Senator Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South Senatorial District, has stated that Boko Haram terrorists operate without regard for religious beliefs, targeting Christians, Muslims, and even those who identify with neither faith.
The lawmaker emphasized the importance of national unity in the fight against terrorism and cautioned against religious profiling of victims.
He also urged the media and the general public to refrain from interpreting Boko Haram’s actions through a religious lens, stressing the need to stay focused on defeating the insurgency.
Ndume made the remarks in a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja.
His comments came in response to recent attacks over the weekend in Borno State, where terrorists struck Ngoshe village in Gwoza Local Government Area and Mussa community in Askira-Uba Local Government Area.
In the two separate incidents, five farmers lost their lives. According to reports, two of the victims in Ngoshe were Muslims, while the three killed in Mussa were Christians highlighting the indiscriminate nature of the attacks.
“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.
