SSS Reveals "SMS Threat Syndicate" Masquerading As Boko Haram

http://saharareporters.com/news-page/sss-reveals-sms-threat-syndicate-masquerading-boko-haram

The state security services issued the statement below regarding several syndicate it claimed were behind sms threat messages to some prominent Nigerian politicians:

Recall that on 2nd November, 2011, the Service in a press release informed that two (2) secondary school students in Niger State had been apprehended for sending false threat messages of purported plans by Boko Haram to attack the Presidential Villa and National Assembly on 28th October, 2011.

2. On 14th November, 2011, Government had assured the public that the activities of such syndicates that specialize in sending threat text messages to members of the pubic, including key Government officials, foreign embassies, and other strategic corporations in the country will be quashed.

3. Against this backdrop, the Service would again like to draw the attention of the public to the criminal and subversive intents of devious elements who threaten unsuspecting individuals, organizations and groups for fraudulent purposes: Accordingly, we wish to inform Nigerians
that a major breakthrough has been recorded as members of four (4) groups of criminal syndicates engaged in this trend were recently arrested.

Highlights of the activities of each of the syndicates are:

SYNDICATE I
[/b]4. [b]The group is made up of four (4) members namely, Stanley OCHUWA, Emmanuel Ogbonna CHINONYEREM, Onyedikachi AKPASUE, and Mathias AKUEGBO
.

They operated from Suleja in Niger State and Zuba, FCT, under the code names Col. MURPHY, Col. ADAMS, Col. MORDI, and Engr. Emma NWACHUKWU.

SYNDICATE 111
6. Maurice Efe LAWRENCE, an indigene of Delta State, operated this cell from Calabar, Cross River State. He had widely circulated text messages through three (3) GSM Nos: 08100428701, 08080468686, and 070383912813 on plans by his syndicate to attack or bomb some cities in
Nigeria. On his hit list were) Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Port Harcourt, Jos, Kaisina, Damaturu, Maiduquri, Lagos, Dutse and Akure.

SYNDICA TE IV
7. Chinwendu JOSIAH, an indigene of Imo State worked in a cyber cafe in Benin City. He it was that sent emails to foreign embassies that caused panic and anxiety which led to the travel alert issued during the Eid-el- Kabir celebrations. The threat messages were sent through the following email addresses which contained a cloned GSM no: 081881916038, which he used for the scam and intent to extort money from his victims.

Below is the full text of some of the messages sent:

i."WE ARE BOKO HARAM, WE ARE COMING FOR YOU"

ii.  "THE BROTHERHOOD REMAINS ONE INDIVISIBLE
ENTITY. THERE IS NO SPLIT AND THERE IS NO SPLINTER
GROUP. STORIES OF SPLIT ARE TISSUES OF LIES BY
THE STATE SECURITY SERVICE TO DISCREDIT US. CALL
ON ALL TRUE FAITHFULS WHO BELIEVE IN OUR CAUSE
TO JOIN US BY ENLISTING AS A FOLLOWER AND BECOME
A MEMBER OF THE BROTHERHOOD IN OUR SITE"

these were the same offence Ndume committed. I have always have this opinion that igbos are into boko haram. from an ibo man providing bomb making materials in Borno, to another ibo convert making bombs in Niger state.
Re: SSS Reveals "SMS Threat Syndicate" Masquerading As Boko Haram - Saharareporters by JamesDoe: 2:41pm On Dec 01, 2011
There are criminal elements in every ethnic group.  I think we all need to stop bashing any single ethnic group and realise that all ethnic groups have rotten elements within them.

If not for this article people would believe it is only Hausa-Fulani and Kanuri that are behind these terror messages and terror alerts.  But the SSS spokesman clearly identified four syndicates with three being led by South Easterners!

Imagine people sitting down and exploiting the deaths of innocent people for their financial gains.

You guys have a fetish for blaming Ibo people for everything. Like all Northern Nigerians are liberal loving people and Yorubaland is paradise.
Re: SSS Reveals "SMS Threat Syndicate" Masquerading As Boko Haram - Saharareporters by JamesDoe: 3:43pm On Dec 01, 2011
The article doesn't blame anybody in general but four syndicates specifically.

The syndicates identified include three that were led by Igbo men. That much is clear.

No zone is paradise. We are all suffering in Nigeria and a renegotiation of the Union is required, but all zones have bad elements within them. In this case, three Igbo led syndicated are using Boko Haram to make money. An interesting development, should we ignore it?

How many places have this  four-man gang bombed? How many people have they killed? Let us not take off our eyes from the ball because a few bad eggs disingenuously capitalize on a bad situation for profit.

the real issue here is that 1. There is political boko harem  represented by Ndume. 2. There is the business Boko Haram which has also been unravelled. But the most dangerous and critical of these boko harams is 3. The boko haram who are driven by religious fanaticism and terrorism.

They are the origInal and dastardly boKo haram whose origin there is no shortage of literature on.

To lose sight of these because of the business wing will spell a disaster.

To be honest I was shocked when the guy who is from my region was named as member of Boko Haram and he claimed he is a vonvert and now fellow kindren look at all these names with a proven tracks record of all their deeds everyone of them from around same region.

Sorry I dont want to talk or say anything because if I talk now some silly one would say oh your name read bisiaet you are a pretender and so on because they are myopic in thinking believing that bisiaet mean a Yoruba name is so unfortunate now I have be waiting for them to wake up or return from their sleep or holiday and attack me and say am a fake Igbo but the truth is if all these guys were Yoruba or Hausa by now this thread page would've reached page 10 or page 16 calling them all sorts of names Now where are my brothers to condemn this i d i o t s who claimed to be an Igbo origin and doing Boko animal business? The truth is bitter and very good saying it, Its a big shame.
Re: SSS Reveals "SMS Threat Syndicate" Masquerading As Boko Haram - Saharareporters by Rhino5dm: 4:49pm On Dec 01, 2011
I was expecting to see the names of Buhari and Tunde Bakare on the list. So, these vampires are among the terrorist attacking us? I remember how they issue a threat leading to the closure of Uniben and cause a big panic at Uni Ibadan.

BTW, does it matter wether you use toy or real gun to scare people off their money?
I read with utter dismay how some poeple are trying to water down this threats, by inventing categories in the activity of Boko Haram. Goto any US shopping mall with fake strap bomb and see if you get multiple life sentence.

Terrorism is terrosism! No lesser one.

Those guys should be treated as full blown terrosit.

Welcome to the new era of "Okoro Boko Haram"!

Why is it that most financially motivated crimes are associated with a particular shameless ethnic group called ''Igbos''?
They are the ones that sell their prides and glories for money in Nigeria, They are the one disgracing us all over the one
Go to Malaysia, they are there committing frauds, because of them, travelling to China is now very difficult for Nigerians, even in south korea, south Africa, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, Ukraine and so on, they are there busy drawing our faces in the mud.

They make this festive period dangerous to people, they are too desperate to get rich and even when they get the money, they don't spend it wisely.

Please let their worthless leaders talk some senses in to them, They are disgrace to this nation.
