The letter signed by the chairman of the committee, Senator Saidu Dansadau, in part; “I am informing you that you are suspended as the Imam and as a member of parliament mosque Apo Abuja from today 2/4/2022 until further notice.
“This action was taken because of Friday’s sermon on 1/04/2022 where you advised people not to vote in 2023 until government answers some questions”
The fiery Imam in his sermon, had accused the government of not doing enough to tackle the prevailing insecurity. He said; “insecurity has become business in Nigeria, the blood of the poor has become campaign materials”
