negotiator for the Boko Haram group recently invited by

Haram members
A report by Vanguard states that Barrister Aisha Wakil, the
Nigerian lawyer and negotiator for the Boko Haram group
recently invited by the Nigerian Army for questioning is of the Igbo stock.

Wakil was reportedly born into an Igbo Christian family,
but converted to Islam during her time at the University of Maiduguri where she studied law.
The report stated that Wakil’s closest revelation about her
linkage to being Igbo was when she was quoted to have
disclosed in an interview with a national newspaper her
peace-making efforts.
According to her, she started the dialogue process since
2009, even before the major crisis erupted because I knew
their slain spiritual leader, Muhammad Yusuf.

Her words: “His father-in-law, late Alhaji Baba Fugu
Mohammed, was my spiritual father in Islam, and I used to visit his home.
“In fact, Mohammed Yusuf almost married my younger
sister Amina, but Almighty Allah did not make it possible.
So that was how I got closer to the duo.
“It went even to the extent that I was cooking food and
taking it to the house of late Alhaji Fugu, to the pupils of the
Qur’anic school, (almajari).
“And because I am from the southern part of the country, I
normally prepared southern dishes, which Yusuf had always
come to eat. In fact, he liked my egusi soup very much, and
we became very close when his father-in-law told him that I
was the one who cooked the food.
“So anytime we met, he expressed delight and prayed that
Almighty Allah would reward me, for he was eating from my
pot and that was how I established a strong relationship
with him.”
Wakil who is always totally veiled is married to another
lawyer, Wakil Gana who is presently a judge with the
Borno state High Court.

The couple were named by the Boko Haram sect to
negotiate on their behalf during the administration of Dr
Goodluck Jonathan. Aisha’s name also featured
prominently on the list of government negotiators at the
time.
Those in the know say, she had almost always carried out
her conduct and liaisons with Boko Haram with the
knowledge of the authorities. In fact, she is said to be a
staff of the National Human Rights Commission.
She is famed for calling the Boko Haram insurgents at one
point as her children.

She was quoted as saying: said: “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.”
During the height of the insurgency, Aisha was able to
mobilise some Borno women to come out to protest
against the attacks by the Islamist group.
At that time she was quoted to have referred to the Boko
Haram insurgents as her children.
“My sons, I have been begging you since in silence to come
out and state your grievances and stop destroying your
homeland. Please come out and state your grievances and
stop these killings. ”

Recall that Mrs Wakil turned herself in to the Defence
Headquarters after being declared wanted by the
Nigerian army. Several media sources assumed the
woman was in trouble for aiding the terrorist group.
However, army sources claim the woman along with
two other wanted (Ahmad Salkida, a journalist known for
his access to the Boko Haram leadership, and Ahmed
Bolori, Maiduguri-based negotiator) were invited to
discuss new strategies in war against Boko Haram.
Mrs Wakil was reportedly treated with respect by the
Nigerian security operatives while she was in their facility.

[size=15pt] Bloody Liars!
Cleverly showing the lady's bleached hands to convey the stereotype that she is light complexioned and therefore is truly Igbo. As if Fulani women aren't even more light complexioned.

Anyhow, how does this concern anyone struggling in this harsh economy? [/size]

where did you copy this bulshit ?

Anything goes, someone that was harmless as a Christian
