Christians in Boko Haram: "It's a lie from the pit of hell"

Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has lambasted Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State for claiming that Christians are among members of Boko Haram.

Zulum stated this in an event in Lagos, where he also claimed that Asians, foreigners and other Africans are part of the terror group.

“I’m from Borno State, and many of our children are into Boko Haram. I’m not denying the fact. But again, they are being sponsored by many people across the world. Among Boko Haram, we have white men, Asians, Africans, Muslims and Christians,” the governor stated.

Reacting to the claim of Christians being part of the group, Fani-Kayode took to Twitter to fault it on Monday.

He described it as a “lie from the pit of hell”.

The ex-minister wrote, “The allegation that there are Christians in Boko Haram by Gov. Zulum of Borno state is a lie from the pit of hell.

“No real Christian will be in the ranks of an Islamic terror group whose objective is to wipe Christianity off the face of the earth.

“I have lost respect for Zulum.”
