A Muslim Scribe in Rivers State Alhaji Abubakar Saro Dum Nwigbo, the Chief Security Officer CSO of Mile 1 central mosque has accused politicians of introducing and masterminding the dreaded Boko Haram sect in the country.
In a chat with our correspondent during the Moslems Eidel-Fitre festival in Port Harcourt, Sunday August 19, 2012, Alhaji Nwigbo who recalled the painful killing of innocent citizens of Nigeria, especially in the North by the Boko Haram sect, noted that during his youthful days they never experienced Boko Haram in all the states of the federation but regretted that the present day politicians have introduced Boko Haram in the nation which has killed many souls as well as destroyed properties worth millions of naira.
According to him, the politicians in their selfish political desires sponsored and enticed the youth with their money to kill and destroy their opponents to win elections.
The Moslems scribe who debunked insinuations that the Moslems were those who mastermind the Boko Haram to kill Christians said the question of Boko Haram and their sponsors should go to the politicians because they know how the Boko Haram came about and also know how to handle the menace and not the Moslems.
The Ogoni born Muslim who revealed that he joined Islam five years ago, stressed that his joining was a divine call from God, adding that he was a Christian before and has no regret in becoming a Moslem.
He described this year’s Muslim festival as a fantastic one which cannot be compared with the previous celebrations.
According to him, the Muslim festival is their Easter.
Commenting on the speculation that the Muslims were behind the killings of the Christians, Alhaji Nwigbo debunked the insinuation stressing that the Moslems cannot do such a thing adding that it is not in their Koran and that the Koran was against killing and beside the founding father of Islam, Mohammed, preached against killing while on earth.
The Muslim faithful noted that the Christians believed that they are the true believers of God and criticize Moslems, that they are unbelievers and refused to buy any book from the Moslems for better comparison
Alhaji Nwigbo advised Christians not to criticize Moslems and should know that they worship one God.
He advised them to always buy the Moslem books and compare with their own books, as well as advised Moslems to do the same. ###
