Bwari monarch settles attempted religious crisis

The Esu of Bwari, His Royal Highness, Ibrahim Yero has resolved the at­tempted religious crisis between two Islamic groups, Dereka and Izela groups over the pattern of prayers at Paze community in Bwari Area Council.

Members of the two groups where sometimes in Febru­ary this year divided on how to be conducting prayers at the Mosque located in front of the palace of Paze community lead­er, Saidu Ibrahim.

The AUTHORITY recall that the development led to the invi­tation of the Kubwa Police Divi­sion to explain the circumstanc­es that were surrounding the faceoff, but given the sensitivity of the matter the village head of Byzhin, Malam Sulieman Kaura took it to the Esu for resolution.

Following the disagreement, Ibrahim Yero advised both par­ties to ensure that there is peace, than anything that could bring about breakdown of law and other.

He called on them to use their religion and foster peace in the community, “every reli­gion preaches peace, so there is no need for you people to be divided.

“All of you should work to­gether as family members and not enemies, you people should do all that is needed to promote love and unity and not hatred.”

However, after the judgement by HRH Yero in his palace, he directed that a separate land in the community be given to the Izela members to build their Mosque, following their re­ported opposition to the pattern of prayers and worship in the Mosque. - The Authority
