The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , has said the terrorist group, Boko Haram, is setting Nigerians against one other.
Buhari, who made this known in a statement made available on the website of his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, also lamented the kidnap and murder of the Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in the Michika Local Government Area of Adamawa State, Rev. Lawan Andimi.
He said, “Pastor Andimi’s ministry was located only 60 miles from the town of Chibok, from where in 2014 the world witnessed the shocking kidnapping of 267 schoolgirls. That even one individual—this time a man of the church—could still be taken by the terror group seven years later might be viewed as evidence the terrorists are fully functional, and undefeated. But it is not.“Since I was first elected to office in 2015, 107 of the Chibok girls have been freed. Today we seek the others.
He said, “It is a simple fact that these now-failing terrorists have targeted the vulnerable, the religious, the non-religious, the young, and the old without discrimination. And at this point, when they are fractured, we cannot allow them to divide good Christians and good Muslims from those things that bind us all in the sight of God: faith, family, forgiveness, fidelity, and friendship to each other.
