A prominent Nigerian Islamic cleric, Sheikh Dr. Ibrahim Jalo Jalingo, has drawn widespread criticism following a controversial Facebook post in which he called for the execution of individuals who leave Islam or believe in more than one God.
Jalingo, who serves as the National Chairman of the Council of Ulama’Jibwis Nigeria, cited Quranic verses and prophetic Hadith to justify his stance, reigniting longstanding debates within the Muslim community over the treatment of apostates.
