Senator Abaribe Warns Any Attempt to Introduce Sharia In Igboland Could Spark Civil War
Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, representing Abia South in Nigeria’s Senate, issued this warning on November 17, 2025, amid reports of alleged secret meetings by groups with Northern interests to push Sharia law in the predominantly Christian Igboland (South East Nigeria). He stated that such efforts would undermine the region’s religious and cultural balance, calling it “a call for civil war,” and urged vigilance to protect religious freedom and prevent ethnic-religious divisions. This echoes historical tensions, like 1990s clashes over a mosque in Anambra, and fits ongoing national debates on Sharia’s scope beyond Northern states.
