Photos: Controversial Muslim Cleric, Zakir Naik Delivers Lecture In Abuja Stadium
A renowned Indian-born international Islamic scholar, Dr Zakir Naik, on Sunday, delivered a lecture at the Moshood Abiola stadium in Abuja.
Naija News reports that the controversial Islamic scholar has been in Nigeria since on Monday. Dr. Naik arrived in Sokoto on Monday to honour the 10th annual Usman Danfodiyo week’s celebration.
The Danfodiyo week event was organized by the Sultanate Council and is held annually to commemorate the life and death of the great Islamic reformer who was the founder of the Sokoto Caliphate, Sheikh Usmanu bin Fordiyo.
Dr Naik, who was invited for the year’s event, came along with his son, Fariq Naik, as they toured Nigeria through the ceremony which ended on Thursday.
However, the cleric, after the main event, delivered lectures on “Alqur’an; The Global Necessity” and “The Concept of God in Major World Religions” in Sokoto last Friday and on Saturday in Kwara state.
On Sunday, Sheikh Naik delivered another lecture on Muslim’s choice: Da’wah or Destruction? At the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja.

Naija News recalls that the cleric caused stirs on social media a few days ago after describing officers of the Nigerian Airforce, who he met at the Abuja Airport, as ‘Muslim Airforce’.
