The lawmaker representing Borno South Senatorial District,
Ali Ndume, says Boko Haram terrorists are blind to faith, stressing that they
attack Christians, Muslims as well as those who don’t believe in either of the
two religions.
The Senator urged Nigerians, particularly the media, to
avoid the temptation of profiling victims of the terror gang’s atrocities and
unite to defeat the insurgents.
Ndume made the appeal in a statement he issued in Abuja on
Wednesday.
The Federal lawmaker was reacting to reports of weekend
attacks in Ngoshe village, Gwoza Local Government Area and Mussa community in
Askira-Uba Local Government Areas of Borno State.
Recall that in the two separate incidents, the insurgents killed
five farmers in Ngoshe and Mussa villages over the weekend.
It was gathered that of those killed, two were Muslims in
Ngoshe while the three killed in Mussa were Christians.
“It is unethical and unconscionable for any media outlet to
drive the narrative that Christians are the targets of these attacks by the
terror group in Borno, or anywhere in the North Eastern part of Nigeria.
“The forces behind these mindless killings are blind to
faith and tribe. We should avoid this dangerous profiling which can distract
us. It has the tendency of doing us more harm,” he said.
