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.

MY SINCERE TAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!
'He was the head of an eight man
clique that invaded kano police
station beheaded Gideon Alakuata
and paraded his head around kano'
This kind of statements are used to refer to rogues Islamic fundamentalists but who would have thought he was one of them?
Most Nigerians would surely revel about the fact that This 'gentleman' was and could probably still be a fundamentalist little wonder why himself alongside ex Borno State Governor were mentioned by the Australian negotiator as being possible sponsors.
Why we didn't even hear a single statement from that fellow after the shoking revelation still leaves more to be asked .

Abacha did not kill people as all these headlines like to imply.

Please name 1 person that was killed by Abacha without due process of the law?

sanusi the upright man. I smh for this country, there would be peace in Nigeria without this northern killers, abacha would have been Nigeria's best president but just that he wasn't smart and intelligent. yes he stole but he made sure no one stole. as for sanusi he would soon be dethroned just like his grandfather.
