Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Most Revd Matthew Kukah, on Wednesday, said the Federal Government has failed to handle the issue of security which it promised to do before taking over power.

He said this during his virtual presentation to the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission in Washington, DC, on the persecution of Christians in Nigeria by armed extremist groups in the North.

Kukah said the people are yet to see any tangible move towards tackling Nigeria’s insecurity which, according to him, has a religious undertone.


He stated that the people were agitated, adding that there was palpable fear and tension across the country.

The clergy, in his testimony before the US Congress Commission, claimed religious violence against Christians in Nigeria was a recurring experience of many years, but the spate of the attacks has risen steadily in the last 10 years.




According to Bishop Kukah, the extremists target mainly Christian schools in the North, “indoctrinate the children and end up converting the girls to wives, cooks, spies, sexual slaves and so on.

“The story of Leah Sharibu suggests very clearly that there is, in many instances, a relationship between the conditions in which people find themselves and the faith they believe in.”

According to Bishop Kukah, “Last year, 2020, some of our Priests in the North were killed. The extremists kidnapped our children and forcefully converted them to Muslims.


“We have issued statements and called the attention of the government to our plight. We have also reached out to let the government know that we are willing to cooperate towards the greatness of our country.”

The Bishop, who is the Secretary of the National Peace Committee, accused President Muhammadu Buhari of deliberately appointing more people of his ethnicity and faith into political offices.



He said, “The North, even the whole country is invaded by armed bandits, kidnappers, etc who attack communities at will. The fact that the government seems to be either helpless or uninterested in dealing decisively with these people has added more confusion.

“And the contradiction here is that the President has blatantly pursued nepotistic and policies that show very clearly his preferences for men and women of his faith.”

The Bishop of Sokoto Diocese also said “for the first time in Nigeria the people heading three arms of government; the President, Senate President Speaker, and Chief Justice are all Muslims. These are all fine gentlemen, but that is not the point. The level of between Christians and Muslims has been exacerbated. This kind of situation has never happened before.


“What is significant here is that we are in a democracy; with weak structures, and institutions. These are existential issues. So, we require practical assistance that can help us and our children.”

The United States has its own internal insecurity.

Anybody saying Buhari is helpless in dealing with those Fulani ragtag bandits(bokoharam) or Fulani terrorists is deceiving himself unless the word "helpless" now has another meaning.

Buhari simply does NOT want to deal with the bandits(bokoharam) because na him & his men dey sponsor them..As simple as that!

Thank you Bishop, Buhari is a Terrorist just like the first guy to comment. They are Terrorist from religion of piss and shit.

Our ethnic & religious hypocrisy has finally manifested, the chicken has come home to roost.

Daddy the Idiotic dullarrd some unfortunate souls voted for, thinks that MNK whom he the dullarrd is not even fit to loose his shoe lace is the problem of the zoo; hence the dullarrd went to Kenya and kidnapped MNK.

Meanwhile, Gumi is collecting billions everyday to bandits that kills with impunity while the dullarrd is so happy paying the ransom.

Kukah always on point

Saying it as it is.

The cows from the grazing routes of bushman dan fodio from futa jalon your nomadic terroristic culture is in extreme jeopardy.

Mark my words you all will perish .

Your waterloo is at sight.

Buhari/Osinbajo, Atiku/Peter Obi, Fulani Government Indeed, Adesina & Abati made more noise than these in their own time, Today, I believe they have both seen the light?

everyone knows this government is sympathetic to terrorism and jihad. it is just so bad that some people are playing the ostrich and cheering the status quo.

So his meetings has no hidden agenda, he has also gone to ask rock to meet buhari with Catholic bishops

This is not enough excuse to exonorate buhari evil

President for all, someone that hasn’t even settled his own state wahala will come & help someone that hates him wahala? You will wait from now till infinity, why do you think the constitution mandates a Governor, & Local Government?, or your naive assumption whispered to you that it was President Buhari that drafted the Constitution? Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
