"Boko haram were fighting a GOOD cause and he would have join them" - Ex. Governor of Katsina

 Gen. Lawrence Onoja

Can you believe this... A former Military Governor of Katsina State, Gen. Lawrence Onoja (rtd.), has been reported to have said that the Islamist sect  Boko Haram were fighting a good cause.




Onoja further said that he would have joined the sect if they had started killing election riggers, who carry ballot boxes home, thumb-print and announce results from their houses instead of resorting to killing innocent people.

He made this known in Minna, Niger State, while contributing to steps towards achieving peace in the country, especially in the northern region, pointing out that the sect has “a genuine case”.

He said:

“If you look at it from the beginning, they (Boko Haram) have genuine case. I have told people that I would have been a member of Boko Haram before they started killing innocent people."
