Today, 29/11/16 the Sokoto state police commissioner arrived at the residence of Sheikh Qasim Umar, a leading member of The Islamic Movement, ostensibly on a fact finding mission.

The Police Commissioner told the Sheikh that he was was at the centre to verify security reports reaching him that Shiites will hold a "Grand African Shi'ah Congress" in Sokoto, which according to him, might cause a breach of the peace in the state.

Sheikh Qasim commended the Police Commissioner for setting a record of coming personally to verify the security report. He however denied knowledge of any Shi'a conference in Sokoto, stating that "I am hearing about it now from you for the first time."

Sheikh Qasim recounted to the Police Commissioner, how IMN members have previously been victims of police brutality in the state, adding that "we are still awaiting the payment of compensation by the state government after the courts discharged and acquitted us of all charges and awarded us compensation for damages done to us."

The Police Commissioner left the residence evidently satisfied with what he saw by himself concerning the Sheikh and the IMN.

Earlier on, the news of the intended visit by the Commissioner was met with apprehension by IMN members, as it was coming berely two days after Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai paid a condolence visit to Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal at the Government House, where he used the occasion to announce the establishment of a new Army Division in Sokoto to enhance security in the zone.

Shey the Shia man has denied the so called conference, lets just wait and see if it they don't still hold it...the surprise of the Shia leader is that the Police got to know on time hence he has to deny it...lets just wait, either the Shia people still go ahead and hold it in Sokoto or they move it to another state, one go happen

2 of your are high

Sunni Vs Shiite war has entered Naija. Under GEJ they were together as 'Muslims', even El'Rufai went to campaign at their leaders house for votes, today he says they are banned in Kaduna State and are belligerents who dont recognize him as Gov and Buhari as President after using their votes to help get rid of Jonathan (a man who never persecuted them during his tenure). Now their fellow Muslim brother has killed thousands of them in just one year and threatening to unleash more violence on them with their members detained without trial.

This is what I think of the 2 sects

Zendinho:
GEJ must be a prophet.

Yes a prophet of doom
