Amupitan had previously described the Boko Haram insurgency and attacks by “Fulani herdsmen” as part of a coordinated anti-Christian campaign requiring international intervention. Previous calls for Amupitan’s sackThe Shari’ah council had previously asked President Tinubu to review Prof. Joash Amupitan’s appointment as INEC chairman.
