Insurgency cannot divide Nigeria – NSCIA

The Nigeria Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) said on Wednesday that insurgency would “never divide” the country.

“Insurgency cannot divide us as a country. It can never divide us,” the Vice-President of the council, Alhaji Dauda Ajagu, told the NAN in Onitsha, Anambra.

Ajagu stressed that no amount of threat by insurgents especially the Boko Haram sect, would disintegrate Nigeria.

He urged the Federal Government to intensity action against the sect as it was tarnishing the image of Islam and the country’s quest for development.

The cleric lauded the government and the international community on the successes recorded so far in the fight against insurgents in the country and the West Africa sub-region.

“Islamic clerics are continuously praying for the peace and unity of this country because the unity of the country is not negotiable.”

Ajagu also said that clerics were still praying for the rescue and safe return of the abducted school girls in Borno.
