All Muslim are being seen as Boko Haram member in Abia, most of us want to go back to North-Aba Muslim Community


Tension has gripped the Muslim Community in Aba, Abia State following the arrest of the Chief Imam of Aba Central Mosque, Alhaji Idris Bashir; his deputy, Ahaji Bello Maija-a as well as a serving member of the National Youth Service Corps over suspected bomb at the mosque
The former Amirul Hajj, Abia State, Alhaji Musa Iheakaram who spoke to journalists in Aba lamented that his members now live in fear as every Muslim is being branded a Boko Haram insurgent.
“Since our people are being terrorized by the military, they are no longer comfortable. Most of them are even
yearning to go back to their various states. It’s just like the state doesn’t want the existence of Muslims. We have been living in peace with our Christian brethren all along in the state, but this time around every Muslim is being seen as Boko Haram member. We have been working together with security operatives as far as we are concerned here in Aba, but the harassment of the Muslim community has degenerated to an embarrassing level.
“If you are in a place where the condition is no longer favourable for you to live, then the next thing is for you to leave the place. This is the situation the Muslim community is facing in Aba,” he stated.
