Boko Haram Has Nothing To Do With Religion - Gen. Buhari

Boko Haram fighters will be refused a recruitment base the moment local communities understand that its claim to being a religious group is nothing but a fraud, the president-elect Muhammadu Buhari has said.


The president-elect stated this while chieftains of Nassarawa state came to congratulate him on his victory in presidential poll.


He said: “The fraud called Boko Haram can be defeated by denying it a recruitment base.

“No religion allows for the killing of children in school dormitory, in markets and places of worship. They have nothing to do with religion. They are terrorists and we are going to deal with them as they deal with terrorists anywhere.”
