Sokoto Imam Allegedly Attacked After 2027 Campaign Remarks in Mosque

An imam, Malam Sadi Ginau, was reportedly attacked after Maghrib prayers in Bodinga LGA, Sokoto State, over comments urging support for President Bola Tinubu and the APC in the 2027 election. Witnesses alleged that the cleric promoted a Muslim-Muslim ticket during his sermon and suggested that worshippers who opposed it should question their faith. Some youths reportedly protested, shouting that his claims were false. The situation allegedly turned violent, with the imam said to have been stoned and assaulted before security personnel intervened. The alleged directive behind his remarks and the identities of those involved have not been independently verified.
