The Death of Shekau, Major Fambiya Explained
New leads are emerging on the involvement of Senator Ali Ndume representing
Borno South Senatorial District at the Nigerian Senate with the Islamic
terror sect, Boko Haram.
Investigations have also revealed the role allegedly played by Senator Ndume
in the death of Major Timothy Fambiya, who led the operation that led to the
death of the leader of the Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau.
Ndume is standing trial at an Abuja High Court over links with terrorists. He is
accused of providing phone numbers of some government officials to the
members of the Islamic sect.
The Nigerian Airforce in Borno State recently bombed Senator Ndume’s
convoy of vehicles on his way to his village on suspicion that he was
attending a meeting with the insurgents.
Pointblanknews.com gathered that the senator was angered by the
deployment of Major Timothy Fambiya, an indigene of Gwoza in Gwoza Local
Government Council of Borno State to eradicate the sect members and halt
their activities in the area. The area falls within Senator Ndume’s Senatorial
District and is predominantly Christian.
Ndume, a Muslim, could not come to terms with a Christian soldier routing a
sect he sympathizes with. He believes a Christian soldier sent to lead the
Government forces against the sect is war against Muslims.
Although there are many accounts of the circumstances surrounding Shekau’s
death, he is believed to have been killed in Gwoza Hills by a contingent of
Special Forces led by Major A.T. Fambiya. Fambiya is reckoned to be one of
the best Special Forces officers in the Nigerian military, who grew up in Gwoza
and understood the rocky terrain.
Further investigations revealed that it was Major Fambiya that delivered the
fatal shot that sent Shakau reeling in Gwoza Hills during a fierce battle but the
Boko Haram leader did not die immediately. He was severally moved to Mali
and later Cameroon where he gave up the ghost. His aides, who sought to
create the impression that he was still alive to sect members, hurriedly buried
him.
Following Shekau’s death, an infuriated Senator Ndume had
allegedly contracted the second in command to Major Fambiya, Captain
Ibrahim Jamare, to eliminate him. Captain Jamare, who had briefed the
Senator on the circumstances surrounding Shakau’s shooting , was allegedly
paid N60 million by the Senator to eliminate the major.
While on a return mission to Gwoza Hills still in search of Shekau, Captain
Jamare had shot Major Fambiya at the back of the head while he was
observing something with binoculars.
The military had in a brief ceremony at the Nigerian Military Cemetary in Abuja
declared that Major Fambiya was one of the best special forces officer in
Nigeria. “He was killed in action on June 26, 2013 in a fierce encounter with
Boko Haram terrorists”.
The Major’s suspicious killing had prompted his brother Iliya Joshua to call on
military authorities to investigate the circumstances surrounding his death.
“We call on the Federal Government to investigate the rumoured cause of the
death of the officers since it remains a mystery to our family. I made the call
because he was supposed to be at the Army school of artillery. The last time I
called him, he said that he was not part of those people that were going to
Maiduguri for this operation. But later, I was told that he had been killed. He
was not supposed to be on posting to that place,”he said.
Over 400 hundred people including women and children were killed last month
in Ngoshe and Atagara by insurgents, who hoisted a flag at the Gwoza Local
Government Area. The insurgents disguised as soldiers had called the
residents to come out to discuss peaceful co-existence in the area. Unkonwn
to the residents, they were sorroundedv by the insurgents, who opened fire on
them killing all that gathered at the village square, who were mostly
Christians.
The burning of residential houses, churches and schools have continued until
a recent deployment of soldiers in the area.
Purchase of 400 Golf Cars
Security agencies are also working on the lead that Senator Ndume had
purchased 400 Golf cars for insurgents disguised as empowerment for his
constituents. Golf cars have been used in several bomb explosions in
Maiduguri, Yobe, Bauchi, Gombe and Abuja.
Further investigations revealed that insurgents and new recruits were offered a
golf car or N500,000.00 to procure the vehicles themselves by the senator.
The recruitment drive is disguised as one of his constituency empowerment
projects.
Most of the insurgents are said to have migrated to Abuja and are now
domiciled in Waru and Wasa villages, some kilometres from the National
Assembly Quarters where they wait to be called upon to carry out car/suicide
bombings.
National Cordinator of the Joint Information Centre on Security, Mike Omeri,
had at Wednesday’s briefing of the media on government’s fight against
terrorism said government was investigating some politicians following their
links with terrorists. He said some of the politicians have been arrested.
He said the development followed information provided by insurgents in
custody. He maintained that government would not condone involvement of
politicians in security matters involving the nation.
