Boko Haram Swap Deal: Bishop Ezeokafor, Okpaleke React

                                                                

The Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese His Lordship Most Rev. Dr. Paulinus Ezeokafor and the Catholic Bishop of Ahiara Diocese His Lordship Most Rev. Dr. Peter Eberechukwu Okpaleke have reacted over the recent Boko Haram Swap deal claim saying that giving in to their wish will amount to promotion of criminality, rascality and break down of law and order.


The two catholic Clerics who spoke to the reporter in a telephone interview said that agreeing to their ungodly desire would not only spell doom to Nigeria Nation but would as well engineer other disgruntled and ill-informed groups to lay claim and ask for what is not right before man and God and also pave way for atrocities of various degrees.

Hear them, ‘it is not proper to start to negotiate with faceless people because we know that they have no right to what they are doing, therefore, there will be no ground for any negotiation whatsoever. They should allow the children to go; because they have no business with them. Our stand is that Federal Government should ignore them and forge ahead with whatever they are doing to ensure the release of the abducted Chibok School Girls; it is not proper for the government in any form at all to start negotiating with them because that will be enthroning criminality, because eventually, they will come up with another antics’, they said

The duo said that the Church has continued to say that as a nation and as a people nobody should have any reason whatsoever to start to dialogue with them, adding that their act was against God and humanity. ‘There is no reason any body should be made to undertake compulsory conversion into any religion. It is barbaric, absurd and condemnable. So, we the Church have resorted to praying to God to touch the hearts of the Boko Haram or whoever behind or in any way involved in the abduction of the innocent school children for the onward release.
