President Muhammadu Buhari says Boko Haram insurgency has neither religious nor ethnic underpinning, and that with adequate education, majority of Nigerians now know the truth.
The president stated this when he received the Chief Prosecutor of International Criminal Court (ICC), Karin Khan, at the State House, Abuja, on Wednesday.
He said that with concerted public enlightenment, it had become clear to Nigerians that Boko Haram was a perversion of religion rather than an Islamic ideology.
He said: “God is justice. You can’t kill innocent people and shout ‘Allah Akbar’ (God is great). It’s either you don’t know that God at all or you are simply being stupid.
“To say that 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.
