His Royal Highness, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi
II, the Emir of Kano, has revealed that he used his personal income to
rebuild a church that was destroyed during religious unrest at Rogo
local government area in the state, Leadership reports.
The former CBN governor stated this during a one day Inter-Religious
and Community Conference organised by the Kano state government with the
theme: “Towards Strengthening Interfaith and Community Relations for Harmony, Peace and Sustainable Development”, which was held at the coronation hall, government house in the state on Friday, December 25.
He said: “I renovated the said church to help avoid a situation where a Christian believer might feel offended and his religion disrespected”.
The monarch urged the followers of the two major religions to respect each other’s religion to avoid future religious disharmony in the state and the country at large.
Participants at the conference include the Kano state CAN chairman, Ransome Bello as well as other Christians and Muslims clerics.
Reports had earlier surfaced that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was considering summoning the Emir for questioning with regard to claims that he gave the office of the former national security adviser, Sambo Dasuki, N40b in donations while he served as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The anti-graft commission said the other former CBN governors, along with the current governor, Godwin Emefiele, would soon be summoned to clarify their roles in the arms scandal.
