National Conference: Islamic Scholar Wants Delegates to Focus More on Peace

An Islamic scholar, Dr. Abdulkadir Oba Solagberu, at the weekend urged the committee on religion in the ongoing National Conference to dwell more on factors capable of restoring peace, unity and harmony among religious adherents in the country.

Solagberu, who is also the founder of Darul-Kitab Wa Sunnah College of Arabic and Islamic Studies, Ilorin, disclosed this in Ilorin over the weekend while speaking with journalists.

According to him, “The gesture would go a long way of assisting the nation to witness a new dawn in fostering peace among all the stakeholders in the country. “People must accommodate and tolerate one another irrespective of religious, cultural or political affinities. 

Sheikh Gumi: Kidnap of School girls’ll end Boko Haram activities

An Islamic Scholar, Sheikh Ahmed Abubakar Gumi has said that the kidnap of school girls by the Boko Haram insurgents will end the group’s activities.


In a statement in Kaduna, Gumi said security agents should encircle the Sambisa forest and use aerial surveillance that would lead to the capture of the abductors, adding that time was running out fast on them.

He wondered why it has taken the military so long to use the drone developed and manufactured by the Nigeria Air Force Institute of Technology in Kaduna. If the drone is working, said Gunmi, this is the right time to use it.

To him, it is ironic that “nobody wants to take responsibility and honorably resign for more responsible officials to clear the mess”.
