Nigeria’s Islamic Council Slams U.S For Taking Sides With Israel Against Hamas

The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) said Monday that it is disappointed with the United States for taking sides with Israel in its conflict with neighbouring Palestine for close to eighty years.

“The Council is disappointed that, in its usual dishonourable way, the United States has openly and shamelessly taken sides with Israel in spite of its brazen and incessant aggressions and massacre of the Palestinians for about eight decades now,” the council said in a statement jointly signed by Prof. Salisu Shehu, Deputy Secretary-General and Yunus Ustaz Usman, SAN, National Legal Adviser.
