Australian Negotiator Exonerates Buhari And El Rufai.. by Genius100: 7:16pm On Aug 31, 2014
Stephen Davis, an Australian hostage negotiator who spent some time in Nigeria trying to secure the release of more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram militants in Chibok, Borno State, told SaharaReporters that he stands by his widely reported allegations that former Governor Modu Sherriff of Borno State and a former Chief of Army staff, General Azubuike Ihejirika (ret.), were among the top sponsors of the Islamist insurgents who have massacred thousands of Nigerians and foreigners and made the northeast part of Nigeria a highly militarized zone.

In an extensive telephone interview with SaharaReporters yesterday, Dr. Davis also accused an unnamed senior official of the Central Bank of Nigeria as well as a man based in Cairo, Egypt whom he claimed operates as Boko Haram’s bagman. He said both men, in addition to Mr. Sheriff and former General Ihejirika, were major players in the funding and continued existence of the deadly Islamist sect.

Dr. Davis told SaharaReporters that he did not want to name the CBN official as this may prejudice investigation by Nigeria’s security services. Both accused men have reacted furiously to Mr. Davis’ allegation, with the former Borno governor threatening to travel to Australia to sue his accuser while Mr. Ihejirika accused former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nasir El Rufai, of being a “commander” of Boko Haram. Three days ago, Mr. El Rufai had posted transcripts and video of Mr. Davis’ accusations of the former governor and ex-Army chief on social media.

Asked whether Mr. El Rufai and former military ruler, Muhammadu Buhari, had a hand in funding or sponsoring Boko Haram, Dr. Davis said their names have not been mentioned to him by any Boko Haram connections.

Also, asked to explain why Mr. Ihejirika, a non-Muslim who hails from the predominantly Christian southeastern part of Nigeria, became a Boko Haram “sponsor,” Mr. Davis said, “Boko Haram commanders and some connected with them told me on several occasions Ihejirika was one of their sponsors.”

He also disclosed that Mr. Sheriff always had the best military protection in Nigeria’s violence-plagued northeast, a protection he claimed the ex-governor enjoyed after he left office.

Dr. Davis reiterated that his allegations were informed by discussions he had with several Boko Haram field commanders over a long period of time. Asked if President Goodluck Jonathan was aware of the insurgents’ sponsors and their specific roles, Dr. Davis said he was unsure of the extent of information currently before President Jonathan. He added that Mr. Jonathan had been weakened by lack of military loyalty and a history of security negligence. He gave the example of repeated attempts to bring the growth of Al Qa’eda associated cells to the attention of NSA’s since 2006 only to have them dismiss such reports as baseless. “By the time Goodluck Jonathan became president Boko Haram had become a potent weapon with a command structure embedded in 16 northern states fanned by support from corrupt politicians.”

He further gave the example of Nigeria’s Minister of Defense, Aliyu Gusau, whom he accused of basically leaving Mr. Jonathan to carry his can without taking any responsibility for his work.

The Australian negotiator also revealed that his years working with Nigerian presidents on matters of terrorism had shown that, even when some prominent individuals are known to be involved in criminality, the presidents are simply too afraid to take them on. He cited the example of the Niger Delta region. He told SaharaReporters that he and former President Olusegun Obasanjo found out that Abiye Sekibo, who was then Mr. Obasanjo’s Transport Minister, had contracted the assassins who killed a prominent politician, Harry Marshall. He said he tried to persuade Mr. Obasanjo to prosecute Mr. Sekibo, but the then president declined, stating that such a trial could bring down his government.

Dr. Davis touched on several aspects of Boko Haram activities, showing that he was quite knowledgeable about the sect’s actions. He told SaharaReporters that Boko Haram runs about six major camps in the northeast and neighboring countries, adding that 700 fighters inhabited each camp. In addition there are a range of smaller camps within Borno State, which are often temporary and to which kidnapped girls are taken to be used by the insurgents.

The Australian revealed that earlier this year Boko Haram was a loose coalition of three Islamist militant groups that worked with one another, claiming that, since four months ago, the sects had merged into one single entity, become more cohesive, strategically effective and powerful. “They are now linking with other terrorist group in the region and will soon be very difficult to dismantle. If these political sponsors think they can turn these groups off after the 2015 elections they are going to be surprised to find it is out of their control.”

On why he had chosen to speak out publicly at this time, Dr. Davis stated that, from experience, any terrorist group that has lasted more than eight years after its formation would likely exist for another 20 or more years before it can be dismantled. It thus becomes embedded for a generation and the likelihood of dismantling it was very low. “If we don’t do our utmost now to dismantle Boko Haram then we may not be able to do so for another generation. That is a very gloomy scenario for Nigeria.”

He touched on former National Security Adviser, Owoye Andrew Azazi, whom he described as utterly corrupt. He said Mr. Azazi, who was a retired Army general, was planning to buy into the Hilton hotel chain in London to the tune of $100 million before he died in a helicopter crash on December 15, 2012.

Dr. Davis painted a portrait of Nigeria’s various intelligence units as operating in silos that refuse to share information that could tame terrorist groups. To illustrate his point, the Australian cited the example of the State Security Services. According to him, months after the SSS won the extradition from the Sudan of Aminu Ogwuche, a suspected terror mastermind who reportedly planned the deadly bombing of an Abuja bus station, the intelligence agency had yet to interrogate Mr. Ogwuche about his links with the three young men he reportedly contracted to carry out the bombing.

Dr. Davis said the young men were three in number and that they lived in the home of a CBN official who also carried out banking transactions for Boko Haram through the CBN. He said two other young collaborators in the Nyanya Motor Park bombing remain on the run.

The Australian hostage negotiator vowed to make more revelations about Boko Haram’s sponsors, adding that he believed the sect could only be dismantled if their sponsors were exposed and prosecuted. In particular, he said he could not see why the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had not already moved on Sheriff for his extensive looting of public funds when he was the Borno State governor, and for leaving the roads in Borno State in a terrible shape that has enabled Boko Haram to ambush Nigeria troops and massacre them mercilessly. He also added that the former governor should face the ultimate trial for financing the recruitment of young men to the Islamist sect.

Dr. Davis dismissed Mr. Sheriff’s threat to travel to Australia to sue him for his statements as grandstanding and seeking to divert attention from the real issue of Mr. Sheriff’s involvement with Boko Haram. He added that he would be pleased to meet the former governor at the airport whenever he developed the courage to come to Australia.

Credible!

And just to add, GEJ did know about the earliest bombings by his surrogates in their attempts to create disaffection across the country and mutual suspicion between the North and the South. He had Northern collaborators, and when these men got schemed out after supporting Jonatahan (by his Ijaw brothers), they took control of the terrorist groups but soon lost control of them. GEJ also listening to the likes of Edwin Clark (who wants the disintegration of Nigeria in favor of a Niger Delta Republic where his likes would call the shots) led to his downfall.

Only a sick person will vote GEJ next year. A two legged table would do a better job as President.

Whatever is the reason Jonathan is watching and innocent lives are Massacared will surely be revealed. It doesn't make sense for a president to claim ignorance of happenings like this. And I agree with Abachas quote " any insurgency that lasts for more than 24 hours, the government has a hand in it".
How many militias does BH have for God's sake? How many troops does the Federal republic of Nigeria have? Over 4 trillion Naira has been spent on security in d last 3 years.
Do you wanna tell me Boko Haram have more money to procure weapons than FG?

It was the President who contracted him underground owing to his experience in Hostage negotiation,kidnapping etc to help the Govt negotiate with Boko haram to free the Chibok girls whose kidnap you all believed to be a scam to embarass the GEJ Presidency

Why did he not mention d CBN guy's name? I wd say he's a bastard to dat effect.

Guy, it's easy to figure out Ihejirika's involvement. Ihejirika was probably supply Boko Haram arms, so they can cause more mayhem and the FG will then have to award more defence contracts. Ihejirika will then benefit financially from the defence contracts. We all know he wants to run for governor now... no be moimoi money dem dey take run for governor

The Australian investigator claim he got the names of Ihejirika and Sheriff from Boko Haram commanders. Well, it could be argued that the so called Boko Haram gave him names of Boko Haram core enemies.

While there are no literatures or reports of any relationship between Ihejirika and Boko Haram before now, there are several reports on what transpired between Sheriff and Boko Haram in the BEGINNING of this conflict.

Here is the account of Jerry Useni, a retired General, who was Deputy National Chairman of the All Nigerian People’s Party (ANPP) in 2009/2008 when the Boko Haram crisis started
...At the beginning, the relationship between the sect and the former governor was so cordial that the sect allegedly nominated one of its members, Buju Foi, into the Sheriff cabinet as Commissioner for Religious Affairs. But Boko Haram’s alliance with the former governor allegedly thawed when Sheriff turned down their demand that Borno state be Islamised.

The worsening relationship between the two parties, it was alleged, climaxed with Foi quitting the Sheriff government.

Both Foi and Boko Haram’s leader, Yusuf Mohammed were killed in August 2009 during government’s offensive on the sect’s headquarters. At the time of his brutal end, Foi was said to be Boko Haram’s financier.

The controversial killing of Yusuf, Foi and other top Boko Haram cadres in 2009 is now being linked with the high calibre of individuals behind the sect’s emergence.

The theory is that the men were finished off to prevent them from revealing other high profile members.

After the government’s assault on its stronghold in 2009 with Sheriff’s tacit support, Boko Haram, allegedly became convinced that the former governor had indeed used and dumped them. And from then on, the sect never hid its anti-Sheriff stance.

http://www.thesourceng.com/BokoharamJuly252011.htm
In addition, Boko Haram has always made the arrest and prosecution of Sheriff one of its demands for a cease fire.

While there was nothing to link Ihejirika to Boko Haram before now, clearly Ihejirika was one chief of army staff that fought Boko Haram to near extinction. In fact, in the later stages of his reign we were already celebrating the death of Boko Haram even on this forum. The thread below and many others is a proof of how hard Boko Haram was hit under Ihejirika
https://www.nairaland.com/1374100/like-play-like-play-boko

So bottomline, in my opinion, the so called Boko Haram commanders only gave the Australian investigator the names of their ENEMIES.

In fact, those whose names where missing and who have been suspects all this while should be investigated.

Dont compare apples with oranges. When you make accusations or allegations that does NOT make sense, people are bound to question or even discountence it. After all, the southeast are the most critical of their state governors unlike some other parts of the country that try to shield their non-performing governors.

I don't really know who are the brain behind boko haram but going by some previous comment from
1) President= Boko haram is in my government
2) Azazi (FG appointee)= PDP is Boko haram , Boko haram is PDP
3) Bamangar Tukur = Boko Haram are fighting for justice
4) Australian Negotiator (FG appointee)= Name Ihejirika and Amodu but how Ihejirika was named remain a question.
5) Amodu Sheriff = Number 1 suspect of Boko haram and PDP cheiftain member in borno



So with these i am of the opinion that Boko Haram will end only if federal goverenment will allow

I don't av any stake in the SE. If you like elect GREAT leaders like Martin Elechi, Sam Egwu, Stealar Odua, Fabian Osuji, Uzor Kalu, TA Orji or Peter Obi that is your business. You can even nominate otokoto, ifeanyi ubah or whoever its still your business!!!!
