Mohammed stated this on Monday at One Division, Bukavu Barracks in Kano State during its yearly conference.
He said, “The program is in respect to national security and coming up with narratives now tell the public that the insinuation from the Boko Haram or other criminal elements that has religious undertones is not a representation of the religion to address such misinformation.
“The theme for this national week is promoting national security through constructive dialogue, religious leaders have a greater role in bringing stability in the country, so we hope and pray that God will help us for peaceful coexistence to come back to this country.”
Although the lecture was targeted towards religious tolerance and enhancing peaceful coexistence, the conference was to also address issues bordering on security.
