shizzle11hiv: Der is no doubt in my mind that Ihejirika is the main sponsor of Bokoharam. The menace of BH was under control till GEJ appointed this incompetent man and he totally messed things up. There is no doubt he has a hand in all of this.

Why cry now after the Aussie journalist revealed his part in terrorism in Nigeria?

Only for the eddiot to making counter allegations after he has been busted. Ihejirika should be arrested and investigated immediately

Sincere9gerian: Former Chief of Army Staff, General Onyeabor Azubuike Ihejirika on Thursday opened a can of worms by declaring that the former minister of the Federal Capital Territory and APC Chieftain, Mallam Nasir El-Rufia is one of the frontline Commanders Haram terrorist group.
Speaking with Vanguard over allegation by the former minister that he (Ihejirika) and former Governor Modu Sheriff of Borno State were fingered as terrorists sponsors, General Ihejirika said he is not surprised that this unimaginable allegation is coming from one of the Boko Haram Commanders
“The (Commanders) including El-Rufai know where the problem is He should stop deceiving Nigerians by trying to divert attention”.
According to Ihejirika, “When the Boko Haram operation started, supporters of the sect like El-Rufai said that there was nothing like Boko Haram and that the army was just killing innocent youths”.

“If you also remember, not too long ago, some of their supporters including El-Rufai said that I was re-inventing the killing of the Ibos during the Biafra war following government’s determination to rid the country of terrorism.
Ihejirika who was obviously angry while speaking on phone, also said, “The likes of El-Rufai started the campaign of human right abuses, in order to divert the international attention of the heinous crime being committed by the Boko Haram terrorists”.
Gen. Ihejirika then recalled recent allegations against his person indicating that that he took away N48 billion, an amount of money which is still in the coffers of the Ministry of Defence, which can be verified by anybody adding that he was not surprised that these allegation is coming from the likes of El-Rufai who started the campaign.
Continuing the former Army Chief said, “The likes of El-Rufai have been supporting Boko Haram. In fact, El-Rufai and his likes are the same group of people that ensured the army did not to get the requested equipment to deal with this menace once and for all, as they used their cohorts to tell the government that procuring modern equipment were not necessary”

Recalling that the same El-Rufai went to Thisday Newspaper premises to grant interview to condemn security forces for the efforts at ridding the country of these senseless mayhem by the terrorists, Ihejirika said, “At the onset of this crisis, I was the first person to declare that the country was at war but group of sponsors led by El-Rufai disagreed, that it was not true”

“It is the same group of El-Rufai that started the human right abuses campaign. It was done in order to block any international assistance after the state of emergency was declared and the sect was initially tamed. That gave Boko Haram time and respite to build up again”.

Furthermore, General Ihejirika said that when the United States was to initially declare Boko Haram a terrorist organization, the same El-Rufai and his group mounted pressure on the international community, using alleged human right abuses as campaign strategy.

The former Army Chief revealed that this same group including El-Rufai have taken further steps in support of Boko Haram, “which I cannot disclose for now”

It will be recalled that shortly after his tenure came to an end as COAS, some Northern political elites started the crusade for General Azubuike Ihejirika to be summoned before the International criminal Court in the Hague claiming that he killed their sons and daughters innocently whereas it is on record that no other military leader but Ihejirika did a lot in helping the nation contain the rapid spread of Boko Haram insurgency in the country.

He not only established the 7th Division of the Nigerian Army with headquarters in Maiduguri, he established new Army Brigades, Counter Terrorism Schools in Kachia and Jaji as well as the Terrorism Training School.

berem: So Ihejirika knew El-Rufai was a boko haram sponsor and he is just telling us now? As a former COAS what did he do to arrest El-Rufai and his fellow boko haram sponsors?

Eyaaa!! Stories that really touches the heart.

soroptimist:


Ihejirika The Liar!

Why didnt you rein in El-Rufai if you knew he was a Boko Haram commander and make a show of him and all his ilk...........So according to you a Boko haram commander is walking free and yet you can't share your intel on him with your C-In-C and other security agencies

Charlatan Soldier man....so is anyone that is against GEJ is a Boko Haramist?

Ihejirika when will you disclose who the sponsors of BH are so that your clueless President who also said he knows them can quickly arrest them and make an example of them

berem: last time I checked, El-Rufai and Sheriff are not in government. Who then are those frustrating the purchase of military equipments? All the money that have been released so far to purchase equipments to fight boko haram,who squandered the money? Is it the boko haram sponsors that made our soldiers use AK47 guns to fight boko haram who have better weapons? Is it the boko haram sponsors that is responsible for the corruption in the military which has made boko haram have an upperhand by hoisting flags?

MrMcJay:

And these Ministers of Defence and NSA are PDP members, right?

No APC member has been linked to Boko Haram, right?

These Boko Haram sympathisers in Govt are PDP members, right?

GEJ said that Boko Haram members are in his government, right?

That means GEJ knows the BH members, right?

My simple question is "Why did GEJ as the Chief Security Officer of this Country do nothing to prosecute these sponsors of terrorism in the PDP?

gratieao:
Berem! Are u there?
You believe that Ihejirika is one of the Boko Haram sponsor?

vedaxcool:

He perharps would be Nigeria's daftest general liveath! How would someone like him be so co-ck sure about el rufia sponsorship of BH and yet continued to fail in either arresting or making any formal investigation against him.

thwarrior72: I don't know what the north really want. Ihejirila wanted to take boko haram headlong, they shouted genocide, now there are thesame nitwits accusing him of sponsoring Thesame boko haram he wanted to flush out.....what an irony

Sincere9gerian: So many ungrateful elements in this country. In sane societies, people like Ihejirika are celebrated. But not so in countries whose citizens pull in different directions like Nigeria.

How can we succeed at anything when there is no unity of purpose?

Meanwhile, now we know that efforts to procure more modern military hardware at the early stage of this war on Boko Haram was frustrated by Boko Haram sympathisers in govt. In the last 3 to 4 years, key security positions like minister of defense, national security adviser, etc have been in the hands of core northerners. What has been the contribution of these key security chiefs to the war against Boko Haram?

Litmus: So because he is white he most be telling the truth, huh? Just like all mighty America had magic technology that we were sure would pinpoint the girls.

Has it not occurred to anyone that the information he gathered may be from Nigerian sources and influenced by the views of mischief makers? Long before many Niralanders heard of this Australian fellow, they read on Nairaland, people accusing all manner of Northern politicians of being sponsors of Bokoharam - from that Bornor governor to Buhari. Just like many online media houses, world-wide, get their information on what is happening in the North East of Nigeria from Nigerians, isn't it likely that this guys views are influenced by Nigerians that work with him , guiding his investigations - if any- in the direction that they want.

SeaGold:

Yes Ihejirika is the Boko Haram chief sponsor.

He collected Billions from the government to buy military equipment and hardware but instead diverted the money into Boko Haram activities by empowering them with sophisticated weapons.

Then (Ihejirika) with his ragtag and un- equipped Nigeria soldiers went up against his sponsored "foot soldiers", engaging and killing them in their numbers while el-rufai weep and complain. He totally curb his sponsored insurgents during his reign even to the extent his northern enemies were calling for his prosecution

The news today is that BOKO HARAM is telling the world to go after their Chief sponsor, Ihejirika so they can lay down their arms abi?
