Boko Haram News Update in Nigeria
SSS Invites ‘Boko Haram Sponsor’ Alimodu Sheriff, Defends Gen Ihejirika
Sept 5, 2014 – SSS Invites ‘Boko Haram Sponsor’ Alimodu Sheriff, Defends Gen Ihejirika
Nigeria’s Secret Police said it is currently investigating Alimodu Sheriff, the former governor of Borno state over an allegation raised by Australian negotiator, Stephen Davis that he is a sponsor of Boko Haram sect.
Marilyn Ogar, Deputy Director, Public Relations of the DSS, stated this on Friday at a news conference.
Ogar also said that other allegations made by the Australian negotiator, Mr Stephen Davis, over sponsorship of the sect by some individuals were being investigated.
“As for the former governor, he has been invited twice by this service and the service has also invited him again,” she said.
The DSS spokeswoman, however, defended former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejerika, saying that it was uncharitable to accuse the ex-army chief of sponsoring the sect.
“I would want to say here that it is absolutely uncharitable for us as Nigerians to reward somebody who laid his life in pursuing this people – insurgents.
“During his time, the military succeeded in bringing down activities of insurgents in Kano, Okene and other parts of Nigeria to a halt and pushing them to Sambisa forest.
“To say the same man, because he is no longer in service, is sponsoring Boko Haram is a wicked thing. That should not be the way we reward people who laid down their lives to provide a secured environment for us,” she said
What is the outcome of the previous investigations about Ali Modu Sheriff and Senator Ndume. Something is not adding up here.
One day God will expose all of una.

r, Stephen Davies, as a father to three daughters and negotiator for the release of our Chibok daughters, has discharged his moral duty to humanity and the families of the innocent lives lost and displaced. Now it’s for Jonathan and the politicians to square up.
However, from the claims by the State Security Services (SSS) Department, it appears that the allegations may soon be swept under the carpet, as is always usual in Nigeria. Otherwise, how and why should the SSS claim that he’s not hired by Government? Fine, the SSS should tell us how did Davis find his way to Boko Haram (BH) camp? Whether he’s hired or not, as a Christian, foreigner and a neutral person, he endangered his life and met face-to-face with BH and therefore in the best position to obtain information, no matter how imperfect, than any security intelligence outfit operating from office.
Whether we agree or disagree with him, the truth is that the real BH are the sponsors, financiers and collaboraters and not the commanders and their foot soldiers at Sambisa camps. And if we sincerely and honestly want to end this BH thing, we must simply go after these sponsors, financiers and collaborators. Time is runing out before they link up to Al-Qaeda , Al-Shabiba ,ISIS and terror groups as Davies warned.
On other hand, I absolutely concur with the Nigerian Bar Association (Maiduguri/Borno State Chapter) on its resolve to drag the alleged BH sponsors to The Hague.

When General Ihegirika was retired from service, the Northern caliphate headed by their Boko Haram sponsors heaved a sigh of relief. They even shamelessly came here to the United States to accuse him of decimating their people whereas he was decimating the Boko Haram and dared to drag him to international court of justice for doing his job to curtail terrorism in Nigeria. Now he is being accused of being a Boko Haram sponsor by one hired negotiator. How did this negotiator gain access to Boko Haram? Who guided him to Boko Haram camp? Is it not those who threatened to drag Ihejirika to world court for killing the Boko Haram terrorists? From a reliable source, one of them posed as a Boko Haram member and made the allegation. Nigeria is a mirage.

The reason why some ****** are pointing accusing hands of sponsoring boko haram is because they are angry that Ihenjirika as army chief of staff was able to curtail the activities of boko haram during bhis time. Now you ***** tell me, if Ihenjirika was from the north could you *****
All these innocent bloods the so called boko haram have and are still wasting will hunt all those sponsors of this sect. The question in the minds of people all over the world is, “Sponsors of boko haram are well known and their activities, what have Jonathan’s administration have done to bring them to book? Besides, few months ago, the world saw the arrest of some top army and retired generals who gives information of the plans of the federal govt, where are those generals and other boko haram informants? Are they in jail? Show Nigerians proof of their incarcerations. Who is fooling who? Why is Jonathan such a coward President Nigeria has ever had?
Soon most if not all those chibok girls captured kidnapped by boko harah since April of this year will start delivering bastards one after the other. Why is Jonathan such a coward to protect lives band property of Nigerians because of 2015 political ambition? Who are Jonathan’s advisers? Why would they be in his administration when they cannot advice him on the essence of good governance?
Enough is enough my fellow Nigerians. Jonathan’s administration has brought so much shame those of us here in the U.S that citizens from smaller African and other countries of the world ridicules us in our various offices as soon as they learnt we are Nigerians. God is watching all of you.

For a terrorist to disclose his sponsor in the heat of battle can never happen. This is to distract the innocent Nigerians from the actual fact. Pls let come together to restore the peace we enjoyed some yrs back.
