Why Buhari must release names of Boko Haram sponsors - Kukah
Meanwhile, the Catholic Bishop of the Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, has raised concerns about the refusal of President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to release names of sponsors of Boko Haram terrorists.
The cleric while delivering a sermon at the Priestly Ordination of Five Deacons at the Holy Family Cathedral alleged that the administration is not sincere in dealing with terrorists killing Nigerians.
Kukah on Sunday, October 3, wondered why it is difficult for the government to release names of those sponsoring terrorism. The bishop also declared that Nigeria is a broken country that's decomposing from within, adding that people cannot go on like this.
