Sharia Council Blasts Wike Over Alleged Mosque Demolition

“While we condemn Wike’s desperate wickedness, we also call on all relevant executive, legislative organs of the Federal Government to nip this unnecessary and unwholesome development before it escalates into an avoidable reciprocation, with obvious unpredictable negative consequences,” the council said.Reports of the demolition of a mosque in Port Harcourt by the Rivers State government had triggered controversy and criticisms by Nigerians on social media.
“Clearly he got carried away by the recent declaration of Rivers as a Christian state, therefore, he is trying to show his intolerance of Muslims.”
