Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Nigerian separatist group –
Indigeneous People of Biafra, asks Christians serving in the Nigerian army to
resign.
Mr. Kanu’s reason is that the Nigerian military logo has an
Arabic inscription that reads “Victory for Allah alone”.

“…But we have Christians in the Nigerian Army.
“Tonight I’m telling the Christians in the Nigerian Army to
resign and go back to their regions and get ready to defend their land and
people,” Mr. Kanu wrote during a live broadcast monitored by Africa Guardian on
Sunday.
The motto – ‘Nasruminallah’ which means victory comes from
Allah alone, was the motto written on the banner under which the Nigerian
indigenous forces fought against the invading colonial forces. The motto was
once that of Shehu Usman Dan Fodio, chief of the Sokoto Caliphate.
