Islamic scholars in Kano call for Aisha Buhari’s arrest

We had expected that Islamic scholars would react to the unislamic remarks of Aisha Buhari against her husband.

The Islamic scholars who converged in Kano State decried her oublic barrage of her husband as an insult to Islamic teachings.

The Islamic scholars also called on security operatives to immediately arrest her once she steps foot into the country.

Following Aisha’s comments, President Buhari had dismissed his wife’s claims saying: “I claim superior knowledge over her and the rest of the opposition.

“In the end, I have succeeded.

“It’s not easy to satisfy the whole Nigerian opposition parties or to participate in the government.”

Buhari’s comments drew mixed reaction from his host, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who briefly stared at him.

Meanwhile, excerpt of the interview has sparked fierce condemnation in Kano State.

At Jamaatul Izalatul Bid’ah Mosque in Kano, Shiek Ismail Illyasu Mangu spoke to thousands of worshipers after the Jumaat prayer.

According to the Shiek “Aisha must be arrested because her interview is capable of inciting millions of Nigerians against her husband.

“We are sad about the interview granted by the wife of the President.
