Missiles To Boko Haram: Political Associate of Chadian president Arrested by Cubeet: 11:17pm On Nov 22, 2014
A close political associate of Chadian President Idriss Déby Itno, Mahamat Bichara Gnoti, has been arrested as he
tried to transfer missiles he purchased from the Sudanese army meant for Boko Haram terrorist in northeastern
Nigeria.


As Cameroonian investigative journalist, Bisong
Etahoben, reports via Twitter, Mr. Gnoti was arrested
on the Chadian-Sudan border with 19 SAM2 missiles.
Reportedly, Mr. Gnoti, who claimed that President Idriss Déby gave him the funds to purchase the weapons, had waved a presidential pass issued to him by Mr. Deby’s office in order to get past border guards but was stopped and searched by the guards who found the deadly weapons on him.

According to the Sahara Reporters, there has not
been an official confirmation or denial either by the
Chadian or the Nigerian authorities. The office of
Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd), the National Security
Adviser in Nigeria also doesn’t respond. While an aide
said Mr. Dasuki is traveling in Mexico.

However, the arrest of Mr. Gnoti, if confirmed, will
provide solid evidence that the Chadian President is
largely behind Boko Haram lightning insurgency in
Nigeria’s northwest.
Recently, Mr. Derby swindled the Nigerian
government of millions of dollars in a failed attempt
to negotiate the release of over 200 Chibok schoolgirls
abducted by Boko Haram in April.
On September 8th, President Goodluck Jonathan
made a dramatic visit to N’djamena to meet with Idris
Derby , Mr. Jonathan was accompanied on the trip by
former Governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sherrif.
The visit was condemned by opposition figures and civil
society groups in Nigeria as they see it as an open
embrace of individuals funding Boko Haram militants.

An Australian negotiator, Stephen Davis had accused
Mr. Sheriff and former Chief of Army Staff, Azubuike
Ihejirika of actively funding Boko Haram.

So Derby secretly sponsors Boko Haram. In the open he pretends to be for us. If this story is true, Nigeria should deal with him seriously.
