Zanna Bukar Mustapha, a legal practitioner who runs a school for orphans of members of the radical Islamist sect, Boko Haram on Sunday, said the only way to stop the Islamist from launching more mayhem in the country is to involve clerics from Saudi Arabia.
Mustapha, who owns a Maiduguri-based foundation called "The Future Prowess" made the revelation to Sunday Trust. He revealed that the sect’s leaders belonged to the Salafi movement which has its headquarters in the Islamic holy land.
The lawyer who expressed doubt about the involvement of the United States and other Western countries towards putting an end to insurgency insisted that the best way was to to bring clerics from outside the country who are of the same faith, who may have a better understanding of the faith which Boko Haram believe in, so that they can sit with them and dialogue.
He expressed optimism that these Saudi Arabian clerics would definitely come up with ways of engaging the sect, noting that not with arms but rather academically as they poses more superior arguments in judgment, in knowledge and in what the doctrine truly stands for.
