Boko Haram Members Are Not Muslims – Sultan Of Sokoto

The Sultan said this on Thursday, September

of Muslims in Nigeria and the world over .”

is paying off.

In his words: “ We must commend the various
security agencies in the country for their
sustained efforts in taming the menace of
insurgency and other related crimes in the
nation.
“These commendable efforts must be sustained
to avoid complacency and to sustain the giant
strides in this direction.
“We are also commending security agencies in
the state for working round the clock to ensure
the prevalence of sustainable peace and
security.”

He attributed the relative peace witnessed in
the north and the country in general as a
sign of good government and praised the
federal government for boosting the morale
of security agencies involved in the fight
against insurgency.

country to help to complement the efforts of
government to eradicate poverty through
employment creation.
