Kano State government has barred an Islamic cleric, Sheikh Abduljabar Nasir Kabara from preaching in the state for his mode of teachings considered too incendiary.
Muhammad Garba, the state commissioner for Information, who addressed journalists in Kano, on Tuesday, February 2, 2021, said the decision was part of the state Executive Council’s resolutions at its weekly meeting held at the Africa House, Government House Kano.
He also announced that all seminaries run by the clergyman would be shut down pending investigation by security agencies.
