Muslim cleric, Sheikh Aremeyaw Shaibu says the Chief Imam, Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu has expressed deep concern and disappointment about the recent reports alleging mistreatment of Muslims in certain Christian missionary schools.

According to him, it has caused the Chief Imam so much worry, that some students are said to have been prevented from partaking in the ongoing Ramadan fast in the Wesley Girls’ Senior High School.

“Anytime Chief Imam hears this he feels disappointed, he feels worried, and when he calls and talks to me he’s like ‘these are the people that they hail praises on me, they show me great respect anytime, but my grandchildren are in their schools, and my grandchildren are not treated well,” he said as quoted by myjoyonline.

He said, “Meek as he is, the Chief Imam will never tell you go and shout, go and do that but he feels disappointed and I feel disappointed.”

Speaking on JoyNews’ AM show, Sheikh Aremeyaw stated that it was of the essence that the mistreatment against Muslims be stopped.

He said, if not stopped, the continued mistreatment of Muslim students could have psychological implications on them.
