Boko Haram is a fraud - Buhari

A statement from Gen Buhari signed by his media aide, Shehu Garba.

No religion allows for the killing of children in school dormitory, in markets and places of worship. They have nothing to do with religion. They are terrorists and we are going to deal with them as they deal with terrorists anywhere," he announced.
