This is a disgrace to Islam” Photo of Presidential spokeperson Garba Shehu moving to hug a woman angers Muslims

Garba Shehu, Spokesman to the President Muhammadu Buhari, has been called out by Nigerian Muslims after he was pictured moving to hug a woman.

 

Hugs and handshakes between the opposite sex who are not married are forbidden in Islam.

 

However, in a photo shared online, Garba Shehu, a practising Muslim, was captured in a way that seemed he was leaning in to hug a woman though there’s no actual proof of that.

 

This angered Muslims and they accused him of ”disgracing the religion.”
