The Chief Imam of Lead City University, Ibadan, Abdulrahman Muhammed-Liawal, on Sunday urged the media to stop referring to the Boko Haram sect as an Islamic group.
Muhammed-Liawal made the plea in Ibadan at a programme organised by the Muslim community of Radio Nigeria, Ibadan, with the theme: `` Islam and the Media.’’
The cleric, who noted that the activities of the sect were completely anti-Islam, said:
``Islam is not a religion that encourages force but rather a religion of peace and equity.
``The attitude of Boko Haram contradicts the teachings of Islam; the judgment in Islam for anybody that kills his fellow being is death.
`` Anybody that understands this principle will not kill his fellow being.’’
He also advised the media to always confirm their information before reportage in order not to mislead the public.
