The Kano State government has revealed that the rehabilitated roundabout structure awarded by ex-governor Abdullahi Ganduje was demolished because it had a large inscription of the Christian cross on it.

Baffa Bichi, the Secretary to the Kano State Government, revealed this while speaking on the radio on Wednesday, June 14.

He stated that it was against the doctrine of Islam for a monumental structure and landmark of a state dominated by Muslims to carry the inscription of Christians.

As reported by Daily Nigerian, Bichi said:

“The roundabout is obstructing the view of motorists, and secondly, if you use a drone camera, you will see that the roundabout has large design of a cross on top of it.

“And over 9.99 or 100 percent of Kano indigenes are Muslims. So you can’t have a structure with a large inscription of the cross on it. It’s against Islamic values."

Bichi further elaborated on the need for the doctrine of Islam to be adhered to and why it must be paramount to every Muslim.

He said:

“Our clerics told us that whenever our beloved Prophet Muhammad saw anything, no matter how little, with a sign of cross on it, he would ensure that such a thing is destroyed.

“So any picture of Kano you snap, you would see a large sign of the cross on it, even the Muhammadu Buhari underpass in Hotoro has a similar design, and I can assure you that plans are underway to make sure those symbols are removed from the bridge.”
