The Federal Government has raised the alarm that Boko Haram insurgents are attacking Christians to divide the country.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alh. Lai Mohammed made the position of the government known at a briefing in Abuja on the current security challenges facing the nation. “Apparently, they have realised how emotive and divisive religion can be, when exploited by unscrupulous persons. “The attack on a Christian village, Kwarangulum, near Chibok; the killing of the Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in Michika local government in Adamawa, Lawan Andimi; the killing of Ropvil Daciya Dalep, a student who was also a member of the Church of Christ in Nations and the killing of 11 Christians on Christmas eve, etc, fit into this new strategy.“Some have misinterpreted this to insinuate a systematic campaign to persecute Christians in Nigeria.
“The resort to the increasing use of Guerilla tactics by the insurgents is a sign of weakness on their part. Contrary to the belief in certain quarters, these insurgents are getting weaker by the day, thanks to the gallantry of our men and women in uniform.”He said:” The renewed vigour by the military in their war against the insurgents is paying off handsomely, judging by the victories they have recorded in recent times.
