Dapchi Schoolgirl: We Were Flown in Planes and Taken Over Rivers in Boats March 24, 2018012562 50 By Yemi Adebowale with Agency Report More curious details about how the Dapchi schoolgirls were returned to their town by Boko Haram on Wednesday morning have emerged, with one of the girls telling a British newspaper, The Guardian, that they were flown in planes, and taken over rivers in boat by the terrorists. Hafsat Abdullahi phoned the British newspaper on Wednesday afternoon to say her 16-year-old sister Fatima, who had been taken, had been dropped off in Dapchi. She puts her sister on the phone. “It took us three days to get back to Dapchi,” said Fatima. “We were divided into three groups and flown in planes, and taken over rivers in boats.” Waving the black and white flag used by the Islamic State and wearing balaclavas, military fatigues and ammunition belts, members of the group released most of the girls they had abducted in Dapchi, Yobe State, early on Wednesdaymorning. Witnesses said the militants pulled up near Dapchi police station on Wednesday and shouted that parents should pick up their daughters. Initially, villagers ran away fearing another attack. But when they realised what was happening, they began to cheer and wave at the militants, chasing after their pickup trucks, some recording videos on their phones. “Dapchi is full of joy,” said Mohammed Mdada, who saw the girls being whipped as they were driven away a month previously. He said the militants apologised to some of the girls’ parents in their language, Kanuri, and shook their hands before driving off. “They said that if they knew they were Muslim girls they wouldn’t have abducted them,” Mdada said. “They warned the girls that they should stay away from school and swore that if they came back and found any girl in school, they’d abduct them again and never give them back.” Usman Mataba, whose niece was among those returned, said she had talked to the militants. “I approached them and they told me that they had brought all the girls except six – that five had died on the day they were taken,” he said. “They said they discovered they were dead when they arrived at their destination, so they buried them.” Mdada said he had been told the five girls were trampled to death. The sixth had “refused to cooperate” with them, Mataba said. Amnesty International later said four girls were still missing. Locals said Boko Haram also dropped off a boy who had apparently been kidnapped by accident. Soon after arriving back in Dapchi, the army took Fatima and her schoolmates “They took all of them to the hospital, Fatima is in the hospital now,” Hafsat said later, waiting at home to see her sister. “I heard that the chief of staff of the army is here and wants to take the girls with him to Damaturu. I don’t like that – I want her to stay.” Their parents were not allowed in to see them, and the girls were soon put into vehicles and driven away. Their destination was Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, where they were to meet the president, Muhammadu Buhari. In the aftermath of the Dapchi attack, Buhari said his government would negotiate with the militants, but in a statement released on Twitter on Wednesday he claimed there had been “backchannel” negotiations and that no ransoms had been paid. This raises the question of what was offered to secure the girls’ release. The Nigerian government held several Boko Haram commanders who could have been handed over as barter. Other aspects of the abduction and release remain murky. According to anAmnesty International report, the army and police had been warned that Boko Haram would abduct the girls and made no attempt to stop them. They also had been warned that they would be brought back on Wednesday morning, according to Dapchi residents, and positioned themselves at the school they had been taken from, thinking that they would be dropped off there. However, their kidnappers drove them into the centre of the village, close to the police station. Neither the military nor the police attempted to apprehend the militants, who even stopped to change a tyre before leaving Dapchi, according to Mataba. The big questions are: How did Boko Haram secure an aircraft to fly about 110 schoolgirls? Which airport did they land?

FACT-CHECK: APC’s claim on Olisa Metuh’s letter to court incorrect; UK doctor has affiliation with Wellington Hospital March 23, 2018Musikilu Mojeed Reports suggesting that a doctor’s letter submitted to a Federal Hight Court, Abuja, by a former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh, is fake are incorrect, DUBAWA, Nigeria’s fact-checking and verification platform, is reporting. The UK chapter of the All Progressives Congress had written to the Wellington Hospital, London, enquiring about the authenticity of a letter by Dr. Adrian Casey, a consultant neurosurgeon, accepting to treat Mr. Metuh for spinal cord injury. In the letter, Mr. Casey had given his address as “The Wellington Hospital, Wellington Place, St John’s Wood Road, London.” The Wellington Hospital [Photo Credit: panoramio.com] Mr. Metuh had filed the letter as part of the medical report he submitted to the trial court while asking Justice Okon Abang to grant him leave to travel abroad for treatment. The politician is on trial for allegedly diverting N400 million from the office of former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan. But in a response to the UK APC, John Reay, the CEO of Wellington Hospital, simply said, “We cannot comment on individual patients or pass on confidential information to third parties.

He is listed on the hospital’s website as one of its medical personnel, although his base hospital was given as the UK National Hospital for Neurology, where he is on call Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday every week. Responding to an enquiry by this medium, Emma Ley, an official of Wellington Hospital, said Mr. Casey consults at the hospital on Mondays and Fridays. Mr. Ley proceeded to provide the contact details of the doctor’s secretary in case this reporter wanted to book an appointment to meet him in Wellington. So while Dr. Casey may not be a full-time employee of Wellington, he has affiliation with and consults regularly at the facility. We also sent a copy of Mr. Metuh’s letter to Dr. Casey asking if it indeed originated from him. In his response, the doctor did not deny writing the letter, although he indicated his reluctance to comment on his patients to third parties. He advised the Federal High Court to, on its own, investigate Mr. Metuh’s condition if it is in any doubt about the content of the letter and the medical report attached to it. “… It would be a straightforward matter for the Nigerian courts to examine the individual and check any scans via a suitably qualified neurosurgeon or neurologist,” the doctor said. We also contacted Dr. Raymond Onwuelo, a Nigerian UK-based senior medical officer, who referred Mr. Metuh to Dr. Casey, and to which the latter’s letter was addressed. Dr. Onwuelo said as Mr. Metuh’s doctor, it was him who, having reviewed the PDP chieftain’s condition, contacted Dr. Casey to help. He said he simply forwarded the neurosurgeon’s letter to Mr. Metuh so he could add it to the documentation he needed to press for permission to travel. “Dr. Casey reviewed Mr. Metuh’s scans, and he said he needed to come to London immediately,” Dr. Onwuelo said. “My concern about all this controversy about the letter is that his condition might deteriorate and he might suffer a permanent damage to his spine.” CONCLUSION The doctor’s letter submitted by Mr. Metuh to the Federal High Court is authentic and the resultant controversy is more of hair splitting. The claim that Dr. Casey, who signed it, has no affiliation with Wellington Hospital is also false. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/262884-fact-check-apcs-claim-on-olisa-metuhs-letter-to-court-incorrect-uk-doctor-has-affiliation-with-wellington-hospital.html |

An Igbo woman comes to the rescue again, securing the release of Dapchi girls. |
The woman, Aisha Wakil, Boko Haram calls mummy is Igbo Barrister Aisha Wakil who was declared wanted by the Nigerian military authorities last Sunday was until recent largely unknown. Almost always totally veiled, her identity has been as inscrutable as the tale about her origins. Popular folklore is that the woman activist, who was born into an Igbo Christian family converted to Islam during her time at the University of Maiduguri where she studied law. Aisha Wakil Prior to the transformation of the Islamic Boko Haram sect into a fighting force in 2009, Wakil was well known to have close ties with Mohammed Yusuf, the leader of the sect, whose killing led to the radical transformation of the group. Following her education, she settled in Maiduguri and made a home with another lawyer, Wakil Gana who is presently a judge with the Borno State High Court. The news report declaring Aisha wanted undoubtedly came to her and nearly all who knew her with surprise especially against the fact that she had almost always carried out her conduct and liaisons with Boko Haram with the knowledge of the authorities. In fact, she is known to be a staff of the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC and was during the Goodluck Jonathan administration an important liaison that was used to make contacts with the Boko Haram. She has not for once denied a link with the group, having said in separate fora that she knew some of the insurgents right from when they were circumcised. It was perhaps on that account that when the Jonathan administration constituted a committee to negotiate with Boko Haram she featured prominently on the list. Even more, when the Boko Haram group announced a group of prominent northerners to negotiate with the government she and her husband, Justice Wakil were featured among those nominated by the group. Calling the Boko Haram insurgents at one point as her children who moved in and out, 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.” Wakil 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 the government didn’t like and insulting them.” At the peak of the crisis when few dared to come out, Aisha was able to mobilise some Borno women to come out to protest against the situation. 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,” she was quoted to have tearfully said. Just as she is almost never seen without being fully veiled from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet, Aisha’s origin has been almost always veiled from Nigerians. The nearest 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. 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,” she was quoted as saying.
