Sheikh Abduljabbar Kabara, a prominent Islamic scholar from Kano State, Nigeria, has accused the state government of imprisoning him.
The teacher was jailed by the government a day after he was banned from preaching across the state.
He is accused of making inflammatory remarks in his sermons.
The teacher confirmed to our correspondent that no one was allowed in or out of his home.
He told our correspondent in Kano: "The truth of the matter is that this report that came to you is true. I am sitting here in the library and everyone who comes is told to come in. prevent them from entering, unless he leaves. If he leaves he will not r eturn. "
He added that he was surprised by the move because "we thought it was just a study they did not want to do. We did not know that even immigration would not be possible. So we did not plan what to do. need of life. "
The incident comes as Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje is meeting with teachers of the Izala, Kadiriyya and Tijjaniya sects on the ban on clerics.
Among those who attended the event were Nura Manzo Arzai, Sheikh Sale Pakistan, Mallam Bashir Alfurkan, Sheikh Matabuli, Sheikh Nasir Kabara, Mallam Shehi Shehi mai Hula, Mallam Abdulhadi Hotoro, among others.
Mallam Nura Arzai expressed his satisfaction and support for the government's decision to ban Sheikh Abduljabbar from preaching and interpreting.
He said this proved that Governor Ganduje had given his name to Khadimul Islam, as he had put an end to the insult to the Companions of the Holy Prophet (SAW).
However, Mallam Abdulhadi Adam Hotoro said the verdict should be handed down if Abduljabbar's alleged guilt was found to be against Islamic law.
Earlier, Sheikh AbdulJabbar Sheikh Nasir Kabara described the suspension by the Kano State government of preaching and closing his mosque as "unjust".
He told to our correspondent that although the government itself, through the state commissioner of education, had confirmed the allegations, it had stopped him without giving him the opportunity to defend himself.
The cleric said last week's meeting was one of the reasons why the government had taken this step, given that all attempts to block the meeting had failed."
The commissioner of education told the government spokesman that Abduljabbar was being mistreated and that the actions of these clerics were completely untrue, they had entered politics into religion," the cleric said.
He said: "As a non-partisan person, like the commissioner of education who says Abduljabbar is being mistreated, it is enough for the government to respond that what it has done is wrong."
