The Nigerian government has reacted to comments by Mathew Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese in the Northwest, that only Christian schools were targeted by terrorists for abduction, saying that he spoke without facts and figures.
Garba Shehu, media aide to the President Muhammadu Buhari in a statement said, the Bishop’s assertion that only Christian schools are being targeted by bandits or terrorists is not supported by the facts on the ground.
Shehu said that victims of insecurity in the country cut across all strata of the society.
