Ex-SGF, Babachir Lawal denies inciting religious violence, threatens law suit against sponsors

The elder statesman said he abhors religious violence and would never be involved in any dastardly act against humanity in the name of religion.

Babachir Lawal made the denial in a statement he issued in Abuja on Monday and disclosed that his team of lawyers would fish out those behind the allegations for appropriate court action to serve as a deterrent to others. The statement made available to our Correspondent read in part “There is a voice note being circulated in the social media purported to have been made by me inciting Christians to retaliate the recurring violence repeatedly unleashed on Christian individuals, their communities and their properties as epitomised by the recent burning to death of Miss Deborah Samuel and Church property in Sokoto.

“While I rightly feel indignant about these killings, it is not in my character to incite people to retaliate.“The Bible clearly urges believers to leave vengeance to God and I have always urged all victims of religious bigotry and violence to obey this injunction.“For those whose interest is best served by this wicked and cowardly act of trying to sully my name, I wish them well. But certainly, it was not done by me neither did I say such.

“Meanwhile, I am prepared for court action against those trying to malign my name through this spurious voice note and they will be made to have their field day in court”, the statement said.

What is this sharia nonsense going on in Nigeria? In a state that suppose to be secular. What is this sharia rubbish. We are gradually swimming into Afghanistan system. Southern politicians wake up.

Nigeria police promotes a criminal by name Magu. Do a research abt Magu u will understand how curropt and his criminal activities but he was promoted bcos he is a fulani man. They sponsor fulani terrorists.
