The National Chairman of the Council of Ulama of Jammatul Izalatul Bidia Waikamatu Sunnah, Shiekh Sani Yahaya Jingir, has said that terrorists are planning to use Islamic veil (Hijab) in launching their evil attack on the people of the state

Jingir, who stated this on Friday at a JIBWIS national seminar in Jos, said: “Reliable information had reached us that some non-Muslims had purchased large quantity of ‘Hijab and Jallamiya’ in some markets in Jos.

“We have gathered that terrorists and their cohorts, the enemies of peace, have resorted to use our Islamic mode of dressing to launch their devilish act of attacking innocent souls during the forthcoming Ramadan Tafsir where Muslims faithful gather.

“We observed that this new trend is targeted at demonizing our Islamic way of life and poses a threat to our women, as our women cannot stop using Hijab because it is one of our religious rites.
“No amount of propaganda would stop us from using Hijab.

“I urge all religious and community leaders to educate their followers and device means of taking precautions steps against the terrorists.”

Jingir frowned at the media clampdown by the military, describing it as a bad omen for the country’s development.
He urged media houses and practitioners to remain firm and steadfast in discharging their responsibilities and continue to focus on what would promote peace and unity of the country.
