President Muhammadu Buhari says it is stupidity to kill
innocent people in God’s name.
The president said with adequate education, Nigerians now
know that the Boko Haram insurgency is neither about religion or ethnicity.
Buhari said this while receiving Karin Ahmad Khan, chief
prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), on Wednesday at the state
house, Abuja.
“God is just. You can’t kill innocent people, and shout; Allahu Akbar (God is great). It’s either you don’t know God at all, or you are simply being stupid,” he said.
“To say Western
education is unacceptable (Haram) is very fraudulent. That is why we are
fighting them, and educating the people. And we are succeeding a lot.
“We came to office when things were very bad, but we are
educating the people. Education is fundamental.
“Religion and ethnicity are out of it. Some people have just
made it a lifestyle to cause confusion, destruction and death.”
Khan in his remarks said extremism is like cancer, which can
spread and recede, adding that what Boko Haram and the Islamic State in West
African Province (ISWAP) do is pervasion of religion.
