Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), on Friday, called the attention of the Inspector General of Police, Muhammed Abubakar Adamu to reported attack on mosques and Muslim faithful by some hoodlums masquerading as EndSARS Protesters in some parts of the country. The NSCIA’s chairman, media committee, Femi Abbas in a statement forwarded to Saturday Tribune described the attacks as a threat to the peaceful co-existence of the citizens of the country. “The danger in this development is that a precedent is being aggressively set for a religious war, the consequences of which no one can predict with precision. The incidents that led to the current nationwide protests are well known and well defined. “Thus, the turning of a supposedly peaceful nationwide protest into a violent one did not come to NSCIA as a surprise.
