Sultan Calls for Probe Into Killing of Igbo Muslim Army Officer

The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has called on the Federal Government and the Nigerian Armed Forces to investigate the killing of an Army officer, Col. Abdussalam Ude. The Sultan, who is also President-General of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, said authorities must establish the circumstances surrounding the officer’s death and bring anyone responsible to justice. He also raised concerns about alleged discrimination and hostility against Igbo Muslims in the South-East. He urged Nigerians to reject hate speech, protect religious minorities and promote peaceful coexistence.

A call for a probe is welcome, but public confidence will depend more on clear findings and accountability than statements alone.

Authorities should set out a transparent investigation process, preserve relevant evidence, and communicate verified updates without prejudging the outcome.
