US group makes revelations on Buhari govt, Boko Haram, deaths of Badeh, Alkali


The Defence and Foreign Affairs latest report published by the International Strategic Studies Association (ISSA) based in the United States of America, has stated that the deaths of a former Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Sabundu Badeh (retd.) and a former Chief of Administration of the Nigerian Army, Major General Idris Alkali, “were not a coincidence”.


ISSA is a Washington-based non-governmental organisation with a worldwide membership of professionals involved in national and international security and strategic policy.

President of ISSA, Gregory Copley, told ThisDay that their analyses were not released to the public but to governments that the organisation has affiliation with.


The report released over the weekend and obtained by the newspaper stated that corruption among top military chiefs appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari is the reason Nigeria is losing the war against Boko Haram terrorists.

It stated that at present, the Nigerian government had completely and comprehensively lost control of the engagement with Boko Haram and could show no instance when the government presently had tactical, theatre, strategic, or information dominance of any aspect of the conflict.

It reads in parts, “It is fair to say that the Nigerian intelligence community itself is no longer sure what groups even comprise ‘Boko Haram’, nor has it addressed the international logistical, ideological, and support aspects contributing to the ongoing viability of the groups.


“The conflict will almost certainly prove the undoing of the present government of President Muhammadu Buhari at the February 16, 2019, presidential elections.

“Despite this, the only significant engagement which the Nigerian military leadership — up to and including the National Security Adviser, Maj.-Gen. (rtd.) Mohammed Babagana Monguno – seems to prioritise is the fight to stop the leakage of information about massive corruption, running into the equivalent of several billions of dollars, in the purchase by senior military officers of major military capital goods and military consumables, including the troops’ own food.

“The conduct of the war in the North is tied to the corruption in the military, and Buhari — ring-fenced by his own team — is unable to tackle the issue.

“His poor health does not help, but he had always (even as a military president, taking office on December 31, 1983) been indecisive and vindictive.

“This ongoing set of characteristics mean that the coming months will be dramatic, even more than the dying days of the preceding administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

“It is significant that Buhari, who received the findings of the commission as much as a year ago, has refused to allow it to be made public and he, through National Security Adviser Monguno, has attempted to have the commission disband.

“However, it is believed that Monguno and Buhari are aware that copies of the report are beyond their reach and could be released unofficially if further attempts are made to assassinate commission members.

“The commission, investigating defense procurement from 2007 onwards, made significant strides which were initially accepted by the Buhari government, until the scope of the inquiry went beyond the period relating to the former government of Pres. Goodluck Jonathan, and began to show corruption patterns extending into officers still serving under President Buhari.”

The report stated that the death of a former Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal (retd.) Alex Sabundu Badeh (who became Chief of Defence Staff), and that of a former Chief of Administration of the Nigerian Army, Major General Idris Alkali, on September 3, 2018 were not a mere coincidence .

It said, “Given the upsurge in momentum by ‘the highest levels of government’ to stop the findings becoming public from the corruption commission on defense procurement, it is plausible that the attribution of a criminal ‘kidnapping-attempt-gone-wrong’ against the Air Chief Marshal was a convenient excuse to ensure that the victim — Badeh — could not divulge in court the pattern and details of corruption which has grown even more rampant in the current generation of defense leadership.

“On September 3, 2018, the retired Chief of Administration of the Nigerian Army, Maj.-Gen. Idris Alkali, was also killed, ostensibly by a gang of youthful protestors who set up a roadblock near Jos, the capital of Plateau State. His body was discovered on October 31, 2018. And his death was blamed on ‘an irate mob’, who were protesting in the Du-ra-Du community against the September 2, 2018, killing of 11 members of their own community.”

The report further stated, “No significant economic or political progress can be achieved in Nigeria until the issue of the Boko Haram insurgency is resolved. Other insurgencies are also expected to emerge, or re-emerge, particularly in the Niger Delta. And while other pending internal security issues are important, it is on the BH issue that the prestige, credibility, and reliability of Nigeria is assessed by the international community. Thus, all questions of the viability of Nigeria as a candidate for inward foreign direct investment (FDI) and international cooperation are dependent on a resolution of the BH issues.

“Domestically, resolution of the BH issue is a pre-requisite to enabling issues of intra-Nigerian regional equity imbalances to be addressed. Moreover, the credibility of the Federal Government as an arbiter of justice is assessed by the domestic electorate and the world community.”

Nothing new, we are all aware buhari is a monumental failure

Let's stop Pretending like we don't know that APC and Army Generals are using Boko haram to steal billions of Nigerian money.

Only a foolish General in the Army will want this war to end. They're stealing billions and hiding it abroad buying houses in Dubai and UK.

Nigerians especially northern folks are too Daft to reason over the revelation. So don't bother much. Let them die and perish if that is what they want

With all these my fellow yoruba people who are the most intelligent tribe in africa and beyond still want to vote 4 buhari.
Well buhari gave us an expensive gift by naming june 12 after mko.

its only a fool that will believe that such person can be gun down by such low life they paraded

At least we get a chance to this year retire the dullard and his band of terrorist. What a disaster he's been.

"America will know" - GEJ

Indeed, America knows all and so much water passes under the bridge in this country that eyes can't see.

May the Lord reign supreme and set us free from the claws of wicked leaders

somebody will come and tell us PMB is fighting corruption

Dem don finish d matter. The only new thing that they are trying to say is that buhari might be responsible for the death of the generals directly or indirectly. We don hear. Thunder will fire any body that mention buharis name close to integrity

Lalasticlala

You never wake up.

This YEAR 2019, Nigeria will Witness GOD'S Hand raw in our Affairs...

Any zombie dat dares to read this beautiful write-up from beginning to end and still shouts sai barber is doomed for life!!!!.....even God no go gree help am

Na wa oo

Very shameful

Buhari has brought this country into disrepute, destroying every fabric of unity and economic progress recorded in just 3yrs.

Another term for these locusts and we may have no country called Nigeria.

What a shame!

g

Buhari is boko haram, and Boko haram is Buhari.


I didn't say so, the US Ngo above said so






Argue with your ancestors

I have completely lost my patriotic stance on Nigeria.

The north has been major masterminds of killings in Nigeria.

The north has been mostly at the helm of affairs in Nigeria since independence.

The north is the most backward region in Nigeria

The north is willing to remain in perpetual darkness as long as one of their own is President.

The north is currently reaping what it sowed through boko Haram.

Let them carry on with the politics and looting

I'm just a mere observer.

Jonathan:
Wetin concern US with Nigeria matter

Very dull

.. buhari's failure to act on the report lead to the culprits to start eliminating themselves. Sad part is burutai was arms procurememt officer and dambazua was also a top guy when dasuki was made the fall guy without giving a fair hearing because he insisted on an open trail. In other to save Obasanjo's tenure the investigation period was limited to 2007... The biggest and bloodiest Occultic group is the Nigerian Army

There is nothing in what you're saying.

Even a gambler who is drunk would be more accurate.

I heard since Igbos love Shagari so much and hate Zik, they want to remove Zik from N500 note and use Shagari.
