Minister of Steel
in the Second Republic, Paul Unongo, said assumption that Boko Haram
sect was made up of only Muslims from the North was wrong because
Christians, armed robbers and politicians have now crept into the Boko
Haram-related violence.
Unongo stated this yesterday on Voice of America, Hausa Service monitored in Abuja.
“Our problem is this issue of Boko Haram, some think it is only Northern Nigeria’s problem but it is not true.
Armed robbers,
politicians from the North and South have joined Boko Haram in
disguise. They think this is a Northern problem but some Southerners
were arrested and there are Christians and Muslims in Boko Haram. The
Boko Haram we knew were not armed robbers,” he said in Hausa.
