The Catholic Bishop of
Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, says terrorism in Nigeria indirectly created by
northern leaders, who used religion to deceive poor Muslims. Kukah said this in his
keynote address at a conference organized by the Islamic Welfare Foundation at
the Fountain University, Osogbo.
At
the event titled, ‘The Muslim agenda for Nigeria: Challenges of development and
good governance’, the cleric said the fresh agitation for an Islamic state by
Boko Haram could be traced to the promise made by northern leaders to ensure
the total implementation of Sharia law.
