JNI Worried Over Fate of Muslims in South-South

Kaduna — The Jama'atu Nasril Islam (JNI) has expressed concern over the fate of Muslims in the South-South region of the country following the expiration of the one-week ultimatum given to Muslims to vacate Niger Delta.

Addressing newsmen in Kaduna yesterday, JNI Secretary General Sheikh Khalid Abubakar Aliyu said the threat had compelled some Muslims to vacate the region.

"Muslims are under serious threats of their lives and property in the Niger Delta region, and we have not heard anything from the government. With the information reaching us, some of the Muslims have started moving out which means the threat is becoming a reality."
