President Muhammadu Buhari• Urges Muslims worldwide to speak against trend
• 15 die in Borno suicide bombings, says police commissioner
President Muhammadu Buhari has blamed the seeming inability to tame the activities of insurgents to the role of clerics whose insidious preachings continue to attract members into their fold.
A statement signed yesterday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said President Buhari spoke in Jordan at a security meeting hosted by King Abdullah II where he urged Muslim leaders worldwide to speak up against the hateful violence committed by deranged people in the name of Islam.
Buhari, who reiterated the commitment of Nigeria to playing a leading role in bringing together countries of the West African sub-region in a collective security arrangement, said that with what the nation had gone through, it was ready to share the experiences with a view to fashioning out comprehensive action plans in tackling the scourge of violent extremism in the region.
