Ali Sauda Umar Konduga

•Sect kills four policemen •Churches burnt

SECURITY agents have uncovered a new lead linking a detained suspect, Ali Sauda Umar Konduga (a.k.a Usman Al-Zawahiri), to the bombing of the UN House and the Police Headquarters in Abuja.

Konduga has named Senator Ali Ndume as one of the sponsors of the Boko Haram sect. Ndume and Konduga have been arraigned before an Abuja Chief Magistrate’s Court for criminal intimidation. Konduga got a nine-year jail term. Ndume is in the custody of the State Security Services (SSS).

Security reports at the Presidency have foreclosed moves to “politicise” Ndume’s arrest, The Nation learnt.

A source said the screening of Konduga’s call logs has provided fresh clues on the bombing of the UN House and the Police Headquarters.

The August 26 explosion at the UN House killed 23 people; 70 others were injured.

The SSS arrested Babagana Ismail Kwaljima (a.k.a Abu Summaya) and Babagana Mali (a.k.a Bulama) over the UN House attack. It declared a Boko Haram leader, Mamman Nur, wanted .

But the fresh clues indicate that more suspects were involved in the “plot”.

A source, who pleaded not to be named said more suspects are being sought, following the clues.

“At the end of the day, the SSS will determine whether Konduga will still stand trial separately for the two incidents. But we have recorded a breakthrough,” the source said, adding:

“In fact, prior to the bombings, there were telephone calls between Konduga and some highly–placed people. The facts suggest that Konduga has been a key member of the Boko Haram sect, contrary to insinuations in some quarters.”

On Ndume’s fate, the source said: “Instead of reading political meaning into it, those aggrieved should be at the court to go through security reports on him. These will be tendered in court.

“There is no basis for political witch-hunt. We have arraigned him in court; he remains a suspect. The onus is on him to prove beyond reasonable doubt before the court that he had no link with Konduga. We cannot pronounce him guilty.”

The source said: “We cannot join issues with any party but we have security reports on Ndume. We have his statement on oath and the Presidency was in the picture of our findings.

“We won’t stoop so low to release the security reports, but the court is there for all to go and witness the trial, based on our findings and counter-deposition by the Senator.”

Ndume’s family, it was learnt, had wanted to take up issues with the SSS on Friday at a news conference, but the session was called off at the instance of the Senator.

Another source said: “Nigerians should ask Ndume why he asked his family to shelve the Friday briefing. He must have had some information which they do not have.”

The dark mark on Konduga's forehead shows he is very devout. It is strange that one can pray 5 times a day and end up blowing the innocent to bits in coldly calculated plots.
After ethnic bigotry, religion is Nigeria's biggest problem.

The signs look good for the unravelling of boko haram.

No serious professional journalist names his or her source. If you do then u are putting that person's life in danger and you will never get inside knowledge info from that person again.

Can you please tell us the truth about BH. You seem to know more and a bit of enlightenment will do. Also, you shared the news of the death of a police officer. I find it disturbing that you, sir, are more keen to disprove the efforts of the state in combating BH while BOLDLY announcing the casualties against the state.
I keep saying it that GEJ will go one day, but Nigeria will remain. Those who still think blaming the government will solve this issue need to rethink. Think about the family of the police officers dying. Think about their wives being widows and find a way to complement the tardy government efforts. We need to defeat BH together, then come to the table to criticize the government as we always like to do. Maybe if we stop glorifying BH and start encouraging our security officers, then BH will start to cede.

Please tell me that dark mark on his forehead is a tattoo of some sort, and not a scar from bashing his head on the ground every time he prays.

If that is a scar, surely there must be some internal damage resultant from constant trauma to the head. Could that muffuguh be brain damaged ?

The so-called jorunalist want to hide the good part of the report, that's why Boko Haram is killing them
Re: Konduga Linked To UN And Police Headquarters Bombings by zinosleek(m): 4:51pm On Nov 28, 2011
I should believe they have enough evidence to nail Konduga if not they would not be as forthcoming as this, but they hold anyone found to be aiding BH regardless of their standing or position they hold
Re: Konduga Linked To UN And Police Headquarters Bombings by andyanders: 5:09pm On Nov 28, 2011
If the court declares that the suspect Senator Ndume is involved, he should be given life sentence. That is how it goes in the developed world. An act of terrorism carries live sentence. Lets wait and watch.
Re: Konduga Linked To UN And Police Headquarters Bombings by eros(m): 5:21pm On Nov 28, 2011
When will the SSS stop this back and forth game they keep playing with Nigerians? You have a key suspect, find the others and kill them all. Is that too hard to do angry angry angry
Re: Konduga Linked To UN And Police Headquarters Bombings by Nobody: 7:55pm On Nov 28, 2011
All I can say to this is 'Tah!' - I nor believe am one kobo. SSS trying to impress/buy credibility with this? Not everyone is credulous abeg. Naija security agencies are not capable enough and the personals topping these spots are not even condign

It means this guy will be out in 9 years, free to terrorize the country again.

What sort of Justice is this? If petty thieves can be sentenced to death, what moral right does a terrorist have to live?

I thought uncle joe tod the world then that it wasn't MEND that blew innocent nigerians up at eagle square meaning he had before hand warning and knowlegde from them, but he underrated them so they went on rampage and are still on rampage against the state well just thinking out aloud and to the issue of that mark on his forehead I believe he needs to visit a psychatrist his brain has shifted see what would happen when these lawyers start they would say his not emotionally stable just like FRIYO and the BOLA IGE case.

"Konduga got a nine-year jail term" funny indeed!

What is funny about it?
9 years is the max for the sort of conspiracy he was involved in; but that is not to say that when his other cases come to judgement, he won't finally get either life or death sentences. There is due process and it is being followed.

According to the World Health Organization, every year an estimated number of three million girls and women are at
risk for the harmful tradition of Female Core Mutilation/ Cutting (FGM/C). Nearly 140 million girls and women suffer
from its severe and long-lasting health consequences. FGM/C mainly is practiced in sub-Saharan Africa and Egypt,
but also in some Arabian and Asian states as well as in some ethnic groups in Middle- and South America. The practice is
one of the cruelest forms of violence and violates the basic human right of physical and mental integrity.
It therefore is a strong matter in our victim protection to initiate and improve measures concerning the prevention
and prosecution of FGM/C and to supply appropriate support. We know for sure that through migration and
globalization, FGM/C also is a problem in Europe, but yet we do not know a lot about the occurrence, background
and attitudes of African immigrants in Hamburg.

You know some people only show off when it comes to prayer, but forgotten that our belief lies in our heart. and praying 100 times a day does made someone a good moslem or christian. so konduga s case is not exceptional.
