Atiku Outraged Over Increasing Boko Haram Attacks

Former Vice President has condemned the latest intensification of violence by terrorists in the country, questioning the rationale or purpose of such mindless destruction of lives and property. He said he is even more troubled by the fact that this is happening in the sacred month of Ramadan, a period in which violence is forbidden by Allah.
Reacting to the latest attacks in Sokoto, Kano, Maiduguri, Zaria and Damaturu in a statement by his media office in Abuja, the former Vice President expressed outrage at the intensification of violence and attacks on holy places such as mosques and churches during the month of Ramadan or at any other time for that matter as absolutely indefensible.
These attacks, he said, are contrary to the known teachings of Islam and other established religions, which place high premium on the sanctity of life.
According to him, the latest attacks on Sokoto and the attempted assassination of the Shehu of Borno and Borno State Deputy Governor were completely counter-productive to the interest of peace in the country.
