The Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria (SCSN), Kaduna State Chapter, on Sunday declared that the attack on one Francis Emmanuel for eating during the Ramadan was not Islamic.
The Chairman of the council, Sheikh Yusuf Rigachikun, disclosed this when he led other members of the council to St. Gerard’s Catholic Hospital, Kaduna, where the victim is currently recuperating.
Emmanuel, a carpenter, was attacked with knives and other dangerous weapons by unknown persons on Tuesday in Kakuri, Kaduna, for eating during the fasting period.
Represented by Tukur Abdussalal, a member of the council, Rigachukun said that the council was “upset” after receiving the news of the ugly incident and decided to visit and console the victim.
“We are deeply sorry that this has happened. It is not Islamic and we condemn it.
“We received the news with disbelief and decided as a council to come and console you and share in your pains,“ he told Emmanuel.
The council presented a cash donation of N100,000 as assistance to the victim and wished him quick recovery.
