The Katsina State Government has summoned Malam Yahaya Masusauka, for allegedly contravening the general principles of Islamic law during his regular teachings and preachings.
This was announced by the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Abdullahi Faskari, in a statement issued in Katsina on Tuesday, by Ibrahim Almu-Gafai, his Director Press.
According to him, the state government had earlier received complaints that the teachings and preaching of Masussuka contravened the general principles of Islamic Law.
He explained, “The government equally received another complaint from the side of Masussuka, that members of Jama’atu Izalatul Bidia are insulting and threatening to attack hím.
“In an attempt to address the issues, the above concerns were forwarded to the Katsina Emirate Council, where both sides were invited for a discussion.
“At the end of which, the Emir, Alhaji Abdulmuminu Kabir-Usman, admonished that nobody is permitted to conduct preaching and teachings in such a way as to offend another.
“In the interest of peace and harmony, Gov. Dikko Radda had directed that Masussuka should prepare to defend himself on the allegations, before a Committee of Ulamas.”
The secretary of the state government further urged the public to be patient as the matter was being judiciously handled.
