The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) under the leadership of its President-General and Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, has condemned the United States’ Government of Joe Biden for backing Israel in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
This was contained in a statement jointly signed by Prof. Salisu Shehu and Yunus Ustaz Usman (SAN); NSCIA Deputy Secretary General and National Legal Adviser on Monday.
The group also expressed sadness over the outbreak of deadly and devastating war on the besieged Palestinians in Gaza and asked the Nigerian government to render help to Palestine like what they did during the fight against apartheid in South Africa and for the sake of humanity and justice.
The NSCIA enjoined the Nigerian government “to come out and stand clearly with the helpless victims of persistent Israeli persecution, massacre, oppression and suppression.”
