The Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria has described Operation Amotekun as a ploy by Christians to dominate Southwest Nigeria.
The Muslim group’s Vice President Sheikh Abdurrasheed Hadiyatullah, told newsmen that the security outfit was designed by Christians to take over from the Muslim majority in the region.
He added that the outfit will aid the christianization of Southwest.
Hadiyatullah said:
“The Amotekun program is viewed as a subtle method of further Christianization of the Southwest by its promoters in their usual manner of having political and power dominance over the Muslims in the region.
“It is another elusive way of establishing a ‘Christian-dominated State Police Force whose affairs would be designed and determined from the Church at the expense of the Muslims majority in the region
