Wary of Boko Haram rebirth, Borno moves to regulate Islamic preaching
|
[PREMIUMTIMESNG] Blaming skewed religious sermons as one of the major factors that fueled the Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
Ideology, Borno State government has set up a regulatory body to censor Islamic preaching in the state.
At the inauguration of the body, named Borno State Islamic Preaching Board, Governor Kashim Shettima said its task is to help prevent "history from repeating itself".
The governor said the board’s task is to monitor and spy on the preaching of all Islamic holy mans especially those in the remote areas of the 27 local government areas of the state.
The Islamic Preaching Board is to be headed by the Chief Imam of Borno State, Imam Zannah Laisu Ibrahim Ahmed.
Mr. Shettima urged the board to monitor the proliferation of traditional Islamiyya, Tsangaya or Almajiri and Arabic schools for the purpose of "protecting noble schools from the infiltration by others which may have hidden motives aimed at teaching violent doctrines".
All members of the board were present.
Mr. Shettima said Borno and its people "must learn from the history of the Boko Haram", which he noted keeps re-surging despite being defeated at various times by the military.
