Summary
An organisation called 1 Ummah NG is holding a peace and unity convention. The speakers at the convention include two foreign clerics. The events are scheduled to hold in Lagos and Abuja.
The Muslim Students Society of Nigeria (MSSN), Unilag chapter booked the Unilag Mosque for an event that would feature the two foreign speakers, however, the Unilag Muslim Council (UMC), led by the Chief Imam of Unilag, cancelled the event. They said that they cancelled it because the speakers were foreign.
It has been reported that disciplinary action has been taken against some students of the College of Medicine, University of Lagos (CMUL) because they associated with the MSSN Unilag Chapter without permission.
The students say that the UMC has no right to regulate their activities.
This has led to controversy on Nigerian social media space. Some Muslims say that the foreign preachers are extremists, while others say that they are not extremists and nobody has the right to stop them from preaching in Nigeria.
