The Chairman, Association of African Traditional Religion, Nigeria and Overseas, Lagos State branch, Chief Olusegun Elegushi, has urged President Goodluck Jonathan to, a matter or urgency, unmask the sponsors of Boko Haram sect.
Elegushi, who made the charge on Tuesday, during the Eid-el-Fitri celebration in Lagos, also condemned last Friday’s bombing of the United Nations building in Abuja, describing it as a “national embarrassment.â€
He expressed concern over the spate of bombings in the country allegedly perpetrated by the Boko Haram sect, noting that if not quickly checked, it could disintegrate the country.
According to the Opemoluwa of Ikateland in Eti Osa Local Government Area of Lagos State, the perpetrators should rather seek for avenues of dialogue with the leaders on the problems confronting this country in general, while stressing on the need for all to render assistance in providing solution to such serious problems through peaceful means and dialogue.
“While we condole the families of those who lost their lives, we would like to reiterate our call on the Federal Government to, as a matter of urgency, investigate the incident and bring the culprits to book in order to prevent any future recurrence of such act of violence in this country,†he added.
