From sworn religious enemies to peacemakers in action

From Sunday Morning, 11:05 am on 1 September 2019

Former enemies Imam Dr Muhammad Ashafa and Pastor Dr James Wuye spent years as the leaders of violent militias fighting each other in Nigeria, but an unlikely coming together saw their worlds come together in emphatic fashion and they are now best friends. The religious leaders have been in New Zealand to meet Muslim community and other community leaders in Christchurch and speak at events in Wellington and Auckland.
