Head of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, has dared President Muhammadu Buhari to publish the names of Boko Haram sponsors.

Kukah who spoke at the priestly ordination of five deacons at the Holy Family Cathedral, released his sermon on Sunday, the weekend of Nigeria’s independence celebration.

According to the cleric, Nigeria is a broken country decomposing from within while “lives are hemorrhaging by the day”.

The bishop decried the Buhari-led administration’s reluctance to expose the sponsors of the terrorists.

“We have become experts at burying the dead, but refuse to ask why the killings continue. We cannot overstate the reality. It is clear that neither politics nor economic models can fix the country”, PM News quoted him as saying.

Continuing, he said: “The federal government has told us it is not ready to publicise the names of those funding Boko Haram. We cannot go on like this. Questioning existential threats to humanity is the apostolate that we Priests are called to.

“We know that this road is dangerous, it is rocky, it is treacherous, it takes lives, but it is all too familiar. The bodies and the emotions of men and women are irretrievably broken.

“Our people, fleeing their homes after over ten years have now turned refugee camps into their habitats. Our identity as citizens is being traded for the status of migrants and refugees.”
