The Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria, (SCSN), Kaduna state has thrown its weight behind President Muhammad Buhari over the suspension of the Chief Justice of the Federation, Justice Walter Onnonghen on the alleged failed declaration of assets. The Muslim body in a press conference led by its Chairman, Sheikh Sambo Rigachikun and the secretary, Engr. AbdurRahman Hassan on Wednesday warned that further agitations against the suspension of justice Onnoghen as the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) could further polarize the fragile country, rather than uniting it. No Muslim protested that his own was removed illegally, simply because he acted patriotically in favour of our dear nation,” the Muslim body recalled. The council, however, urged all Muslims and the public in general, to be law abiding and pray fervently for peaceful coexistence in the country.
