One of the northern Nigeria's most influential Muslim leader has called on Nigerians to defend themselves against attacts by Boko Haram militants, according to BBC, the Emir of Kano, Muhammed Sanusi said this at a prayer meeting last Friday.
''These terrorists slaughter our boys and abduct our girls to force them into slavery. People should not be afraid of them because of the recent success they seem to have achieved. People should not sit idle and say prayer is the only solution. People should be made aware of the importance of being in a state of preparedness and make sure they acquire what they need to protect themselves. People must not assume that the crisis will not reach their area. If it comes, we are asking God to give us fortitude, but if He wishes to take martyrs from amongst us, we should be ready to give our lives.'' he said.
