He cautions against hoarding, citing ethical concerns and emphasizing the importance of cultivating food for the community’s well-being

Sheikh Muhammad Sani Yahya Jingir, the President of the Council of Scholars at the Jama’atu Izalatil Bidi’ah Wa Ikamatis Sunnah National Headquarters in Jos, Plateau State, has appealed to farmers to refrain from selling their cultivated produce to grain hoarders. In a recent interview with Aminiya, the prominent religious leader highlighted the potential negative impact of this practice on the community, especially considering the ongoing economic challenges.

Expressing concern about the resurgence of grain hoarding activities, Sheikh Jingir pointed out that individuals engaged in hoarding are taking advantage of the current affordability of produce, having previously garnered substantial profits from similar actions. He urged farmers to exercise patience during these challenging times. He emphasized that the food they cultivate will be essential for the community’s well-being in the future, given the difficulties faced in the last season.

The Sheikh also cautioned those involved in stockpiling food, stating that hoarding and subsequently inflating prices go against ethical principles and are displeasing to God.

Adamawa: 30-year-old man kills mother over witchcraft

One Sadiq Idrissu has killed his mother over alleged witchcraft in Adamawa State.

Sadiq, a resident of Boga in Gombi Local Government Area, reportedly shot his mother on the 5th of this month, leading to her death

Sadiq, who confessed to the heinous act, said he decided to kill his mother because she appeared to him in his dream, troubled him and caused him sleepless night night.

The 30-year-old Sadiq has since been arrested and currently held by the Adamawa State Police Command.

Admitting to the police that he killed his mother, Sadiq expressed no remorse, stating, “I sympathise with my father for marrying and staying with her all this while.”

He claimed to have reasons to believe that his mother was a witch, saying, “She was a witch. She appeared to me as a witch. People have been accusing her of witchcraft for about two years. It is true because something kept frightening me, especially at night.”
