A
member of the Boko Haram sect has said that they are against Western
education because it challenges the supremacy of Allah and most aspects
of Geography, Biology and Sociology contradict the divine order which
sees God as the source of all being.
While
being paraded at the headquarters of the Department of State Service,
DSS, in Abuja, 35-year-old Yasir Ibrahim Salihu, (a.k.a Dan Birni), one
of the suspected killers of Sheikh Auwal Adam Albani and his wife and
son said certain things in Western education contradicts the very
existence of Allah.
In his
confessional statement, Salihu, a graduate of English Literature from
the Ahmadu Bello University, ABU), Zaria in Kaduna State said he is a
member of the Boko Haram which he joined in 2009 after its late leader,
Muhammad Yusuf visited Zaria to deliver a lecture.
He
said the late Yusuf was against Western education because he said it
contradicted the Holy Quran, adding that the Darwin Theory of Evolution
contradicts the very existence of Allah, even as he described
sociologists as “free thinkers” who do not believe that there is God.
According to Salihu, "in Geography, certain things are against the existence of Allah. In Biology, you have the theory of evolution. Sociology
is about free thinkers too and they don’t believe in the existence of
Allah. So, all these made me kick against western education."
The
Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Mohammed Abubakar has, however,
assured that security agencies are working towards ensuring the safety
and security of students and academic institutions across the country.
