Islamic clerics have said that election riggers and internet fraudsters popularly called Yahoo boys (Internet fraudsters) are fasting in vain except they retrace their steps .

The Chief Imam of the University of Abuja, Prof. Taofik Azeez, and the Missioner, Islamic Youth League, Abeokuta,Ustadh Jubril Awwal, said this on Wednesday while speaking with our correspondent in Abeokuta.

The Abuja Chief Imam, who is also the Chief Missioner, Dawah Front of Nigeira, said Yahoo Boys are wasting their time by fasting except they repent.

The cleric said even if Yahoo boys use the proceds to construct a mosque, it would not be accepted.

He said, “It is a sin. They steal people’s money through diabolical means. Even, if they spend their money to build mosques, Allah is not going to accept it, because Allah is pure and is not accepting anything except what is pure.

“Yahoo boys, kidnappers are fasting in vain. They must repent and they must not return to their business after Ramadan.”

The IYL Missioner, in his remarks, said election riggers and Yahoo boys that are fasting are fasting in vain.

He said, “The month of Ramadan is to get the fear of Allah. The essence of Ramadan is to fear Allah.

“If someone has been involved in immoral acts, there is no way his fast can be accepted except he repents.”

Also speaking, the Imam of Liberty Mosque in Abeokuta, Ustadh Rasheed Adeyanju, warned election riggers and Yahoo boys against wasting their time by fasting.

He said, “These people, Yahoo boys and election riggers are bad people and are not friends of Allah.

“They have made people suffer with their actions. Their fasting is a waste of time except they stop the act and repent.”

If they will heed

Obi is the real election rigger. How can you come third, not even second and claim to be the winner of ann election?

Hahahaha.
Nigerian Politicians don't care.
They engage in deceits, kill and steal billions from the Masses, and use fractions of what they stole to feed the poor masses during fasting with the believe that by feeding the poor during fasting, they sins are forgiven.

Honestly I am still yet to get the purpose of fasting.

Growing up as a kid, I have never for once seen my dad fasting before even though he do go to church.

Praying and fasting without smarter moves are just like P in Psychology

They'll soon call the Islamic cleric IPOB.

See, what happened in Imo state can only happen in SE. 4th candidate becoming the governor elected.

You people are not even consciously aware of the dent that alone brought to your region not to ask about the meaning and purpose of UGM.

When would you people wake up from your slumbering?

Islam is around 80% of Nigeria's problems....

This one na direct shot on Asiwaju..

Heheheheheh.., this one sweet me

Mrkindness:
but you accepted same judgement in Imo State. wawa

How is what happens in Imo any of my concern when I'm in far away Kaduna? If a particular person is deemed unqualified or for some reason is seen as not fit to be Governor. Then he should by all means be removed.

They rig elections and be fasting for forgiveness the following month

Ok

Mahmood will fast and pray in vain .....for robbing Nigerians

Do you mean, Tinubu, Yakubu mumu do, MC oluomo are all fasting in vain? I doubt that

Tell that to the Alfas that collect money to pray for them too as well.

We know the election riggers. In fact the whole world knows them now.

If only more religious leaders could speak the truth.. And reject ill gotten proceeds.
Acta non verba.. Action not words.

And who are you to judge?
If na so na Nigerian clerics go first roast 4 hell or wherever.
"Far-I-See!" E dey una body(owa ni ara yin)

Exactly.

If you indulge in any of these as a Muslim, the acceptance of your fast is 50/50
