the caliphate


Rivers state remains a Christian state.

I wish they did destroy the mosque in question, selfish n wicked cows.very swift to respond to an allegation that has not been established but your cows are busy marauding the whole of country n still yet you have never condemned their act.

Like play, like play , this matter don dey serious oo.

Wike don buy market. He cannot contest any national election in this country and expect to win. He will be a liability for any one who dares to nominate him as vice presidential candidate.

The sultan should come and fight wike man to man.

Nonsense

Boko is not an abomination act, how come this pple don't talk when there are explosions. I think we should be stripped of all kind of religion In Nigeria for us to know who we truly are

If any crisis arises from this matter, Asari Dokubo should be held responsible.
