The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has dismissed the assertion of President Muhammadu Buhari with regards to which religion are the most victims of Boko Haram insurgency.

Boko Haram terrorists which has been in existence for over a decade has killed and displaced thousands of Nigerians.

With its name translated to mean “Western education is sin”, the terror group are reportedly on a mission to forcefully turn the country which is a secular state to that of Islam.

But Mr Buhari while citing examples in an opinion article claimed the Islamic terror group were not out to islamize the country because most of its victims are those who share the same religious faith with the terrorists.

“Indeed, it is the reality that some 90 percent of all Boko Haram’s victims have been Muslims: they include a copycat abduction of over 100 Muslim schoolgirls, along with their single Christian classmate; shootings inside mosques; and the murder of two prominent imams,” Mr Buhari claimed.

But in its reaction, the Christian body disagreed with the submission of the president, claiming Christians are mostly the victims of the insurgency ravaging the Northeast region.

The body’s Director of Legal and Public Affairs, Kwamkur Samuel, expressed disappointment and challenged the president to present the reports which made him arrived at the conclusion.

Northern Nigeria is 90% Muslim, it is only common sense that the victims of Boko Haram will be predominantly Muslims, and 90% of them don't practice Islam, only when it comes to marrying 4 wives.
