The Bauchi State government has suspended indefinitely, an Islamic Cleric, over alleged incitement in his preachings. This, the government said, was capable of instigating violence which will lead to the breakdown of the law and order in the state. The statement read in part, “The attention of the Bauchi State Government has been drawn to the manner of your preaching and sermons. “The report revealed that you are castigating the companions of our noble Prophet Muhammad (SAW) while conducting your preaching. “Consequently, you are suspended from conducting preaching and leading congregational prayers in any part of the State in the interest of peace.”
