Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto has said that the Boko Haram sect has no doctrine that resembles that of true Muslims.
Abubakar, who is the President-General, Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, made the clarification at the formal opening of the annual Islamic Vacation Course, organised by the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, Southern Zone, which was held at Kilometer 53, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The Sultan said,
"We have said it times without number that any act that breeds violent like one being exhibited by Boko Haram has no basis in Islam, As you are aware, our religion, Islam stands for peace as it name denotes. So let us remain peaceful always, so that we may live a peaceful life here and be accomodated in the home of peace in the life to come."
In a keynote address, the national president of MSSN, Sirajudeen Abd-Azeez, urged the Federal Government to find a lasting solution to the problem of insurgency which continues to threaten the unity of the country.
He said,
"This great nation is on the verge of collapse. It is no more selling news that terrorism is on rampage taking over our lands on the a daily basis. We want to reiterate that Mr President should address the nation on why the country is under the terrorist siege. Why have the insurgents continued to beat the nation's military arsenal despite the billions of dollars voted for security? Why have terrorist become stronger even after a year when some state in the North- East have come under patial emergency rule?
Who agrees with what the MSSN president is saying?
