President Buhari Denounces Islamic Ties Of “Allahu Akbar” Killer Muslims
President Muhammadu Buhari took to social media to condemn in disdain terms, terrorists that echo “Allahu Akbar” while killing innocent Nigerians.
Revealing that they are out to cause disharmony between Christians and Muslims, President Buhari described the killers as agents of darkness and enemies of humanity.
Promising to break the backbone of the terrorists by partnering with the international community, President Buhari reassured Nigerians that his administration will not relent in the fight against terrorism.
He wrote”
I am profoundly saddened and shocked by the death of innocent hostages in the hands of remorseless, godless, callous gangs of mass murderers that have given Islam a bad name through their atrocities
We should, under no circumstance, let the terrorists divide us by turning Christians against Muslims because these barbaric killers don’t represent Islam and millions of other law-abiding Muslims around the world.
As a President, the collective security of all Nigerians is my major preoccupation and the death of an innocent Christian or Muslim distresses me.
No true Muslim would be shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ while killing innocent people, an evil frequently condemned by the Holy Qur’an.
These agents of darkness are enemies of our common humanity and they don’t spare any victim, whether they are Muslims or Christians, and therefore, we shouldn’t let them divide us and turn us against one another.
The goal of these psychopaths is to cause confusion and spread distrust between Muslims and Christians, despite the fact that they aren’t representing the interest of Muslims or Islam.
While I condemn this evil, I wish to reassure Nigerians that this administration will not lower its guards in the war against terrorism, and we will continue to intensify our efforts towards strengthening international cooperation and collaboration to break the backbone of these evil doers.
I call on all Nigerians to stand united against terrorism and to avoid unhelpful conspiracy theories that serve the interest of Boko Haram terrorists and ISWAP.
Muhammadu Buhari
