For criticising President Muhammadu Buhari over last Monday night’s attack on an Abuja-Kaduna train, the Chief Imam of Apo Legislative Quarters Juma’at Mosque in Abuja, Sheikh Nuru Khalid, has been sacked by the mosque’s Steering Committee.
The sack of the embattled clergyman came after his suspension by the Steering Committee of the mosque.
Sheikh Khalid’s sack was subsequently announced on Monday afternoon by the mosque’s Steering Committee.
Following his suspension, he was reported to have vowed to continue to speak truth to power.
The body hinged their decision to sack him on his failure to show remorse.
The sacked Chief Imam was quoted as saying that he had not been given a sack letter.
The head of the Mosque’s steering Committee was unreachable at the time of filing this report.
