The leadership of the Jama’atu Nasril Islam led by the
Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Abubakar Sa’ad lll, has
demanded immediate release of an alleged Boko
Haram recruitment officer, Dr. Mohammed Yunus.
The group claimed Yunus was not a Boko Haram
member.
Yunus, a lecturer with the Kogi State University was
arrested in connection with the violent Islamic sect,
Boko Haram by operatives of the State Security Service
(SSS) on October 29.
The SSS had arrested the university teacher and four
others, parading them as suspected members of the
Boko Haram insurgents, alleging that they were
planning to unleash terror on the people of Kogi State.
Yunus was said to be the “spiritual leader and
recruitment coordinator” of a terrorist cell in Kogi State.
However, the JNI in a statement signed by its Secretary-
General, Dr. Khalid Aliyu, on Tuesday in Kaduna noted
that after a thorough investigation by the religious
body, it discovered that the said lecturer was not
connected with the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram.
According to the JNI, the lecturer could not have been a
member of Boko Haram because those who have been
following the trend of the sect knew that “even ordinary
members of the Boko Haram hardly deny their
connection to their ideology.”
The JNI therefore argued that it would be doubtful
that a whole “spiritual leader and recruitment officer” of
the group(Boko Haram) would shed tears publicly while
denying any link to that ideology.
It added that it would sound contradictory also that a
leader of Boko Haram would still maintain his position
as a university lecturer when in fact, the first requisite
for one to be a member of the insurgent was to
abandon anything connected with western education
(Boko).

Let us allow SSS to do their jobs.

According to the JNI, the lecturer could not
have been a
member of Boko Haram because those who
have been
following the trend of the sect knew that
“even ordinary
members of the Boko Haram hardly deny their
connection to their ideology.”

They should come up with better and mature defense objectives. The above is too trivial.

Until then, they should allow the SSS to continue on their investigation.

Ur naivete is hillarious.
Ignorance is one bad affliction.
Jihadists have been known to drink beer just to throw off suspicion.
They have been known to even engage with prostitutes.
They have been known to do everything any muslim is not supposed to do because they are waging a holy war.

U think being a lecturer will be forbidden to such people and that one of them cant be using a lecturing job as a cover? LMAO
Like I said, ur naivete is hillarious. Maybe u should read a little more about jihad in the 21st century.
