An association of the Christian body in Nigeria, the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), has warned against the implementation of Sharia Law in Nigeria.
President of the body, Wale Oke, said introduction of Sharia law in the region is tantamount to exacerbating the country’s precarious situation.
He advised the National Assembly not to succumb to any agitation capable of further plunging the country into a major religious crisis.
“The problems confronting our nation are enormous than wanting to create more.
“Sharia Law is alien to our culture of religious existence in the South-West,” said the PFN leader.
“As such, nobody should, through any subterfuge, bring it in so as to cause a crisis.
“We want to strongly warn the Senate and those behind this plan to unsettle the peace being enjoyed in this country, to desist before it’s too late.
“Don’t instigate religious crisis in the South-West; this could further threaten the fragile peace of the country.”
