Kala Kato ("A mere man said it"), is an Islamist Quranist group which has been based in northern Nigeria for decades.[1][2] According to the Nigerian author Thaddeus Byimui Umaru, the term Kala Kato translates as "a mere man said it" in the Hausa language (referring to the non-divine nature of Muhammad).[3] [4]
In 2018, the Kala Kato group, alongside Boko Haram and Yan Hakika, was listed by Sunni Nigerian scholars as enemies of the Nigerian government, and the Council of Ulama urged the government under Buhari to provide security forces with adequate equipment.[5]
Overview
According to Nigerian author Thaddeus Byimui Umaru, the group has its origins in Cameroon, and is a modern off-shoot of the Yan Tatsine.[6]
Considering everyone not following their Quran alone beliefs heretical and infidels, Kala Kato's ideology has led to sectarian tensions and violence against Nigerian security forces, Sunnis and Shias.[7] In December 2009 38 people were killed and 20 arrested in the Bauchi and its environs. A Kalo Kato leader, Mallam Bamadasi, was also killed.[8] Another leader of Kala Kato had been arrested in connection with the killings of several Boko Haram members. Bomb-making tools and explosives, AK47 rifles with several rounds of ammunition were recovered from the leader's home, according to the police, along with a number of swords, daggers and gun powder.[9] The Kala Kato group has also been known for the kidnappings of its enemies, as well as human trafficking and robbery.[10] [11]
According to Thaddeus Byimui Umaru, the Kala Kato group is not to be mistaken for the Submitters group in Nigeria, influenced by Rashad Khalifa; who are peaceful and against violence.[12]
