Beware of Boko Haram, Bishop warns Elechi


From Nigeria-

As the Ebonyi State government proposed to establish schools for Almajiris in the state, the governor has been warned to be aware and alert, so as not to put the state in great danger of breeding Boko Haram and the likes of Osama Bin Laden.

The warning was issued by Bishop of Afikpo Dioceses Anglican Communion Rt. Rev. Paul Udogu went he presented his presidential address during the Diocese’s second synod at St Paul Anglican church, Afikpo.

He described the intention of the state government as a dangerous move to the socio-political, economic and cultural existence of Ebonyi state and a subtle move to Islamise the state, adding that he would not want to believe that the state government was ignorant of the dangers associated with the proposed action.

According to him, “one would expect the Chief Martin Elechi-led government of Ebonyi state to make efforts to rehabilitate all the dilapidated public schools and raise the fallen standard of education in the state instead of venturing into Almajiri School that will cause more problems in the state.”
