Notorious leader of the radical Islamic fundamentalist sect, Boko-haram, Abubakar Shekau started his ‘ministry’ in an expansive land located within a remote village in Niger state a few years ago before they were dislodged by the state government.

Abubakar Shekau, the acclaimed spokesman of a factional group of the sect led by, Abubakar Kaka who is believed to have been killed by men of the Joint Task Force (JTF) in Maiduguri were dislodged from the then, Daru-Islam by security operatives in the year, 2009.

Niger state Governor, Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu who made this known in Minna when he met with traders at the government house also confirmed that the pictures of both Shekau and Abu Kaka posted regularly on the sects websites and published in newspapers are the same with the ones the security agents captured before the duo were dislodged from Niger state.


*Gov Aliyu Babangida of Niger State
The Governor said but for the proactive nature adopted by the security agencies in dislodging the group from the state and the support given by state government, Niger state would been the headquarters of the dreaded sect.

Governor Aliyu said it is necessary for all Nigerians to rise up and oppose the activities of the fundamentalists which he said has had untold negative effects on the economy of not only the northern part of the country but Nigeria as a whole.

He said for any business to thrive it must be in a peaceful and secured environment, insisting that in view of the series of attacks on security men in Niger state capital government will tighten security within and outside Minna the state capital and therefore asked that they should cooperate with security operatives handling the exercise.

Defending the movement of the old Minna central market to its present location, Governor Aliyu said the market when it was established did not envisage the rapid growth the state capital had witnessed.

When the market was at its old location it contributed to congestion being experienced in the city centre, Aliyu said adding that the other market at PZ area of Minna will soon be moved to the Kure market to give more room for the development of the Minna city centre.

Aliyu told his guests that critics of the administration were those who wanted him to be sharing public money without embarking on any developmental programmes, insisting that the same people will in no distant future turn round to say he (Aliyu) spent 8 years without anything to show for it.

Governor Aliyu who solicited for the continued support of the administration in its developmental strides said, “My government will not share money, what is uppermost in my mind now is the development of the state”.

The traders through their spokesmen Alhaji Mohammed Umoru and Alhaji Dandere pledged their loyalty to Governor Aliyu and his administration but asked that the governor should reduce the series of levies they have to pay daily in the markets.

I hope Gov. Aliyu has sanitized his state well of these sect! Otherwise he better watch his back , his relatives and property o!

They supported them before but seems the table is turning on em now

However,Wherever, they are evil and should be curbed quickly,not celebrated!

hw did u kne d supported them,,bk are killing both muslim nd christn

hydoo: hw did u kne d supported them,,bk are killing both muslim nd christn

Why didnt dey condemn them publicly like this at the inception....they were simply paying lip service then, now that it has become a monster that is very hard to tame, they are changing tactics

Talba Minna loves d glitz n glamour dat comes 4rm media attention so much dat he has sumtin 2 say(rightly or wrongly, sensible or not) anytime a man wt a camera n microphone pops up. He shld knw dat ds is hz 5+yr of "billboard" governance & niger state citizens are groaning.

Why is he priding himself "we chased them out of our state" only to create a monster in Maiduguri, bauchi, kano and elsewhere. If the servant leader had shared security information ealier may BH would hv been crushed.

He has taken first as the most show-up governor of the year. I don't know the merit he is claiming whereas the most potent terrorists attack on a religious building so far happened in his state( the madalla church bombing). Thugs who they call 'yan- Banga' are having a field day with even offices, uniform and patrol van. Don't just fall into their traps by mistake or otherwise, especially when you are not an indigen. When you go through his state , you will see hundreds of gigantic bill bored at every strategic place depicting no meaningful message. He has manipulated the state assembly so much that for the five years he has ruled he has changed their speaker five times. He has been very successful in fighting his political enemies. As educated as he is, the public secondary and primary school in the state are in shamble.Nigerlites are just praying for his time to elapse so that they can breath a fresh air again.

hydoo: hw did u kne d supported them,,bk are killing both muslim nd christn

Oh!,BH is killing both Christians and Muslims. U are right! How many times have they bombed mosque?.we should stop supporting evil so that evil would not dwell in our houses forever

hydoo: hw did u kne d supported them,,bk are killing both muslim nd christn

bk are killing Christians nd "some" muslims that didn't attend mosques to know which road and what shops to avoid at a particular time of the day..

This man never disappoints,always spewing trash. If he had such intelligence reports as he claims,why didn't he share it with security agencies? After all Abuja which is the hq of most security agencies is very close to him. Am sure if he had shared this vital info, somehow it wouldn't have degenerated into this monster that has consumed many lives and properties. Maybe he wants the FG to create a boko
Haram infested states and a boko haram infected states' development commission like the niger delta states and niger delta development commission.

Oh tanx to u gov aliyu bt y u no tel fed govt? Abegi stp seekin cheap popularity jos

If you want Ť☺ blame any northern muslim for BH, not Niger state Gov B. Aliyu. Kano, Borno, Yobe aŋԂ Bauchi are all anti christians aŋԂ anti Western ᵝȳ nature hence τhe striving of BH there

This man that calls himself the Chief Servant of Niger State is just busy serving himself the stat is in a worse state than it ws during the reign of Abdulkadir Kure.

Gov Babaginda's statement is a political statement; it's not true. D settlement of darul islam was very peaceful until Babangida sacked d place because the residents were open supporters of ex-gov kure, Babangida's political foe. Boko haram started in Maiduguri in 2001 and operated as a peaceful preaching group under Mohammed Yusuf. It continued its activities peacefully for 8 years, with large following across d North East. They were known to hav hobnobbed with ev-gov Sherrif, who appointed Baba Fugu religious Affairs commissioner. Baba fugu was a respected Boko Haram elder known for his views against violence, but was dragged out of his house and killed by police in d crises of 2009. The violence started in 2009 when gov sheriff fell out with Boko haram and started using police to arrest nd kill BH members,sometimes in large numbers. Boko haram then started to acquire arms which Mohammed Yusuf said was for self defence.Thus began d violence we ar seeing today. Gov Babangida, a talkative man who's one of the least performing governor's, is trying to claim political credit by his statement to boost his move to contest for PDP presidential ticket in 2015.

the root of boko haram is deeper than wil all know.

medicine after death. why didnt he say it earlier? all these northern governor self. wolves in sheep clothing. Aliyu fall hand here patapata

He should go jump off a cliff.he called himself chief servant but did nothing,he actually was an emperor.

Mr Governor!!! I don't think this is an achievement to lay claim on.

BH = Borno political thugs by 2001. Mala Kachalla and Ali Modu Sheriff all governed Borno state all with ?

IBB must knw abt them then!

I still want answer to this simple question... Why attack churches and christians if u are fightin against a muslim govt?... Why nt attack mosques (car suicide nt through a lone bomber)?. If boko is political like some people want us to believe, why do they back their actions with verses 4rm the qu'ran?, why FIGHTING for islamic law 2 b implememted across Nigeria?..

Initially all boko haram attacks were directed against the security forces and leading Borno state govt figures. They regarded the attacks as avenging the killing of their members. Boko haram later changed its tactics to attacking not only churches but also muslim clerics who speak against them and ward heads they suspected of telling on them. According to analysts, the attacks on churhes is a strategy to provoke retaliation on mosques with the aim to start a full scale muslim-christian war across d country. As an observer i will say that their strategy has failed because majority of christians and muslims in this country are not interested in senseless killings and violence. People want to live in peace but sadly the govt is not imaginative enough to reign in d violence. D talk of Islamising nigeria we all know is empty talk. Mohammed Yusuf's preaching before d violence started was against all d injustices we see in d society and that gravitated the poverty stricken masses to his group. His central theme was that d system of education we are operating is one of the causes of the ills of our society; therefore, western education has failed society. He advocated a combination of religious and western education. In one of his interviews with BBC he denied advocating end to western education, but insisted that equal emphasis should also be placed on Islamic education. However because of his fiery attacks on western education, people began to call them "Boko haram"(western education is evil).

Then we shold award him the Boko prize for piss: namsense man
