FG arraigns two suspected Nigerian members of Al-Qaeda


Two alleged members of the Al-Qaeda network, Babafemi Lawal and Luqman Babatunde, natives of Ogun and Lagos states, respectively, were on Thursday arraigned before an Abuja Federal High Court by the Federal Government.

Lawal and Babatunde allegedly received the sum of N1m from the terrorist organisation, Al-Qaeda in Arabian Peninsula also known as AQAP in Yemen, to fund the recruitment and transportation of prospective Nigerian members of the terrorist group to Yemen.

The alleged action constituted an offence contrary to Section 13(a) of Terrorism (Prevention) Act 2011 and punishable under paragraph (c) of the same section of the Act.

Also, their alleged attendance of a meeting of the terrorist network, was an offence under Section 3 (c) of the Terrorism (Prevention) Act 2011.

The accused persons pleaded not guilty to the six-count charge brought against them by the Attorney General of the Federation.

The presiding judge, Justice Gladys Olotu, ordered that the accused persons be remanded in prison custody.

Parts of the charges against them read, “That you Olaniyi Babafemi Lawal, 31, of Ijebu Ode, Ogun State on or about May 2011 at Abuja, willfully received monies in Saudi Riyals and the United State of American Dollars equivalent to N1,000,000.00 from a terrorist organisation known as Al-Qaeda in Arabian Peninsula, also known as AQAP in Yemen, with intent that the said money shall be used to recruit and transport prospective members of the terrorist group to Yemen.

Seriously?!

Blood of Jesus.

I am glad they were caught before much damage - now they must face maximum penalty.

I hope the rest of the SW is implementing serious intelligence gathering to forestall the evil designs of these lunatics that claim to be worshiping the almighty.

Meanwhile, we need rapid exposure of those behind BH in the north where the damage is already beyond repairs.

Good one!

This story is unbelievable and probably inaccurate. The fools who are unable to trace BH sponsors and their leaders now want us to believe that they were able to link a measly N1million to Al Quaeda. SMH

Jesus wept.

Am not surprise. Yorubas are synonymous with their hausa almajiri brothers.

Yorubas are more terrorists that even the hausas.
