Bauchi State Shariah Commission has invited popular Kano-based Islamic cleric, Dr. Abdallah Gadon-Ƙaya for disclosing that suspected members of gay and lesbian club hosted a 10-day event in Bauchi.
In an unverified video trending on social media, the cleric revealed that he was reliably informed that gays and lesbians from across the north assembled at an unnamed hotel for a 10-day orientation in Bauchi city. He alleged that they paid the facility about N100,000,000 for the 10 days event.
Without giving further details about the precise date and venue of the event, the cleric insisted that he is ever ready to present evidence.
Reacting, Chairman of the Commission, Professor Hamisu Dass on Thursday said an invitation letter has been sent to Dr. Gadon-Ƙaya to come to Bauchi and divulge additional details about the suspected gays activity in the state.
Prof. Dass said the Commission visited and queried managers of the alleged hotel where the event was said to have taken place.
Although the Shariah Commission has not revealed its findings after interrogating the hotel management, Professor Dass warned that anyone found culpable would not be spared.
“The laws will take course against any person found to be involved in this nefarious act. Already, this is a Shari’ah Commission tasked with administration and adjudication of Shariah Laws,” he said.
WikkiTimes recalls that the cleric, Gadon-Ƙaya, maintained a firmed criticism of LGBTQ in several public preachings held following the purported inclusion of same in the SAMOA Agreement to which Nigeria is a signatory.
