Don’t introduce Sharia in South-West, PFN warns Senate
THE Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has urged the Senate to avoid surreptitious moves by some groups to introduce Sharia law to the South-West region through the on-going constitution review.
The Christian body raised this alarm yesterday in reaction to the ongoing public hearing on the amendment of the 1999 Constitution.
President, Bishop Wale Oke, said in a statement issued by his Media Office said that the move was capable of adding to the numerous problems facing the country.
He urged the Senate not to succumb to such agitation which he said was capable of further plunging the country into major religious crisis.
He said, “The problems confronting our nation are enormous than wanting to create more.
“Shharia law is alien to our culture of religious existence in the South-West. As such, nobody should through any subterfuge, bring it in to cause crisis.”
