The Bauchi State government and security agencies in the state were on Monday warned against any attempt to arrest a popular Bauchi-based Islamic scholar,

The Bauchi State chapter of Jama’atu Shababil Islam gave the warning at a press conference held at the secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists in Bauchi.

While saying that holding grudges against opponents after winning the recent election in the state is uncalled for, the Jama’atu Shababil Islam declared that the state Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed ought to have realised the fact it is only Allah who gives power to whoever He wishes and takes sovereignty from whom He wishes as well.

”His Excellency should be informed that there is a global conspiracy against Ahlus Sunnah and the implementation has begun at national level and now in his state. We, therefore, wish to call on him not to allow himself to be part or be used as a tool for the conspirators for whatever reason,” the group said.

According to the group, “His Excellency should as a matter of national security concern stop the planned arrest and intimidation of Imam Dr Idris Abdul’aziz for the continued peace that our dear state enjoys.”
