On Sunday, Mallam Abdulazeez Arowona, the spokesman for the Emir of Ilorin, said that the monarch and the palace were in support of the Islamic group. “Not once, in my entire span of existence, have I encountered pronouncements by followers of any faith that the slaughtering of rams on the streets and market places is an offence to their concept of godhead. Vegetarians hold their peace. Buddhists walk a different path. Prior to Ramadan, non-moslems routinely join in observing the preceding season of fasting as a spiritual exercise worthy of emulation.“Perhaps this is another occasion for self-introduction.
