RETRACTION: Publication of Daily Independent Story alleging Nigeria’s Minister of Communications, Sheikh Isa Pantami placed on Terror watch-list for alleged ties with Boko Haram Leader


RETRACTION: Publication of ‘Sunday Independent Story’ alleging
Nigeria’s Minister of Communications, Sheikh Isa Pantami placed on Terror watch-list for alleged ties with Boko Haram Leader

Dear Readers,

Several concerns have been raised with respect to the veracity of the story alleging Nigeria’s Minister of Com­munications, Sheikh Isa Pantami being placed on Terror watch-list for alleged ties with the late Boko Haram Leader Muhammed Yusuf in our publication.

We launched an independent audit to evaluate the story and found that there was no direct attribution by the said United States Government agency and we do apologise to our readers for re-publishing the report and also to the person of Sheikh Isa Pantami, Nigeria’s Minister of Nigeria’s Minister of Com­munications.

The video embedded in the story where the Minister and the late leader of Boko Haram revealed that, the minister and the late Boko Haram leader were in a heated debate. Sheikh Pantami in the video disagreed with Muhammed Yusuf’s position, insisting that Muslims should enrol in schools and equally participate in democractic governance. However, Yusuf argued to the contrary with little evidence from the Qur’an and Hadith which he relied on.

As an organisation, we always aspire to perform our due diligence in publishing or re-publishing third party articles with credible media organisations and in accordance with the highest ethical and professional guidelines and for this story, we found that story was published by Daily Independent without attribution.

Based on this development, we are retracting the story and deleting the article from our platforms, news websites and the various social media pages.

This targeting of Dr Isa Pantami is coordinated, and only the courtroom can fish out those really responsible.

I don’t want him to settle for apologies. His lawyers must take note of the handles dispensing the false and unverifiable stories and give them the justice they deserve

The man debated so passionately against Yusuf in Public, criticized his ideology as ignorant and unislamic so much that Yusuf's men attempted to assassinate him in retaliation.

Back in 2005/2006 before anyone outside the North knew of Boko Haram, Pantami was already debating and preaching against them.

In 2020, BH put out another assassination order on the man. But in 2021, he magically started having ties with BH. People are so daft!

Now the video of him debating Yusuf is now used as evidence of ties to Boko haram.

All I know is that it's now Very risky to allow this "closet terrorist" to have access to our NIN and phone numbers. The other day, the Fulani terrorists that attacked Governor Ortom insinuated that very soon, they will be going from house to house to kill those against the Fulani agenda, including those speaking up online.
How would they know those if not through this process?

There should be severe consequences for this kind of false publication. Apologizing and retracting the story is not enough. We can’t continue like this if we truly intend to move this country forward.

Idotic people! You want to smear the reputation of a man who apart from being a PhD in computer science is also a respected Islamic scholar home and abroad.

We can have pastors holding every govt position and living peacefully. Yet when one or two well verse muslims or Islamic scholars are appointed into leadership position based on their qualifications (Pantami is an Associate Prof of Computer Science), you see xtians running their mouths upandan. Do Southern xtians actually have conscience?

Beremx of the old was more open minded even though she has right to support whoever she wanted. I am not beguiling her that. But the fact remains that the Beremx of the old wouldn't be swayed by a news like this.

Beremx, I come in peace.

I decided not to engage some folks here who are fond of looking for either fake or negatives news so as to justify either their #LekkiLies or the pained from the defeat they suffered in 2015/19 respectively

it will be an insult and a big slap on the Hon. Minister's face and that of FG if they accept this retraction like that without dealing with Daily Independent

Yes , the agenda is real against this govt but this is an opportunity for the govt to put into use its sledge hammer �

Will they call back the Publication that has already gone viral ?

May God rest the soul of the dead Journalism in Nigeria

We know it was FAKENEWS sponsored by IPOB.

When i read the news i know it was fake, the United states has a database for every person that supports terrorism, the newspaper that published this FAKENEWS didn't even post any links of the said lists.

Ipob and their anti Nigerian friends were busy having a feast day on FAKENEWS as they usually do grin
