From photographs of the swearing in of new CJ Tanko Mohammed, some ignorant commentators have raised issues and wrong conclusion about the sling bag carried by the new judiciary head. Some say it's a Sharia symbol while others said the bag is Fulani herdsmen bag.

Nothing can be farther from the truth and it's good to see from these swearing photos of different CJs in the past. As you can see, only Walter Onnoghen is not carrying a sling bag. That is because as a Christian, he is holding the Bible with which he is being sworn in. Muslims swear by the Qur'an but they cannot hold it as the Christians hold the Bible.

When anyone is being sworn in depending on his or her faith, he holds the Bible or the Qur'an, but in Islam, if you are unclean you cannot touch the Qur'an and the person being sworn in at the time might be unclean since there won't be time to do ablution and cleanse himself. The Qur'an is therefore put in a bag which he carries. This is standard practice for Muslims.

Just think about it - suppose a Muslim had to ease himself a few minutes before swearing by the President, he obviously won't have time to do ablution to cleanse himself and certainly cannot touch the Qur'an with the hand he used in holding his member in the toilet; what better way to get out of this than to keep the Qur'an clean and safe in a bag? It is not just by CJNs.

Those days when members of Military Ruling Councils took their oaths, the Moslem members used the bag. Since then ministers, service chiefs etc. use the bag. Now, Muslims believe that the way to keep the Qur'an from ‘filthy hands’ is by puting it in a sling bag. I am told this is the case even for prayer purposes.

So don't believe those social media gangs saying the new CJ is using a Fulani herdsmen bag to show where he stands.

Islam is quite similar to Mosaic Judaism. You people should reform those archaic practices
