Calls intensify for arrest of Islamic cleric over alleged incitement
[]
Ghanaian Times
Calls have intensified for the Ghana Police Service to invite and investigate an Islamic cleric whose remarks urging Muslims to kill people who disrespect Prophet Mohammed have triggered public concern.
Speaking on a local Television station yesterday, Sheikh Aremeyaw said the cleric’s subsequent apology should not bring the matter to an end, arguing that the comments required further investigation.
One social media user, Marklee Nana Yeboah cited previous cases involving politician Kennedy Agyapong, dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale, rapper Medikal and social media personality, Ebo Noah.
Other social media users have also called for the cleric to be arrested or invited for questioning as the situation is causing a religious tension in the country.
The apology, however, has not ended calls for official action, with Sheikh Aremeyaw insisting that the remarks require official scrutiny.
