The Minister of information, Lai Mohammed, don yarn say the members of the Boko Haram sect don start to dey attack Christians and their worship centers to stir religious war between the two major religious groups wey Naija.
Lai Mohammed yarn this tori as im dey address a news conference on the state of insecurity for the country on Thursday February 27th.
Make Una read wetin im yarn .
“They have started targeting Christians and Christian villages for a specific reason, which is to trigger a religious war and throw the nation into chaos. Apparently, they have realized how emotive and divisive religion can be, when exploited by unscrupulous persons.
Lest I am misunderstood, let me repeat: the insurgents, who delude themselves as Muslims whereas they are nothing more than blood-thirsty, rapacious killers who subscribe to no religion, have recently started targeting Christians with a view to sowing the seed of confusion between the two great religions.
This did not in any way signify that they have stopped attacking Muslims. But they seem to now have a deliberate policy of attacking Christians. Some have misinterpreted this to insinuate a systematic campaign to persecute Christians in Nigeria.
This is absurd, and very unfair to the men and women who are daily battling the insurgents”
