“You can’t kill the innocent in churches or in mosques & shout Allahu Akbar,’ -Buhari

President Buhari today said the achievement recorded by the military against the Boko Haram sect lately can be traced to the battle against corruption in the military. As per him, corruption was to a great extent in charge of the failure of the Nigerian military to rapidly crush Boko Haram.  Buhari said this while talking with Egypt’s Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmed El-Tayeb who visited him at the state house Abuja today May eighteenth.

“When we curbed corruption and removed the injustice in the military, we began to make progress,’’ he said.

President Buhari said it was against Islam to carry out terror in God’s name. He noticed that the war against terrorism was likewise a war against injustice, and should be bolstered by Islam and all the real religions.

“You can’t kill the innocent in churches or in mosques and shout Allahu Akbar,’’ he said.
