ALAAFIN of Oyo, Oba
Lamidi Adeyemi, has flayed the activities of the Boko Haram sect,
saying that the group is being sponsored by enemies of President Goodluck Jonathan
to achieve political goals.
The Alafin in a letter of sympathy
to the president following the Nyanya, Abuja bomb blast, said the group’s
alleged links to Islam was unfounded as he said that Boko Haram’s activities
were against the injunctions of the religion. In the letter dated April 16, 2014, the monarch urged the president to seek
international cooperation from neighboring countries towards stemming the
activities of the insurgents.
Denying any linkage between the
group and Islam, he said: “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 the Allah will continue
to give you the wherewithal to continue to pilot the affairs of this largest
Black African country in the continent.
Good one from this king and i think others to learn from this king and i think all our kings should come together and pray for this country. God Bless Nigeria
