The National Leader of the Izala (Ahlus-Sunnah) movement, Sheikh Bala Lau, has applauded the Director-General (DG) of the Department of State Services (DSS), Mr. Oluwatosin Adeola Ajayi, for his essential role in resolving the crisis in Kano State.
Sheik Lau stated this while speaking at a preaching session in Ibadan, saying that the intervention of the DSS boss in the case regarding the Islamic preacher Mallam Abubakar Lawal, popularly known as “Triumph”, was properly handled to prevent further escalation of the crisis between conflicting Islamic groups.
He further noted that the issue had the potential to result in a court trial but was redirected towards a peaceful resolution following Mr. Ajayi’s directive to the Kano State Command to mediate in order to explore amicable resolutions.
Sheik Lau advised the Kano State Shura Council, which was set up to investigate the matter, to ensure a fair and impartial process.
The Islamic cleric called for tolerance, saying, “Be tolerant and always apply wisdom in your mode of preachings. May Allah continue to guide us.”
