‘Boko Haram can destroy Nigeria’

Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola has said that the
continued attacks on Nigerians by members of the Boko
Haram sect can destroy the country.
The governor, in a statement in Osogbo on Sunday
condemned Friday’s terrorist attack on the Kano Central
Mosque.
Aregbesola was quoted to have spoken in Osogbo at a
prayer session of the Nasrullahi -il Fathi Society of
Nigeria, Osogbo branch, where he joined other adherents
to pray for Nigeria and Osun State.
The governor said, “Last Friday’s bombing of the central
mosque in Kano has proved beyond reasonable doubt that
the nation is in the throes of life-threatening crisis.
Nigerians should be alerted to the serious danger that lurks
around with the ceaseless spate of bombings in some parts
of the country.
“The bombing of Emir’s palace’s mosque has proved
ultimately and beyond any doubt that this country faces
daunting challenges posed by the Boko Haram insurgents.
“Condemnable as the act is, yet it baffles one that a lot of
us still deceive ourselves by reading religious colouration to
this whole violence.
“I do not believe that a Muslim, who is a true Muslim,
can do this to a Christian let alone a fellow Muslim.”
