He was a member of the group known as Southeast Muslims of Nigeria (SERMON) that mapped out strategies for peaceful co-existence and understanding among different Igbo groups and called for security and safety of all Nigerians’ lives, properties, places of worship etc. irrespective of where they come from or live.
