Shari’ah council condemns Kukah’s remarks linking Islamic law to violence

Shari’ah Council Condemns Kukah’s Remarks

The Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN), Kaduna State Chapter, has strongly criticized recent comments by Reverend Matthew Hassan Kukah.

Reverend Kukah linked the implementation of Shari’ah law in northern Nigeria to rising violence.

Shari’ah, as practiced in these states, is not a political weapon but a reflection of faith, tradition, and moral discipline deeply rooted in the lives of millions of Muslims.

The SCSN maintained that insecurity in northern Nigeria arises from socio-political challenges rather than religion.

The Council described the Catholic cleric’s remarks as “unfair and insensitive”.
