'Boko Haram Is An Ideology Built On Falsehood'- Governor Shettima
Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima, has described Boko Haram as an ideology built on falsehood which cannot stand the test of time.
The governor said this on Tuesday in Maiduguri, in reaction to the recent bombings and abduction of some female students of the Government Girls Secondary School (GGSC), Chibok.
According to him, the insurgents would not emerge victorious in their continued killings and maiming of innocent citizens.
"They can burn our physical infrastructure, but they cannot destroy our souls" Shettima said. "We are going to survive and rebuild our lives because truth will always triumph over falsehood".
Shettima, who condemned the abduction of the female students, described it as a national tragedy.
"The abduction of innocent girls is also a trial from God, and we will overcome it soon" he said. "Our hearts go to the parents of the abducted girls, because it is a tragedy that has befallen all of us".
The governor expressed the believe that the abducted girls would soon be rescued by security operatives.
"Security agents are working very hard to rescue the girls. Hopefully the girls will be rescued in a very short while" he added.
