This he said does not conform to the teachings of Islam and urged Muslim youth to uphold the principle of respect for the sanctity of human blood and the sacredness of human life. 

The National Chief Imam said this when the Conference of Regional Chief Imams of Ghana, consisting of Imams from all the 16 regions across the country, paid a courtesy call on him to officially introduce themselves to him. 

He said, ”the Islamic Religion promotes all that is good, righteous and abhors anything that is evil and destructive to human life”.

The National Chief Imam encouraged all Imams to engage the youth on peaceful co-existence every Friday in their sermons.

He advised young people to eschew violence, idleness and not allow themselves to be used by people to foment trouble, adding that what happened on Tuesday is an eyesore and hoped that such a thing does not happen again.
