Boko Haram ‘funded through CBN’ —Australian negotiator reveals •Obsolete weapons hinder Nigerian military

Boko Haram ‘funded through CBN’ —Australian negotiator reveals •Obsolete weapons hinder Nigerian military

IT was made known on Saturday that a large chunk of the funds used by the terrorist group, Boko Haram passes through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), unknown to many officials.
According to latest reports, this disclosure was made by an Australian, Dr Stephen Davis, who had close links with the terrorist group and had worked as a go-between for government during negotiation.
Davis, who said he was disclosing all he knew about the Islamist group because he could no longer bear what the kidnapped Chibok girls were going through, affirmed that Boko Haram commanders told him that a senior CBN official (names withheld) was fully involved in the funding of the insurgency.
Davis, in an interview with an online publication, TheCable, said Western countries could not trace the majority of the source of funding to Boko Haram because “it is done through a legal channel; through the gatekeeper; the CBN, and that makes it very easy to cover up.
“One of the biggest of suppliers of arms and military uniforms to the JAS (Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad), better known as Boko Haram, currently lives in Cairo, Egypt. He is the recipient of money sent by political sponsors from Nigeria. The funds go through the CBN’s financial system and appear to be legal transaction.”
Nyanya bombing suspects’ relative involvedDr Davis spoke further that three of the suspected masterminds of the recent bombings in Nyanya area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, were relatives of the said CBN insider who facilitated movement of funds for the terrorists.
“Meanwhile, the CBN official who handles the funding is an uncle to three of those arrested in connection with the Nyanya bombings. The three boys lived with him. They were arrested by the Department of State Security (DSS) after the bombings, but they do not seem to have been interrogated about their uncle in CBN. Or if they have given up information about their uncle, then, the SSS has not moved against him.
“Also, a senior official of CBN, who recently left the bank, was very close to Sodiq Aminu Ogwuche, the mastermind of the Nyanya bombings who also schooled in Sudan. Boko Haram commanders said Ogwuche’s wife used to visit this top official in his office at the headquarters of the bank in Abuja before the Nyanya bombings. They were very close,” he said.
Why he opened upDavis said he decided to come out to speak now because the Nigerian authorities were not acting fast and that he was heart-broken by the evils being done to the Chibok girls.
“I have three daughters. I just cannot stand the thought of what those girls are passing through. I have spoken to an escapee who described how she was being raped for 40 days by militants. I can’t stand it. It is heart-breaking.
“Nigerian authorities must act decisively now,” he said.
B/Haram also uses Chibok girls to get moneyDavies also opened up on how members of the group may have been using the abducted girls in their captive as bargaining chips to extort money from government.
He said the terrorists were now in groups and each of the groups had some of the girls, who had also been divided into groups, in its custody.
According to another report by Daily Mail, the Australian expert disclosed that but for the money politics among the groups within Boko Haram, he would have helped the Nigerian government to secure release of about 60 of the girls.
Davies said he was within 15 minutes of achieving this when a rival group of Boko Haram members got wind of the huge money involved and moved the group of girls away from where it was supposed to be met.
The foreign media added that “the 63-year-old former Canon Emeritus at Coventry Cathedral in the United Kingdom (UK), who has extensive contacts with African terrorist groups, had been negotiating with Boko Haram commanders for some time before they agreed to release the girls.
“Mr Davis was asked to come to Nigeria by the country’s president for his hostage negotiation expertise, after previously brokering a truce between violent rebels and the government in the Niger Delta in 2004, when he was working for the oil company, Shell.”
According to the report, which also quoted ABC’s Radio National, Davies himself explained that “I made a few phone calls to the Boko Haram commanders and they confirmed they were in possession of the girls.
“They told me they’d be prepared to release some as a goodwill gesture towards a peace deal with the government. So, I went to Nigeria on the basis of being able to secure their release.
“This is a long process of building trust on both sides. There are several groups to deal with as the girls are held in several camps. This makes any thought of a rescue highly improbable. To attempt to rescue one group would only endanger the others.
“Every day, there was the possibility of the release of the girls.”
He added that upon negotiating strict conditions for the girls’ release, the rescue mission was sabotaged by “another group who hoped to cash in on the monetary reward being offered by Nigerian police for their retrieval.
“We travelled for four-and-a-half hours to reach them, but 15 minutes before we arrived, they were kidnapped again by another group who wanted to cash in on the reward.”
Obsolete arms militating against forces –ReportMeanwhile, insiders in military circles have proffered reasons for a slow start of full Nigerian military operations against the dreaded Islamic sect.
Details contained in a report submitted to the Nigerian authorities and which was examined at a recent top security meeting indicated that the Nigerian military was left with no new arms procurement since 1982 after the Shehu Shagari-led administration embarked upon the last massive arms procurement.
A source further told Sunday Tribune that “the military had not been empowered since the Shagari administration; every other regime after Shagari was involved in regime protection. This is the first time since after Shagari when the military is being fully equipped.”
Role of oppositionAnother source also stated that internal opposition elements had also informed the slow operations of the military, as some of the politicians introduced ethnic and religious insinuations to the initial operations in the North-East.
Another reason for the slow start, according to the report, was the fact that the Nigerian military has largely not seen war in the last 20 years or so. It was also gathered that a good number of the men and officers who participated in Sierra Leone and Liberian wars had retired.
It was also indicated that terrorism, a global trend in recent years, is new to the Nigerian military and that the architecture to fight insurgency is not the same as for traditional warfare.
“Nigerians are not aware of the challenges the military is facing. The infrastructure that need restructuring are massive. Right now, the military is being repositioned and I am sure that when it is ready, it won’t take a long time for it to rout the insurgents,” another source stated.
Effect of coupsBesides, the technical analysis of the situation indicated that the military was practically demobilised as a result of two coups in the past. It was gathered that the Mamman Vatsa coup of 1987 saw to the demobilisation of the Air Force because reports had indicated that officers of the Force were to be massively deployed to bomb strategic places during the coup.
The Gideon Orkar coup of April 1990 was also said to have brought another albatross on the military as the Armoured Brigade was said to have been largely demobilised after the aborted coup.
Sources said since the two major aborted coups, the regimes continued with the implementation of regime protection policy.
“You don’t lay the blame for security lapses on the administration of President Jonathan. He is the one who is now empowering the military and ensuring that it maintains the rules of engagement and respect human rights at all times. We are assured that a more professional military will emerge out of the ongoing reforms. There would certainly be some dare devil squads which will deal decisively with anyone who plans to threaten the territorial integrity of Nigeria,” the source stated.
Excerpts from the interview
Can you share with us your experience with Boko Haram leaders? Let me take you back a bit. I specialise in negotiation. It may interest you to know that I have been involved in peace negotiations in Nigeria since 2004 when President Olusegun Obasanjo invited me to intervene in the Niger Delta crisis. With a local Nigerian colleague, I spoke with Asari Dokubo and took him to Obasanjo at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. Because Asari is a Muslim, the Muslim boys in the north heard about me and warmed up to me. I did a report in 2005 on the threat of extremism among young northern Muslims. Obasanjo’s security chiefs dismissed the report with a wave of the hand. They said no such thing existed. In 2007, President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, who desired to end militancy in the Niger Delta invited me and made me presidential envoy. I toured all the northern states. I went to the country’s borders. I came back with a report that there were some budding sects in the north. The national security adviser (NSA) at the time, Gen. Sarki Mukhtar, dismissed the report. He said they didn’t exist. A succession of NSAs dismissed all these reports and allowed the groups to flourish.
In all your discussions, did they name their sponsors? They named the man who lives in Cairo. He is of the Kanuri tribe. He passes arms, ammunition and uniforms to them. The CBN official who handles the funding (name withheld by TheCable for legal reasons) is an uncle to three of those arrested in connection with the Nyanya bombings. The three boys lived with him.
They were arrested by the SSS (Department of State Security) after the bombings but they are yet to be interrogated about their uncle. The official still works with the CBN. He is still there. He works in currency operations. He knows how to handle the transaction in a way that it can never be traced. Western countries are frustrated that they cannot trace the funding.
How can they when it is passed on legally, through the gatekeeper, through the CBN? Also, a senior official of CBN, who recently left the bank, was very close to Sodiq Aminu Ogwuche, the mastermind of the Nyanya bombings who also schooled in Sudan. Ogwuche’s wife used to visit this official in his office at the headquarters in Abuja before the bombings.
They were very close. Don’t forget that the CBN official who handles the transactions also used to report to his superior, the official who recently left the bank. Also, there is a politician who was supplying operational vehicles for the suicide bombers.
How did you become involved in the negotiation for the release of the Chibok schoolgirls?Because I had built trust among the militants, I made calls to them when I heard about the abductions. They confirmed to me that the girls were with them. I came to Nigeria in late April (the girls were abducted on April 14). I told the president I would try to intervene and help get the girls out. He said he would give me the needed support if I wanted. However, what I discovered was that thrice we tried to get the girls released, and thrice my efforts were sabotaged. That was when I now realised that some politicians were also involved in the insurgency. There were remnants of those involved in the former peace deal as well as a political arm and what I call the ritual arm which specialises in butchering human beings.
While I was making efforts to get the girls released, the political backers of the group threatened that if I got 30 or 40 girls out, the militants would kidnap another 60 to replace them. I became very frustrated. They threatened that any commander of the group who agreed to participate in any dialogue would be slaughtered by other commanders. The political sponsors are very powerful because they supply the finances and the arms. Until they are cut off from the group, those girls will not be released. We are talking about 200 Chibok schoolgirls, but there are over 300 other girls that have been kidnapped. There are many young men that they also kidnapped and turned them against their families. They asked them to go and slaughter their family members and they are doing it. Nobody is talking about those ones. They are the new child soldiers.
What deal were you seeking under Jonathan’s mandate?The president wanted peace. He asked me to discuss with them so that we could arrive at the terms of peace. They came up with some terms that were acceptable and others that were not acceptable.
What were those terms?They wanted training for the widows of their deceased fighters. They asked the government to give these women cottage training. They, ironically, wanted education for the children of their deceased members. That is why I don’t call them Boko Haram (“Western education is a taboo”). They asked that the children be sent to school. They also wanted the government to rebuild villages that were destroyed by the security agencies. They asked for amnesty as well.
What terms were unacceptable?The president said he would not grant amnesty in the sense that they meant it. He said those who surrendered their arms would not be prosecuted, but those who continued to commit more crimes would face the law and would be charged with treason. They also wanted women and children who were being held in custody to be released. Their leaders that I spoke with were ready to accept the conditions. But the NSA then, Gen. Owoye Azazi, went vehemently against it. He said there should be no negotiation with terrorists. He completely turned the military against the peace deal I was working on, even though we were very close to bringing an end to the insurgency the same way we did it in the Niger Delta. The military then refused to back the deal. They succeeded in convincing the president not to accept it. I could understand where they were coming from: the security budget was like $6 billion and any peace deal would seriously reduce their budget.
How can we get these girls released?The first thing is to stop the bagman who supplies weapons and military uniforms. We know his name, location and associates. If the man is stopped, the slaughterers, the ritual arm of the group, would be demobilised. The girls can be released afterwards. This man controls these ritualists.
Was there really any deal to release the girls?Yes, there was. Some commanders of the group told me that they would first release 100 of the girls and that would be the first step towards dialogue. They needed a guarantee from President Jonathan that they would not be arrested or prosecuted if they showed up for dialogue. They agreed with me that if they did that and no one was arrested, then they would return to the camps to release the rest of the girls.

Malala’s Bulala and The Error of Terror

“Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword” – a timeless statement from the Holy Books.

For the United Nations to set aside a whole day for the celebration of the birth anniversary of a mere teenager, 17-year-old Pakistani terror survivor, Malala Yousafzai, the face and voice for girl-child education is, no doubt, a clear testimony to the fact that: bravery pays and the investment in a good cause has its own day of bounty harvest.

Malala’s Day, as approved by the UN, is 14th July of every year. And rather than visit the Queen of England for tea, sponge cake and Yorkshire pudding, or sit at table with some global eminent people for lavish sushi, or spicy masala curry; the budding Amazon, yesterday, literarily ventured into the dreaded and horrific Sambisa Forest, a sickening haven of the Boko Haram sect. She was there, via Nigeria’s seat of political power, Aso Rock Abuja, to share a pizza of hope with the Chibok missing bunch of abducted school girls, apparently a lost generation of her age grade!

There, face to face with President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria, Malala unequivocally told the truth to the helmsman and his advisors. Malala used peppered bulala (horse-whip) on world rulers who deny their people the good things of life, especially qualitative education and gainful employment. She also called the bluff of terror agents and their sponsors, urging them to stop killing and maiming in the name of Islam; a faith that translates as peaceful submission to the will of God (Allah).
To Malala, there is a gross error in terror propaganda. And she’s staking her life to fight this humongous odd. Terror bandleader Taliban once pumped hot lead into the heady youngster’s head barely two years ago, while commuting to school with colleagues. The Taliban, just like the Boko Haram, detests Western education.

Miraculously, through the ingenuity of science and technology which are twin offshoots of Western education, Malala survived and gained full health. In Her Royal Majesty’s abode of Great Britain, her deformed skull had since gone under the scalpel for surgical and plastic reconstruction. Counselling and qualitative education followed in quick succession. All thanks, Malala lives a newsmaker!
Her dream of a radiant, brilliant and elegant global activist soon became a stunning reality beyond anyone’s expectation. But the cruel and wicked October 9, 2012 assassination attempt unleashed on this defenceless and helpless school pupil remains a recurring decimal of error on the side of terror propagators. Imagine if the poor girl had died like the millions of global terror victims?

Like Daniel in a lion’s den, Malala has taken her bulala to Nigeria, to whip the government and people of Africa’s largest population into the consciousness of fending for all at peace and war times. For her, a birthday wasn’t worth the cake of celebration when folks like her are in terror dungeons.
Therefore the fate of the Chibok girls, who are currently languishing in forced detention that has lasted over three months, took Malala and the world she represents to the seat of power; calling for immediate rescue action and cessation of hostility. The education protagonist also donated a whopping US$200, 000 as scholarship fund for the abducted students once released. It is no widow’s mite. For Malala is yet to engage in wedlock, let alone lose a husband.

Come to think of it, Malala was lost for words after experiencing the paradox of wealth and waste inherent within the Nigerian State. How could the world’s number sixth highest producer of oil be unable to sponsor children to school free of charge, she wondered aloud! She was also dazed by the sheer magnitude of the teeming population of out of school kids in Nigeria; one of the worst in the world.
Street urchins, aka Almajiri, are readily available anywhere in the country –particularly in the Northern States. Not even the nation’s capital Abuja is free from the prevalence and menace of their begging bowls. As a matter of fact, a country full of beggars and paupers of any kind isn’t too far from total commotion and confusion, if not a revolution! And the world is watching, closely.
Meanwhile, amidst this chaos and impending anarchy of unemployment and under-education stems out the contagious cankerworm of political witch-hunting and ethnic intolerance! I continue to watch in fear and trepidation, the macabre dance of a loving nation on a seeming path of self immolation. May it not be.

In fact, I confessed earlier today to my very close friend and world-star Richard Mofe-Damijo, RMD, how my personal DNA feels unwelcomed in the ‘too normal’ English environment, where I have come to stand by my son on his graduation day as a mechanical engineer at age 21. I cannot imagine him being in a Nigerian Polytechnic, College of Education or a Public University – mostly shut to knowledge and students almost all-year long!

The scenario is even worse, more so as it took a Malala’s visit to get our President to invite the parents of the Chibok girls for a hug of sympathy and promise of rehabilitation. Yet, 2015 Elections are in the offing!  The PDP Caucus has just passed a Vote of Confidence in the President and his Vice, Namadi Sambo. Same day, the Adamawa State Assembly found it fit to impeach their Governor, Murtala Nyako of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC. Nassarawa State is on cue too to give Governor Al Makura the boot. Meanwhile, Edo State has the uncommon pedigree of having two separate Houses of Assembly whereas Ekiti State is home and dry in the Federal Government’s kitty after a landslide election victory over the incumbent Governor Kayode Fayemi.

Addendum: The Federal government has dissapointedly blamed the opposition of psychological terrorism as the Parents and survivors of Chibok Captivity shunned the presidential meeting as spurred by Malala's visit.  The statement from Nigerian government read thus: 
“It now appears that our fight to get the girls of Chibok back is not only a fight against a terrorist insurgency, but also against a political opposition.”
“It is with great regret that I announce the cancellation of the meeting with 12 parents of the abducted Chibock children, as well as five of the brave girls who escaped from the terrorist organization Boko Haram. I scheduled this meeting, which was to be open to the media for coverage by Nigerian and international press, to listen to their stories and to privately brief the parents and the girls on our efforts to rescue the abducted girls.”
“My priority is not politics. My priority is the return of these girls.”
“Unfortunately, political forces within the Nigerian chapter of Bring Back Our Girls have decided to take this opportunity to play politics with the situation and the grief of the parents and the girls. They should be ashamed of their actions.”
“Those who would manipulate the victims of terrorism for their own benefit, are engaging in a similar kind of evil: psychological terrorism.” 

  Malala Yousafzai meets Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan

President  Goodluck Jonathan was widely criticised for failing to meet distraught parents and not doing enough to rescue the girls.
On Malala's Day, Monday the 14th July 2014 Jonathan agreed to meet 12 parents and five girls who escaped shortly after being seized by Boko Haram, following a request by Pakistani rights campaigner Malala Yousafzai. According to Punch Newspaper, Chibok community spokesman Dauda Iliya said the proposed meeting had been organised in a hurry, so there was not enough time to consult with all the parents.
Chibok residents were “very traumatised” and people had lost trust in each other, he said.
If a small number of parents suddenly announced they had met the president, they would have a “hard time” from the others, and there might be a “suspicion that money had changed hands”, Iliya said.
The decision had “nothing” to do with the #BringBackOurGirls campaign group, he told BBC Focus on Africa.
“We are in pain. We can’t bear any animosity to the government,” Iliya said.


Finally, will the rule of might become the fundamental right in Nigeria? Commonsense dictates that the perpetrators terrorism and oppression of any sort need to learn from history. For impunity will never bring serenity, equity or unity. Only education, proper education, would create humane and urbane citizenry that will bring about transformation and socio-economic integration and harmony. Our nation quests for peace and progress. Lest the scriptures, like the law of karma be fulfilled: ‘Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword.’ God forbid! Nigerians should also forbid this ugly conclusion. Let’s uproot ignorance and plant tolerance in all spheres of our human endeavours. Only then can Malala’s message make any sense out of all these our nonsense! Long live Nigeria.

Returnees Joseph Yobo and Peter Odemwingie have spoken of their delight at being well received into the Super Eaglescamp in London ahead of the team’s friendly with Scotland on Wednesday.

Coach Stephen Keshi handed a recall to the duo for his 30-man provisional World Cup squad early this month. They will hope to impress and make the final squad to Brazil next month.

Yobo said during breakfast on Monday at the team’s hotel that he was overwhelmed by the shower of love by his team mates. “I am humbled and I pray that I will justify the confidence reposed in me,” the captain was quoted by national team media officer Ben Alaiya.
The defender had been out of the squad since the end of the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa last year.Deputy captain Vincent Enyeama reinforced the unity in the camp thus: “It’s one big family here and this is the spirit we should carry to the World Cup.”

On his part, Odemwingie, who had fallen out with the coaching crew since 2012, expressed his joy at being part of the national team once again.  

  

“We will do our best in Brazil to justify this unity that we have in camp,” Odemwingie said.
Out of the 30 invited players, only two were yet to hit camp on Monday. Nnamdi Oduamadi and Sunday Mba had been delayed by travel documents.

The Super Eagles will play their friendly against the Tartan Army at Fulham’s Craven Cottage ground on Wednesday by 8pm.
The team will fly out to the United States for further friendly matches against Greece and the US national men’s team before going to Brazil.
Nigeria have been drawn in Group F with Argentina, Iran and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
