Following the attack that was launched on the government Science Secondary School in Kankara local government area of Kastina State, the Boko Haram terrorists have claimed responsibility.
This was revealed through audio released by Abubakar Shekau, the Boko Haram leader.
According to the audio, they carried out the operation to stop “un-Islamic practices such as Western education.”
He added that “What happened in Katsina was done to promote Islam and discourage un-Islamic practices as Western education is not the type of education permitted by Allah and his Holy Prophet,”.
“They are also not teaching what Allah and his Holy Prophet commanded. They are rather destroying Islam. It may be subtle, but Allah, the Lord of the skies and earth, knows whatever is hidden. May Allah promote Islam. May we die as Muslims. In a nutshell, we are behind what happened in Katsina,” the leader said, according to a report by Daily Trust.
The Governor of the state Aminu Bello Masari has however assured all, that the boys would be rescued and brought back as soon as possible.
