Boko Haram has killed more Muslims – Deputy Majority Senate Leader - Abdul Ningi

Deputy Majority Leader of the Senate, Abdul Ningi, has dispelled the belief that Boko Haram is an Islamic sect whose goal is to kill Christians in the country.

Ningi, who spoke to in Uyo, venue of the Senate Retreat on Tuesday, said the violent group had not been selective in their targets, saying many Muslims, including his uncle, had been killed by Boko Haram.

He said, “I am a victim of Boko Haram. My uncle was killed by the sect; he was a former Deputy Inspector-General of Police.

“So, if people are saying that because you are Hausa, Muslim or a northerner and that you are in sympathy with the activities of the sect, I will say it is not true.

“If it is true that we are in sympathy with the sect, how come the statistics on the ground shows that more Muslims have been killed in the attacks by the sect than the Christians?”

I wonder where that stats is?
