The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has expressed shock over the murder of Mallam Musa Ugasa Okaro.
Okaro, who was the Secretary General of the Delta State Council for Islamic Affairs, was shot dead on his way back home from mosque after observing night prayers on February 3. The Director of Administration of the NSCIA, Zubairu Haruna Usman-Ugwu, in a statement yesterday, urged the police and other security agencies to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators.
“That his death has left a big vacuum that is difficult to fill in the Muslim ummah in Delta State specifically and Nigeria at large is a bitter reality that continues to confound us,” he said.
