Arrest Cleric Over Hate Speech On First Lady Now- CAN Youth Wing Demands
The Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN) has pushed for the immediate arrest of Muslim Cleric Idris Abdulaziz Dusen Tenshi.
The cleric was seen in a video calling for the killing of Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of the President, tagging her an “infidel” due to her Christian faith.
"Now, Tinubu @officialABAT, his wife is an #infidel. Even as an infidel, she is an 'oga' (a leader) among the infidels. Even her, God's judgement says she must be killed.. She's a pastor… Leaders of infidels (Christianity), Allah says they must be killed…"

YOWICAN made the demand on Friday after the 2024 National Prayer Day and the 1st Quarter National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held at the National Christian Centre in Abuja.
Chairman of YOWICAN, Belusochukwu Enwere in a communiqué, emphasised the immediate need for government and security agencies to take action.
“NEC is calling for the immediate arrest of the Muslim Cleric (Idris Abdulaziz Dusen Tenshi) who has called for the killing of the wife of the President, Sen Oluremi A Tinubu for being a Christian. Describing her as an infidel.
“The NEC is calling for the public prosecution of the cleric and wishes to request the said preacher should be restricted from preaching in Nigeria to serve as a deterrent to others.
“The NEC is giving the Federal Government and security agencies to act immediately to avoid the further deterioration of the security situation in the country because of the unguided statement/utterance.”
The communiqué partly stated.
Aside from the demand, issues affecting the nation such as economic hardships faced by citizens amid rising costs of living, and the deteriorating state of security marked by rampant killings across the country were discussed.
