The Federal Government said it has arrested some politicians over evidence of their ties with the dreaded terror sect, Boko haram.

Speaking at a news briefing today at the National Information Centre Abuja, the Coordinator of the Joint Information Centre for Security, Mike Omeiri, said following the recent arrest of some members of Boko Haram in Bauchi and Borno states, some materials retrieved from them after detailed investigation had evidential links with the politicians they have arrested. He however declined to disclose the names of the politicians.

Also speaking, the spokesperson for the State Security Service SSS, Marilyn Ogar accused the #bringbackourgirlscampaign of running bank accounts. She said the Nigerian security agents have information that the #Bringbackourgirls campaign now operate bank accounts and also compel members to register and carry tags before joining.

In a swift reaction, the convener of the #bringbackourgirls campaign and a former Minister of Education, Dr Oby Ezekwesili in a telephone interview with Channels TV last night, refuted the claims made by the SSS spokesperson.

"It's absolute falsehood. In fact I call it a cocktail of falsehood. We don't need bank account. This is strictly a citizens movement and neither do we need to register members. There is no person who walks over to the Unity Fountain that has not participated in our meetings.

There is absolutely no truth to that and I think that should really worry Nigerians that our own state security sadly could actually put out such....I don't even know what to call it".
Asked how the campaign is being funded, Dr Ezekwesili said;

"Well its very simple. The needs that we have are so basic. Its the Tee shirts and I can see some of the people in tee shirts and I can see some of the people wearing those face caps, that's all we need and what normally happens is that all these members you see there, some bring in 10 Teeshirts, some 100. There is nothing that will need any kind of money, so you know this is really a pedestrian kind of falsehood" she said

Give us names, or don't they have names?? these politicians!!

nice move

If you wouldn't tell us their names then don't tell us the news.

It's someone requesting for a pen in an exam hall and makes a request to the whole class for a pen. Then I answer by saying I av 1 beht it's at home. Wtf

for the sake of Nigerians still alive, please publish the names of these savages who lack conscience.

Bull and cock story. So these politicians are nameless abi? Next you will hear it was Buhari and Tinubu. If GEJ wants Bokoharam eliminated, he would have sincerely fixed this. But its glaring it didn't care about the Northerners, they can die for all the president cares. Let's see if GEJ can get 1 single vote in the North come 2015. The truth is, even the northerners will pocket his cash, but not even Muazu will vote for this racist and failure of a leader.

I don't believe this story.

Boko Haram can't flourish without people in power. All those indicted should be charged with treason,and made to face the full weight of the law.

Pictures & Names of the politicians or.....

CVWizards: I don't believe this story.

It is a confirmed story. All i want is their names. At least they should prosecute them in the glaring eyes of the public. We are the ones suffering from these menace the most, is their names too hard to give out?

lonelydora: Keep it to urself if u r not telling us their names

This is according to dailyindependent;

“The politicians are being interrogated
following the recovery of some sensitive
registration cards and other materials of a
prominent political party that were found in
the possession of some of the suspects
arrested .

“ Investigation is still ongoing to further
unravel the identity of others that may have
been involved and as soon as it is
completed, we shall reveal the names of the
culprits and the political party , ” he stated .

One of the two parties we know are sponsors of bokoharam. tick tock tick tock....

i hope this is not some sort of witch hunting!

We need names!

Cut off the head of the snake, and the rest of the body will die soon enough.

Hermanie:

are you a Muslim

No, why did you ask..?

When a common man is caught doing wrong by law enforcement agents, heavens will fall if their name is not spat out in every media outlet by law enforcement agency spokesmen. But when a bigger crook, and a killer, though a politician, is caught, it becomes a taboo to mention their name. Just the other day, former French president, Sarcozy, was whisked from his home to go answer to crimes he committed bothering on election funding. Belusconi of Italy suffered similar fate and has now been barred from participating in politics. Ehud Olmet of Israel too wasn't spared!!! These were all number 1 citizens of those countries. Why is this country like this Yet they expect us to be respected by the international community.

A prominent political party? Na PDP na!


PDP na Boko Haram,Boko Haram na PDP

-AOA

yenex1: no names? we want Thier names.i want to know if my grand pa is among

Loolx, you can't be serious!!
