Cleric Shafiy Adeba Draws Outrage Over Remarks Targeting Non-Muslims

Yoruba-speaking Islamic cleric Shafiy Adeba has sparked outrage after a video showed him making inflammatory comments about non-Muslims, whom he repeatedly called “kafir”. Speaking mainly in Yoruba, Adeba claimed Muslims had a religious right to fight, restrict and enslave non-Muslims. He also described war against non-believers as being rooted in Islam. The remarks have raised concerns over religious intolerance and the risk of incitement in Nigeria’s multi-faith society. The video was shared widely on social media, although the cleric’s comments do not represent the views of all Muslims.
