God is using Boko Haram to punish Nigerians for their sins – Sultan of Sokoto

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar lll, has stated that God is using insurgency

to punish Nigerians for their sins.

Violent Extremism for Peaceful Coexistence” in Abuja, on Thursday.

insurgency would come to an end when Nigerians stop committing sin.

He said:

“The security challenge is our problem. The Holy Quran is a message to mankind. If we cannot

listen to what the Bible and Quran have taught us and we continue in our bad ways, what do we

expect? “It is part of the punishment we are receiving based on our sins.

If we can stop committing sin and abide by God’s words, things will change. “It is part of the

punishment we are receiving based on our sins. If we can stop committing sin and abide by

God’s words, things will change.”

The monarch urged Nigerians to live in harmony and stop creating problems for themselves,

he also urged Nigerians not to be afraid, stressed that the country has all it takes to defeat insurgency.
