Breaking News And A Council Of Ignorance by fkaz(m): 8:23am On Oct 06, 2014 |
It has just reached me that the merger talks holding between the three factions of Sheikh Bukar Al-Barnawi, Sheikh Abu Usamah Al-Ansori and Khalid Al-Barnawi has broken down completely. My sources tell me that the three groups have reached an agreement to continuing working together as before while maintaining their independence of each other.. https://fulansitrep./2014/10/05/breaking-news-and-a-council-of-ignorance/ I believe this is the allege boko haram ICT expert arrested https://www.nairaland.com/1927491/boko-harams-ict-expert-arrested#26757411 [b]Note On My Absence I was unfortunately not able to update this blog for a while because of some funny incidents involving the US Embassy in Nigeria and the Nigerian security services. I was my way into Cameroon when I was detained by Cameroonian Immigrations acting on what they termedOrders From Above which a contact in Cameroon’s military intelligence confirmed was from the US Embassy in Yaoundé. I was traveling on a Fulan Nasrullah passport. Despite my protests I was placed on a flight to Lagos despite that my passport was not African at all in origin. On arrival in Lagos I was handed over to a team of DSS operatives who then took me to an office where I was asked and agreed(since I was travelling on a diplomatic passport) to be interrogated for hours about my sources, connections etc. The interrogation was abruptly cutoff when officials from my dual-citizenship country’s embassy arrived and I was handed over to them. Subsequently I have had to lay low for a while to avoid stirring up more trouble than I need right now. As I later found out the US Embassy in Nigeria requested its counterpart in Yaoundé to have me detained on arrival in Cameroon and repatriated to Nigeria, although technically I was not officially Nigerian at that moment since I was travelling on a third country diplomatic passport. I found it interesting that the interrogation was more like a brain picking session than a routine interrogation (I have participated in literarily hundreds of routine and enhanced interrogations) with the questions revolving around stuff like the ‘relationship between Harakatul-Muhajiriin and Ansorul-Muslimiin’ or ‘the influence of Bin Ladinism on Khalid Al-Barnawi as weighed against the influence of Muhammad Yusuf’s teachings on him’ etc. At the end as I was leaving, one of my interrogators said the Nigerian Intelligence Community has always relegated the other Boko Haram factions to the background because on like the publicity-loving Shekau, the other groups avoid the spotlight like the plague, all but admitting they have a black hole in Intel gathering and analysis on the other factions [/b] |
