Fani-Kayode gave the warning while reacting to the radical sect’s admission that they were responsible for the recent multiple attacks in Plateau State.
To this, the ex-minister said that the threats by the sect did not hold sway for all Christians. According to him, “we cannot all be intimidated into a gutless cowering silence.… The more the bloodshed, the more our faith in God is strengthened”.
Fani-Kayode, however warned Boko Haram insurgents that they should not mistake the peace exhibited by Christians as cowardice. “We are slow to anger but irresistible in battle. The blood of the saints shall be avenged by the living God,” he said. “He is a consuming fire.…He is the Lord God of hosts and he is irresistible in battle; he is a man of war and he guards his own jealously,” he added.
It would be recalled that Boko Haram had also recently admonished Christians to either “accept Islam or they will never have peace”.
