During the march for Iwo, video show participants dey pledge allegiance to Qur’an and Sunnah, but some actions wey camera capture no sweet everybody belle. Especially the way some protesters raise their hands together — some observers quickly compare am to Nazi-style salute, and that one add fuel to fire.
