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.
