U.S vs Iran: NSCIA warns Muslim youths against planned protest

Amidst the worldwide tensions caused by America's decision to eliminate Iraq's General Qasem Soleimani, the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) on Monday pleaded with Nigerian Muslim youths to desist from any protest action regarding the attack.

According to the Head of Media of the council, Ibrahim Aselemi, in a statement issued in Abuja, NSCIA believes that the issues should only be resolved diplomatically.

“The attention of NSCIA has been drawn to a planned peaceful protest by some Muslim youths in the country to vent their anger over the killing of Iranian top military commander, Gen. Qasem Soleimani in Iraq.

The body also informed the Muslim youths that their action is wrongly timed and as such should not be carried out.

“Although protests are an integral part of civil democracy all over the world, NSCIA believes that the timing is wrong,” the council said.
