Soldiers Told Us Those Behind Boko Haram - Archbishop by 9jagistonline(m): 4:49pm On Jan 12, 2015
A senior Nigerian cleric, Archbishop Samuel Uche has alleged that Fulani and Kanuri were behind the Islamist group, Boko Haram, which has killed a number of Nigerians in the last five years, in a bid to seize power.
The Prelate of the Methodist Church of Nigeria disclosed this while speaking on Sunday during the Armed Forces Remembrance Day Interdenominational Service held at National Ecumenical Centre in Abuja.
He made his comment in the presence of President Goodluck Jonathan, the Senate President David Mark, the military top brass and other important personalities.
According to Uche, soldiers waging war against the insurgents had disclosed to him and other bishops that apart from some collaborators from Chad, Libya and Somalia, 95 percent of those waging war against Nigeria were Fulani and Kanuri, Daily Trust reports.

He explained that those sabotaging the war against terrorism are within the political elites, while others are within the armed forces and other institutions.
The archbishop said: “Some shameless individuals and groups make such utterances and use grievous situations as a tool for politicking, blaming the government in power as doing nothing to solve the problem of insurgency. Who is deceiving who? I believe Nigerians are wiser and our people know that it’s sabotage that’s making it impossible for our Armed Forces to recover the Chibok girls.
“Let me reveal to you this evening and at this important service at this juncture that some of our soldiers, because you know we Bishops have impact in the society, we relate with soldiers and all manner of people. And some of the people in warfront have confided in us that apart from some mercenaries from Chad, Libya as well as Somalia, 95 percent of those fighting our country are of Fulani and Kanuri origin.
“They’re aggrieved because they want power at all costs. They believe Nigeria belongs to them alone and that they’re born to rule while others follow. It is deceit.”
Speaking further, he said those behind insurgency want to Islamise Nigeria and build a parallel caliphate different from the Sokoto Caliphate.

I still watch your colleague video MBAKA few hours ago when he was saying almost the same thing you said in the presence of Patient Jonathan but later fight his conscience the following month and said the truth.

we did not expect you to say something different while those BOLDed up were on attendance.


Jonathan himself did not trust any clerics again .....


anyway HELL FIRE IS REAL according to religious knowledge
