I had no idea that Ibrahim Magu, embattled former acting chairman of the EFCC, is a “multi-religious” man who attends a church. I thought he was just a Muslim, although northern Nigeria is so complex that merely bearing a “Muslim name” is not sufficient to conclude that one is a Muslim.
In the 1 billion naira lawsuit Prophet Omale just filed against the News Agency of Nigeria for reporting that Omale laundered “re-looted funds” for Magu in Dubai, his lawyer wrote, among other things,
“1. That our client is the General Overseer of an Inter-denominational/Multi-religious Prayer Ministry, which Mr. Ibrahim Magu attends.”
Assuming Magu is a Muslim, what does attending “an Inter-denominational/Multi-religious Prayer Ministry” mean?
There is only meaning I can deduce: What corruption has joined together, let no religion put asunder!
