dozydre: And what are they still waiting for? Action pls!

Action ke ? Under the carpet as usual

Names! names!! names!!!

Josh316: If GEJ had the balls, what he would do is give silent approval for secret assassinations of PROVEN sponsors. one funny car accident or food poisoning would QUIETLY eliminate these scum. however, he and his crew are still playing the game of OSTRICH and living in pure denial. Maybe when we start vigilante justice will he then wake up Its not too far-fetched for that to start happening like in the case of Kenya... My own 2cents

My friend, u've been watching too much movies and it made u forget where u are.

David what? I can assure u that nothing good will come out of the investigation. David Mark is concerned with personal interest not National interest. He will play politics with everything, i know him long ago.

Nigerians cant wait to know who d sponsors are.

HammedSodiqq: Cleric unmasks Boko Haram sponsors •Names prominent Nigerians, top govt functionaries •Forwards list to Senate President, supports claims with video clips •Mark orders investigation •UK charity group accused of funding Boko Haram


A Maiduguri, Borno State-based cleric, Pastor Kallamu Musa Ali Dikwa, has unmasked those behind the activities of the dreaded Islamic sect popularly known as Boko Haram and forwarded their names to the Senate President, Senator David Mark, for necessary action.

The Nigerian Tribune authoritatively learnt that the cleric chronicled the activities of the sect in an open letter to the Senate President entitled, “Open letter to the Senate president: My Suggestion on how to tackle Boko Haram,” dated 17th June, 2011 but was received by the office of the Senate President on November 2, 2011.

Further investigation by the Nigerian Tribune showed that alarmed by the claims of the cleric in the open letter, which was supported with five DVD-CDs containing video clips of the activities of the sect and their sponsors, the Senate president reportedly referred the matter, along with the five DVD-CDs, to the appropriate Senate committee for a thorough investigation on February 29 this year but nothing was heard since then, because of the names of the prominent Nigerians and top government officials mentioned.

In the open letter, the cleric suggested that the Freedom of Information Act should be used to extract the phone numbers of the leaders of the Boko Haram group from journalists who had been receiving text messages and press releases from the group from time to time.

He advised that the government should start the crusade of ending the Boko Haram menace in the country by fishing out its officials and security agents supporting the terrorist group since it had now been established that the group was being supported by prominent Nigerians, top government officials and decurity personnel.

The cleric, who identified the head of one of the prominent Federal Government agencies as the financial secretary of the group, alleged in the letter that the “Islamic Revolution has a security committee” with a former principal officer in the Senate, as well as a former governor from the North as members, saying that the main aim of the group was to Islamise the country through Jihad.

Pastor Dikwa also revealed all his interactions with the now late leader of the group, Mohammed Yusuf, since 2006 till he was killed and why he was killed and why the group continued to attack churches, security personnel and installations.

When contacted, the Special Adviser to the Senate President (Media), Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, said that he was not aware of the said sensitive letter but promised to find out from the appropriate quarters.

However, another top aide to the Senate president told the Nigerian Tribune in confidence that the office received the letter and, as usual, passed same to Senator Mark and that he immediately sent it to the appropriate quarters for a thorough investigation because of its sensitivity.

According to the source, “it is true, a letter like that was received from a cleric. I can't remember his name again but the Senate president acted on it. Maybe the investigation is still in progress, I don't know. But now that you are raising it [the issue], we will find out. The claims of the cleric are nothing that can be overlooked; something will have to be done.”

Meanwhile, a London-based charity organisation, Al-Muntada Trust Fund, has been accused by a British member of parliament of funding Boko Haram in Nigeria, according to a report released by British newspaper The Guardian on Sunday.

David Alton, a member of the House of Lords, raised concerns about the Al-Muntada Trust Fund’s activities with Foreign Office minister, Lord Howell, in July, as well as with the United Kingdom’s Charity Commission and the Metropolitan police.

However the charity commission stated that while it was aware of concerns regarding Al-Muntada’s affiliations with Boko Haram, it was unable to confirm whether those concerns were directly related to the London-based Al-Muntada, since there were several other charity organisations registered under the same name, according to The Guardian.

Nevertheless, the London-based Al-Muntada is notorious for being a platform for radical clerics, The Guardian reported.

Nigerian state security also has concerns with Al-Muntada allegedly funding Boko Haram, according to Nigerian media reports.

Boko Haram has been conducting violent activities in Nigeria since 2009, usually by blowing up churches. The Nigerian Army announced on Friday the killing of seven suspected Boko Haram members and the arrest of 13 others, according to BBC news.

BBC news quoted Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa who said the killings and arrests took place after “a group of gunmen suspected of being Boko Haram,” attacked a military checkpoint.

The attacks came a day after Boko Haram released a statement claiming responsibility for attacking a number of mobile telecoms installations, according to Reuters.

In their statement, Boko Haram explained their actions, accusing the mobile installations of giving security personnel information about them, vowing to “continue attacking them until they stop,” Reuters reported.

Boko Haram also vowed not to “leave any correspondent or staff of the Voice of America (VOA), alone”, according to VOA. The Islamist group accused VOA of having taken “the task of harming our religion.”

Boko Haram, a term which means that western teachings are prohibited, is an organisation seeking to impose Islamic Shari’a law in Nigeria, especially in the Muslim-majority North. It is affiliated with Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.

You had to quote all that just to write two lines while "shouting"?
And you ironically made reference to monkey. Smh.

Some people on Nairaland are just so daft and stupid,must u quote an entire post just to make a comment?and a senseless comment at that. @Op,i wasnt actually expecting to see any names,afterall it says,Cleric submitted d names to David mark,not Nairaland.He should go a step further to submit to d media too,cos d one with David Mark is his own copy,or what do u think?How can a sane person take such sensitive case to David Mark of all people?what was he expecting to happen?or did he give it to him in other to recieve a cash reward or contract?Honestly i dnt understand how some people think.Maybe David Marks name topped d list,so he wanted him to see it first and then edit before forwarding it for disciplinary measures.Infact that cleric is an slowpoke.i dnt believe this rubbish,let them tell us another story and stop all these political stunts.

Imagine d dunce of a top aide saying such sensitive issue should not be overlooked after he has just said they recieved d letter and forwarded it without any follow up.What other word can be used for this if not overlook?Such a sensitive evidence has been in their domain since last year and more people have been killed,and u re telling Nigerians that u forgot about it and now that u hv been reminded u will look into it to see how far it has gone?Wow,this country is indeed heading for d rocks.D lives of d masses dont worth a thing.God help us

Maybe u re refering to d David in d bible,not David mark i guess.Cos he will be d last to want that list out.that man is a smooth criminal,guess u hvnt noticed.forget d names,we aint getting them.

I av seen Buhari name on d list......buh d names can only be seen wit spiritual eyez

So who are the people on the list?

And where da F is the list

Since 2011? Na wa o! The cleric should have taken the list/ open letter to the SSS people. And let him run for his dear life as this has been made public. because these bad guys may soon start looking for him to kill.

Just hope they dont tamper with the details in those DVDs just to cover up their black asses.

I was expecting to finally see names instead of insinuations as usual.

There is no terrorist group that can survive in any country without having any strong support in the security agencies in dat country, top army officials, retired generals and then some enemies in disguise in the inner carcus of the presidency. They are not too hard to be found if there is boldness and the political will to do that. And let me tell you, they are not as strong as some people think they are.

Another public attention seeker....

And how is this changing the price of GARRI
