Barrister Aisha Kalil Wakkil, a human rights
activist with the National Human Rights
Commission, who claims to be a very close
confidant of Boko Haram foot soldiers, has said
she knew some of the insurgents right from when
they were circumcised.
In a recent interview with Daily Trust, on Sunday,
August 16, Wakkil, who has been peacemaking
between the Jama’atu Ahlil Sunnah (Boko
Haram) and the federal government for over five
years spoke on a number of issues.
According to her, the insurgents were very
wonderful children and most of them lived in her
house as it was open to all the children in that
area.
She said: “That was how I got to know most of
them. Then they were not Boko Haram and
Jama’atu ah-lil Sunnah members. It is surprising
how these children turned out to be what they are
now. I keep on saying there is certainly no smoke
without fire. Something must have triggered those
innocent-looking children to grow up behaving the
way they are behaving now. You needed to see
them growing up. Sometimes when I start talking
about them, I shed tears. Those children prayed,
and still pray a lot. I have a mosque in the house
and they would always go in and pray .”
Wakkil narrated how she started noticing changes
in them. How they would go out in the morning
and return in the evening and during the fasting
period, they would not return until around 11 or
12 midnight. They also started attending
Muhammad Yusuf’s lectures to listen to his
preaching.
“I didn’t observe anything strange about the
teaching. Soon, the children began to be
conscious of themselves. It was then that the
rumour started that they were planning a war.
When I heard of it, I went straight to Muhammad
Yusuf because I had been very close to him.
When I realized that Muhammad Yusuf was
frequently being arrested, detained and released, I
went to Baba Fugu and asked him why his son-
in-law was always being detained? But I learnt he
was always preaching things government didn’t
like and insulting them ,” she said.
The lawyer explained that after about a year or
two, the rumours started again that they were
planning to fight, saying: “Those boys in my
house suddenly disappeared for about a month; I
did not set my eyes on them. I was tensed up and
started asking people where they were, but
nobody could tell me. Eventually when they
returned, one of them told me he had something
to tell me. He said, ‘Mama we went for training.
Mama, I swear, our guns have already arrived in
Maiduguri and that included AK47s. I then asked
him where they trained and he respectfully replied,
“Mama, I will not tell you this one.”
Wakkil had called Yusuf, who confirmed that they
were planning to start a war and there was
nothing that could be done to stop them, adding
that the war would engulf everybody.
That was how the insurgents began causing
havoc. The boys in her house left and in a short
while became commanders in the Boko Haram
group.
She stated that she had visited the insurgents
several times at different locations in the bush
and she used to take food and drugs to them,
which were their major requirements.
Asked if she had ever told the insurgents to
accept an amnesty, she replied: “Yes, I have been
doing that right from day one. In the beginning,
they were telling me that, ‘Mama, we don’t like
this thing that is happening to us. We are sure
something is wrong somewhere. If government
can call us and ask us, we shall tell them
everything. Let government dialogue with us and
tell us how to stop all these things and we will
stop.
“But as time went on, they started talking
negative of government. They were saying
government was no more doing this and that.
One of them told me, ‘Mama, the ocean we are
swimming in is very deep. This thing has
graduated from the Jama’atul Ahlil Sunnah into
something else. The big men in Nigeria know
what I am saying. Such people will not allow
peace to emerge because they have their
interests .’”
On whether the insurgents would accept an
amnesty, she said: “Let me ask you this question;
are they not human beings? If they are human
beings like you and I, why won’t they accept the
offer of amnesty? This administration is willing to
dialogue with them. I am sure the president
would like to ask them what happened and I am
sure the children will be willing to say it. I was
with them recently and they were asking me if the
society will be willing to forgive them. I said why
not if they will drop their arms and become good
boys. If Nigeria and Nigerians can accommodate
the OPC in the West, MASSOB in the East and the
Niger Delta militants, why won’t they
accommodate them ?”
When asked if Shekau was really dead, she
replied: “ I am sorry, I won’t answer that question.
I do not want to discuss that issue .”
Differentiating between the leadership of Yusuf
and Shekau, she said Yusuf was cool-headed,
adding: “But you should also know that they are
not responsible for all the killings. Some of the
killings are politically motivated while others may
be for economic reasons. When finally there is
peace and the boys come into the open, Nigerians
will hear from them. They will tell the world who
and who were sending them to do what.”

I so agree with u, if govt offer those guys amnesty, then I think they should go to the prison I grant all prisoners amnesty. Some people are there cos of small offences, compared to these folks

Rubbish! comparing boko haram with Niger Delta Militants, or OPC is absolute rubbish.do OPC wreck havoc on communities killing many innocent people? what is their agitation! she better tell us d truth nw, cos I know she is one of them.

she is talking about the boko haram of the early 2000 that is different from the bokoharam of now, present boko haram is beyond even they that created it most of the fighters are even foreigners and ready to kill any human they see even in a mosque. so she knows nothing and should stop seeking attention

D only way amnesty will b served 2 dem is only wen they are all dead......If Buhari will dialogue with terrorists den dat makes him 1....4give dem 2day n 2mr dem go do worst den become proud of it

Well grant them amnesty for them to do what? Go to school or learn trade or what? Let her tell us their agitation...

Did you hear her ?, ''they Boko boys wanted to stop the killing but the big men in Nigeria does not want them to stop the killing because of their political interest'
Who are the big men, what is their interest ?, of course it couldn't be more than ruling the country, at this point you knw who is implicated here.
