Fresh facts have emerged as to why the government of late Sani Abacha did not kill Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), governor, Lamido Sanusi, in 1995, after he and eight other jihadists mobilized crazed extremists to behead Gideon Akaluka in jail
Akaluka, a young igbo trader, allegedly desecrated the Koran. He was arrested after his wife allegedly used pages of the Koran as toilet paper for her baby. After he was locked up by the police, a group of Muslim fundamentalists break into the jail, beheaded Akaluka, and paraded his bodiless head around the streets of Kano.
Pointblanknews.com investigation has revealed the role Sanusi, an alleged Boko Haram sympathizer, and proponent of the controversial Islamic Bank, played in the murder of Akaluka, and why the Abacha regime decided to lock him up for two years for the murder of Akaluka.
Sources hinted that shortly after returning from Khartoum, Sudan where he earned a degree in Sharia and Islamic studies, at the International University of Africa, Sanusi became a recluse and immersed himself in the Koran and became a teacher of the Hadith as espoused by the Wahabbists.
Wahhabism is an ultra-conservative branch of Sunni Islam. It is a religious movement among fundamentalist (with an aspiration to return to the primordial fundamental Islamic sources Qur`an, Hadeeth and Scholarly consensus (Ijma)) Islamic believers. Wahhabism was a popular revivalist movement instigated by an eighteenth century theologian, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703–1792) from Najd, Saudi Arabia.
Sanusi, who is alleged to detests the President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, because according to him, it is anti-islam, was part of a nine man clique of extremists who had a huge following.
A source said, “ when Sanusi returned from Sudan where he associated with very extreme personalities, he was not a happy man. he was treated like an outcast in royal circles because his grandfather, was deposed as Emir of Kano. So his anger grew. “
During that period, the incident of desecration of the Koran by the Akalukas surfaced. According to our source, during that period the Abacha government was not comfortable with the activities of the extremists in Kano, who they view with suspicion.
The regime, it was gathered, silently assassinated a lot of them. Said our source “ When Akaluka was locked up, Sanusi and eight others mobilized some extremist mob who stormed the prison and killed Akaluka. The regime identified the masterminds, so mandated its hit squad to eliminate the nine, including Sanusi .”
Pointblanknews.com gathered that eight of the masterminds were assassinated by Abacha, but for the intervention of former First Bank chairman, and father of Christmas Day bomber, Alhaji Umar Mutallab and others.
“ It was Muttallab and the rest who were heavy sponsors of Islamic activities who prevailed on Abacha to spare Sanusi. They are argued that since he has gone through a lot, treated like a pariah in the royal circles because his grandfather was deposed, he should be spared. So They decided to remove him from Kano to Sokoto where he was locked up for two years.” Said the source
It was further learnt that after his release from prison, Sanusi was handed over to Mutallab who pushed him into banking because he(Sanusi) had a degree in Economics from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU). From there he moved to the United Bank for Africa, and the First bank, from where he rose quietly until late President Umar Yar’Adua recruited him to head CBN and spearhead the introduction of the Islamic Bank.

People in the know about security in Nigeria like former NSA Gen. Gusau was one of the most vocal oponents of Sanusi from day one, unfortunately, we're in Nigeria where the good perish and the evil thrive and prosper.
Thanks for the update, at least one smart journalist would ask Sanusi his role in the assasination of Gideon Akalaka in Kano, and why he was jailed for 2 years in Sokoto

Na waoo

What's with all these Abacha threads popping out?

Not suprise & more is comming.

Very cheap journalism, you can go to any lenght to smear the names of north
and Northeners.
Go on the whole world knows where you are heading.. Another sensational story again
we are waiting...

Instead of bringing facts that will debunk stories we dont like, we turn nairaland to nursery playground with flimsy & stupid comments. Pls verify the Sanusi Story from other sources not just your head.

Hmmm. . .

Interesting reading.

This is a complete fiction, it lacks fact...I wonder how people will read this and not see through it...please stop feeding us with cooked stories

This allegation against sanusi is very serious and should be investigated.
Did sanusi spend time in jail,and if yes,for what offence was he locked up.

Hmmm... An interesting, creative work of fiction. Keep it up, OP, you're definitely going places.

this pointblank article was written 5months ago, died a natural death for lack of substance and evidence. so abacha killed all the culprit but left sanusi because he will one day becoome cbn governor abi? read the story carefully you would realise how distorted it is, trying hard to link sls with boko haram even bringing alhaji mutallab's name that the america govt has forgotten about.

'SLS graduated from ABU in 1981 at age 20. Does it mean that he was unemployed from 1981 t0 1995? For the avoidance of any doubt, Sanusi lectured in ABU from 1983 to 1985, worked with Icon Ltd (merchant bankers) from 1985 to 1997, UBA, 1997 to 2005, FBN 2005 to 2009 and CBN 2009 to date. This means that he had up to 24 years banking experience before becoming governor of the CBN.'

if sls was an exconvict, he must have been sacked somewhere, or at least we should know which of the prisons he was. trust me if this story had any credibility, sahara reporters would have done their investigation. opponent of sls would have used exconvict fact against him.

I didn't bother to read more than a few paragraphs.
The whole story is a ridiculous work of fiction but I stopped reading when they wrote that he was imprisoned for 2 years.
Anyone that takes this obvious lie serious must definitely be a simpleton.

so far the best rebuttal to the op s post. Oya op prove this post wrong wit facts if you dare

Sanusi is an Islamic nut job no doubt about that. The man makes statements of educated substance sometimes and make others that sound like Gumi or Shekau.

But whether he could come to the lower level of attacking some Akalaka guy is questionable. Although Sanusi's utterances and or association might have cause the death of the Gideon person..

another junk

..i cldnt say more!the truth some day will be made known.may the soul of Akaluga rest in perfect peace!Amen
