The Kano State government yesterday demolished the mosque and house of Malam Salisu Aljasawy, the Boko Haram sect leader in Wudil town, 44 kilometres from Kano .
Our correspondents who were at the house and mosque yesterday gathered that the state government ordered the demolition to stop the propagation of the Boko Haram ideology. A detachment of mobile policemen were drafted to the area to prevent any possible attack.
Aljasawy’s house was adjacent to the mosque where he propagated his ideologies.
It was gathered that Aljasawy had conscripted more than 50 youths in the town, and that the sect leader converted the mosque to an academy of some sort.
