Tabliq Sect spokesperson sheikh Siraje Kifampa has advised the state and government of Uganda to stop committing injustices against Muslims claiming that they are citizens of this country.

Talking to him at Nakasero mosque sheikh kifampa said yesterday’s verdict of life imprisonment of the three Muslim clerics was an injustice adding that Muslim community is not happy with the forms of injustices against Muslims agitating why they are being witch hunted.
Sheikh Siraje who still believes that the convicts did not kill anyone said the sentence means Islam is still a problem to this country adding that the sentence that was delivered means Uganda is a country which has not reconciled with her people.
Prosecution alleged that between December and June 2015 the accused conspired with others to murder Sheikh Mustafa Bahiga and Sheikh Hassan Kirya and attempted to attack Prince Khassimu Nakibimge, Haruna Jjemba, Swidiq Ndaula Naji Ssonko and Mahmoud Kibate.

Therefore basing on court assessors that were led by Mohamed Ddumba, Robert Sseguya Lubega and Judith Muhairwe weighed evidences and information that was offered by sureties, International Crimes Division of High Court convicted them.
