2mch: One thing these people don't understand is Yoruba culture. We are all traceable by family or compound names. No one can just come and say you are Yoruba.

no need for long story, yorubas anywhere around d world are one family and are UNITED people.

amosy007: There is no way a yorubaman no matter how deep his/her religious believe that wnt bear a yoruba name or be able to trace its lineage... I Have lived with them long enough to know them... Thats why i doubted when i first read the previous post

True.

Mr. Globe:

Igbos are christians! Christians are not terrorists!!! They should brk up this nation for Christ's sake before 2015!

False.

Who didnt know Yorobas are terrorists, there grand sponsors TINUBU and AregbeRascal should be arrested as well

The yoruba's are trying to cover their a¤¤...why would their arrest his wife and children,after his been arrested,this detail of being a yoruba can take more than 1hr to find is family root in Ogbomoso.....abi the yorubas r afraid of bad stain and war.Kia

I am not surprised that d guy is a yoruba. I graduated from bayero university, kano. I know that most of of the violent and extremist muslims in buk then were yoruba and igbira

Most Yoruba muslims in the north don't like identifyin themselves as yoruba. You hardly hear them speak yoruba. There is this girl in my class. I never knew she is a yoruba becos she neva speaks yoruba and she always cover and she only speak hausa and hangs out with the hausa. I only recently got to know that she is a yoruba. It was shocking to me because this is someone in my class attending lectures together for 4 years

You attended BUK!
That is one fearful place indeed! You feel hateful eyes watching wherever you go, the atmosphere in the place is completely unhealthy and the names of the roads on campus are all about the Middle east, Gadaffi etc.

I wasn't in the least bit suprised to hear about the recent boko haram attack there on innocent staff and students.

Truth is the hardest thing to find in Nigeria. It is unbelievable that a high profile criminal would be caught and the only information the security agencies will release is that he is from Ogbomoso in Osun state!
This government is incompetent and lack respect for the Nigerian people. We need to know what is going on, period.

That is a total falsehood, the "Ogbomosho" info was not released by the security agencies, but by the Nation, the Punch and the Vanguard.
The security agencies have announced that they will not release any info on the man beyond that he is a boko haram commander.

Those whipping up ethnic sentiments know exactly what they are doing. If you are easy to sway with ethnic sentiment, then it is your weakness, bro; you will continue to be used by nefarious forces.

these hypocrites fools they cant accept depeat,

What information is the government providing? Do we have any right to know who this man is?

^
Why should govt provide you info on a man that has not been interrogated? Are you going to interrogate him or what?
The man is Yoruba, which is suprising. But considering that Igbo's, Ebira's and previously a Yoruba Brigadier General have all been arrested as boko haram operatives, I wonder what makes Suleiman Mohammed's case so special?

Beaf: ^

Did American government interrogate the Oklahoma city bomber, Abdul Muttalab and numerous other terrorists before their identities were revealed?

Has anybody heard of Brigadier General Muraino Raji, the former Commander of 33 Artillery Brigade, Bauchi?
I wonder why decibels were not raised when he was arrested last year, is he not Yoruba too?

Why is Suleiman Mohammed's case so special? The amount of noise generated is both stup!d and very dissapointing.
The man is a cold-hearted murderer of women, children and innocent men, who cares if he is from Pluto or Mars?

This government is opaque, we shouldn't have to beg before they release information that is of interest to the Nigerian people.

Lets not drag logic into the gutter.

Did the American govt tell you the name Muttalab's village and point out his fathers compound? That is the id!otic demand being made here in defence of the innocent blood the murderer has spilt.

No, who did? The pilot of the aircraft he attempted to bomb?

I challenge you to provide a quote of the US telling us Mutallabs village and where his fathers compound is. Deal?

No bro, there is nothing opaque about the handling of the info concerning the guy in question. Indeed, if the govt wishes not to say a word further about who he is, there will be nothing anyone can do. We do not have any right to know the details about security matters; that is a priviledge, not a right.
Even the US you mentioned has Guantanamo Bay that Mutallab must be thanking Jesus for not allowing him attend. Cosit is the the equivalent of Satans own dungeon on Earth. A veritable blackhole that swallows terrorists and erases any evidence of their humanity, talkless of releasing info,

Yeah, we are both saying the same thing; The truth is the hardest thing to find in Nigeria.

You are right that the truth is hard to find in Nigeria, but we will only further hide it by forwarding ethnic arguments in defense of a bloody minded criminal. IMHO, we should all just let the matter takes its route through interrogation and the courts.

There are Hausa, Birom, Edo and Tiv criminals. Their crimes do not define their ethnic groups, rather each criminal is an individual gone wrong.

It look like the govt is trying to frame Yoruba people.

are this people Yoruba too.. no

LocalChamp: Yorubas disown Kano Boko Haram leader

• Ogbomoso community also disowns him


The Yoruba in Kano and especially the Ogbomoso people yesterday denounced media reports which described a suspected operational commander of Boko Haram in the metropolis as a Yoruba from the Oyo State town.


Yoruba trade mark, denial and betrayal.


Suleiman Mohammed, his wife and five children were arrested by the Joint Military Task Force (JTF) during a dawn raid on his residence at Farawa Quarters on Friday.

Ten crates of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), one AK47 rifle and three pistols were recovered in his residence.

As soon as the various publications hit the newsstands yesterday, the Yoruba within and outside Kano began putting phone calls through to their contacts to ascertain the background of the suspect with no one able to confirm ever knowing him or his origin.

A group of concerned natives of Ogbomoso dismissed the reports as "suspicious and lacking in clarity".

Spokesman for the group, Mr Afolabi Omotoso, advised the security agencies to be thorough in their investigations and stop playing to the gallery.

"We are saying with all emphasis that there is no Ogbomoso indigene bearing that name. And if the security operatives doubt it, let them tell us the suspect’s family compound name. We demand for clarity of purpose from the security agencies", he said.

A source at the palace of the monarch of Ogbomoso who pleaded anonymity because he was not authorised to speak told The Nation on phone, "Since the news broke the palace has been inundated with calls and enquiries. However, our reaction for now is that we’ll want to know more about the suspect. Who is his father and from which compound or adugbo (ward) does he come from."

According to him, because a suspect claims he hails from a place is not enough to believe him. He called on security agencies to do their investigations well before making public information that would further divide the country and lead to disaffection.

Also, former secretary of the Yoruba community in Kano, who simply identified himself as Ojo for security reasons, said the suspect is not known to the group.

He said the Yoruba in the metropolis network very well and are reasonably familiar with one another adding that Suleiman Mohammed is not known to any member of the Yoruba community.

He said:"As far as we are concerned we do not know him. He is only claiming that he hails from Ogbomoso but there is a group, known as Ogbomoso Parapo. You can contact them at their secretariat on Church Road to confirm whether they know him but for the Yoruba parent body in Kano, we do not know him."

He said Suleiman’s alleged action is contrary to the Yoruba core values of religious tolerance, good neighbourliness, and peaceful co-existence.

"No business can be transacted in a chaotic atmosphere, that is why we are very surprised over his involvement in the sect’s activities and we are therefore looking forward to a comprehensive investigation over the incident so that the truth about the issue can be made public."

He particularly demanded the suspect’s Yoruba name to prove that he is actually one, saying : "The Yoruba community doubts his identity as a true Yoruba man. We are interested in knowing his Yoruba name."




In his reaction, the acting president of the Yoruba community in Kano, Prince Ajayi Memaiyetan said the suspect was never known to have participated in the activities of the group and was therefore not known to the community.

Yoruba trade mark, denial and betrayal

Wasn't an ibo arrested for supplying Boko Haram with bomb making components used to murder fellow ibos? Didn't Nzeribe supply the Nigerian government with arms used to kill fellow ibos? Talk of betrayal!

The drama continues

Instead of being reasonable and helping to clarify a simple mixup,some myopic people would rather jump at an opportunity to attack yoruba instead of commending the disowning hence deterring of people that may want to join the sect

Yoruba shud quit noise making for once and reason wt dia heads and nt dia mouth, b4 going public. What if there is evidence that he is Yoruba? Will they still disown or accept d man they publicy condemned. Rather than condemn evil and accept d fact d dat BH is a national phenomenon, they try to view the report as an ethnic blackmail as if Yoruba are sacrosant. The report cud be 100% possibly true given that one, majority of yoruba are muslims, they mostly bear muslim names and some frm Oyo and Osun are extremist e.g Aregbesola. Pls Very d authencity of d report b4 noise making.

Seun,
if the reports is correct Let the security operatives release more information about the GUY now and i believe the CP in OYO state and all other security operatives would assist.
BUT IN THE HISTORY,YORUBA CANNOT LEAD OR ACT IN ANY CAPACITY FOR THE GROOP FROM ALL THE AVAILABLE RECORDS OF THIS COUNTRY.
Please i implore anybody that has a more reliable information should assist us
GOD BLESS NIGERIA
