Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, the Alaafi of Oyo has raised the alarm that the enemies of President Goodluck Jonathan are deliberately orchestrating the activities of Boko Haram sect in order to tarnish the image of the administration.
This was contained in a letter of sympathy addressed to the President regarding the Nyanya bomb blast in Abuja. He added that though the sect claimed to be backed by Islam, but their activities are completely against the religion.
The letter was dated April 16, 2014, Oba Adeyemi advised the President to seek the support of the neighbouring countries to bring a total end to the ill activities of the insurgents.
He said: “With the influx of mercenary fighters, grenades and rocket launchers, the Boko Haram’s senseless and unreasonable warfare has taken an international dimension and the time is ripe now for Your Excellency to seek for support and cooperation of the international communities, most especially our neighbours, Cameroon, Niger Republic and Chad, to put an end to this threat on the Sovereignty and Security of Nigeria.”
“The religion of Islam, of which I am a strong adherent, is a religion of peace, which forbids and abhors the killing of any human soul. In other words, the Boko Haram warfare is not fighting the cause of Islam but rather a political tool in the hands of those that do not wish you and your government well and therefore, the urgent need for enhancement of intelligence, logistics, holistic and political intervention, to uproot this menace that has become an international embarrassment.
“It is my fervent prayers that the blessings of Almighty Allah will never forsake you and that Allah will continue to give you the wherewithal to continue to pilot the affairs of this largest Black African country in the continent.
