Government on Friday revealed how international terror group, al-Qaeda, planned to recruit educated Nigerians for terrorist activities.
Court processes filed by the Federal Ministry of Justice before the Federal High Court in Abuja in an extradition request case gave details of the plot anchored by a Nigerian who is now in custody of the security agency.
According to court papers, the Nigerian, Lawal Olaniyi Babafemi, who escaped arrest in the United States and was arrested in Nigeria, informed security agencies during interrogation that he was paid thousands of dollars to recruit English-speaking Nigerians into the terrorist organization.
The Federal Government is asking the court to extradite 32-year-old Babafemi, also nicknamed (‘Abdullah’ and ‘Ayatollah Mustapher’) to the United States where he is being wanted for his alleged involvement in terrorism-related activities.
In an application for extradition filed before the court, the Federal Government exhibited a four-count charge marked 13CR-109-JG filed against him before the United States District Court of the Eastern District of New York and a bench warrant issued for his arrest by a US magistrate.
Babafemi is charged with “conspiracy to provide support to a foreign terrorist organisation, provision and attempted provision of material support to a foreign terrorist organisation, unlawful use of firearms and conspiracy to unlawfully use firearms.”
The offences, on conviction, attract a minimum sentence of 10 years or maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
Babafemi, until now was based in the US. He fled to Nigeria after realising that the United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was after him.
He has since been arrested and is being held by the Department of State Services (DSS).
Documents filed by the Federal Government before the court revealed that the US authorities believe that Babafemi belongs to the “al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP),” an affiliate of al-Qaeda.
He allegedly travelled to Yemen between January 2010 and August 2011 to train with the group and relate with its senior members, including the now deceased Anwar al-Aulaqi and Samir Khan.
Babafemi was said to have admitted, upon interrogation, that he was paid about $8,600 by the AQAP to return to Nigeria and recruit some English-speaking individuals to work in AQAP’s English language media organisation.
The media organsation is believed to serve as the AQAP’s medium of radicalising English speakers, whom it recruits to commit terrorist attacks on its behalf.
The group had claimed responsibility for series of terrorist activities, including the December 25, 2009 bombing attempt in the US by a Nigerian, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.
The extradition application could not be heard when it was taken to court owing to its late service on Babafemi’s counsel, S. O. Yahaya.
State’s counsel and Head, Central Authority Unit, Federal Ministry of Justice, Muslim Hassan, who said court processes were served on Babafemi a day before his appearance in court, however, agreed to Yahaya’s request for more time to file his counter-processes.
The trial judge, Justice A. R. Mohammed, later fixed hearing in the suit for August 28.

Sincere 9gerian: The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Tuesday declared that the recent decision by the Osun State Government to mix up some Muslim students with their Christian counterparts in missionary schools was a ploy to Islamise the state.

In a statement issued in Abuja, the National General-Secretary of CAN, Rev. Musa Asake, said the move by the state Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, was part of a grand plan to systematically silence Christians in the state.

He said if the decision by the state government was not reversed, CAN would be left with no other option than to use legal means to resist such moves.

The CAN further alleged that the plans to Islamise the state was not peculiar to the education sector alone.

It questioned a recent loan purportedly secured by the state government from the Islamic Bank.

He said: “We have been following the events in the state. To get to this point where they are trying to bring some Muslims to mix them with Christian students is a ploy. There is a no pretence about it and we are going to resist it. I totally disagree that the Islamisation of the state is not peculiar to the education sector alone. They've an agenda.

“If you follow the event in that state and the way the governor is going about doing his own things, he has an agenda. Why is he particular about Christian schools? If he really wants to promote education in that state, why can't he build other schools? Why is he particular about Christian schools? We Christians can no longer fold our hands and allow them do what they want.”

Asake further accused the past and present governments of intentionally ignoring the plight of Christians, stressing that Christians had been reduced to second class citizens in their own country.

According to him, “40 years ago, under the supervision of a Christian minority head of state, General Yakubu Gowon, someone, somewhere brought the idea that mission schools should be taken over. Now watch! 40 years later, under the supervision of another Christian minority president, Goodluck Jonathan, almajiri schools have been introduced.

Reacting to CAN’s allegation, the state government said it was puerile and ignoble.

A statement by the governor's spokesman, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, said: “It is most disheartening that the seething distrust and unhealthy rivalry among people of different faiths in Nigeria are the parameters which some people have decided to use to measure the actions of the governor of the state.

"For CAN to allege, once again, that Aregbesola is Islamising the state beats the imagination of every right-thinking people. This is the governor that has, for the first time, ensured fairness among people of all faiths. At least, it is on record that the three religions have at one time or the other accused the governor of promoting one religion over the other.

“What amounts to promoting one religion over the other in the thinking of the zealots is no more than the decision of the administration to allow people practise their faiths without any hindrance.”

dr dams: Concerning d Ifa saga, my point is dat I shud av introduced a general course on Cultural Studies instead of picking Ifa specifically.
There r plethora of knowledge to b acquired by school children.. This will enhance preservation of our cultural heritage.
Wateva ur religion, it will b shameful if u cant talk about ur background.,
the social studies and yoruba language as subjects are not enough to achieve this objective.
Picking Ifa specifically isnt enough, ther r many gods and other mythological scheme they shud get aquainted with.

But of d truth, in a way, it appears he displays a bias for Islam..

kingoflag: Why does it seem to me like Nigerian Christians are worse, hypocritical and very intolerant of others than their Muslim counterparts?

gratiaeo: In southwest their is nothing like religious blablablabla...... Those people complaining must come from Niger

Don Magic Juan:

This is how you guys turned a blind eye to boko haram.

Rauf has been indicted in the U.S. by affiliation with a major terrorist recruiter

Sincere 9gerian:
Those guys are shameless hypocrites. They all conveniently turned a blind eye to where it was stated that the state govt is trying destroy the structure of the Christian schools. Why is the state govt invading the Christian schools? The govt is to set the standards and monitor the private schools for compliance. Standards has nothing to do with trying to convert only girls schools to mixed schools forcefully. That has nothing to do with standards. If the govt is desirous of having mixed public schools, it should go ahead and build more public schools. Aregbe should leave the christian schools alone. He should take his Ifa subject and other indolatrous subjects elsewhere

Who told you IFA is a god?

And if youre talking about "mythology", when was the last time Jesus that the white man sold to you had a full blown 20-min convo with you?

erad:
I really wish to understand how your brain works if it ever works at all. Sometimes I wonder if you go through your own posts and see how senseless and myopic they are. Even if you have to lick PDP's ass, at least apply little knowledge. The only conclusion I've arrived at about you is... You are either a well paid PDP propagandist or an ordinary individual without any atom of conscience. I really don't know how I'll stand for the things you stand for and be able to wake up every morning and look at myself in the mirror.

cKaiser:

^^ The girl only school, Is it not the govt paying the salary of the teachers there?

Or these Christian schools who is paying the salary of the staff and maintaining the structure

Sincere 9gerian:
We'r talking about private Christian schools. The govt did not build the schools, neither is it paying the salaries of the staff. It is immoral to try to forcefully restructure christians schools that do not belong to the govt. Why cant the govt build its own schools and do whatever it wants with them?

Sincere 9gerian:
“If you follow the event in that state and the way the governor is going about doing his own things, he has an agenda. Why is he particular about Christian schools?
