The names of the alleged camp directors - Yakubu I. Kano, Ibrahim Maigari Ahmadu, and Gambo Othman (aka Dawoud) -- were included in a text message sent to U.S. embassy staff by cell phone by Mahmood Halilu Chiroma, a reputed brother-in-law of Gen. Buhari.

The text message revealed how extremism was being nurtured by the group in Kaduna, and said the trio hid their operations under the guise of a women’s charity group called “Al ihsan summer Madarasa,” which targeted children of the elite who studied outside Kaduna.

When such students returned to their privileged GRA homes in Kaduna on holidays, “they organize them and hypnotize the brilliant ones by teaching them Islamic extremism,” the writer of the cable said.
The fundamentalist group even targeted the daughter of General Buhari for indoctrination into their views. The cable writer noted: “They attempted Gen. Buharis daughter but we kept it secret and we organized and tackle then, but they are after her to date," the message said.

The senator said there was absolutely no need for them to be killing other nationals who are dark in complexion in a manner that portrayed them as blood thirsty racists since they claimed that they were fighting for freedom from oppression.

He said, “It is disturbing that innocent black migrant workers including Nigerians and Ghanaians, who have nothing to do with Gaddafi, are being targeted and killed by Libyan rebels.”

[b]Nigerian evacuates citizens

Feb 26 2011[/b]The Federal Government has lived up to her promise by evacuating 499 of her citizens from the troubled land of Libya to Nigeria. The news was disclosed to Nigerians by the spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Yushau Shuaib. This is an agency charged with the responsibility of rescue and security of Nigerian citizens in time of trouble and calamity. Bloomberg News Agency reported the phone conversation with the spokesman Yushau Shuaib whom was quoted, "NEMA is coordinating other agencies to bring back about 2,000 Nigerians.”

Nigerian “President Goodluck Jonathan gave the directive for the evacuation on Wednesday, as the crisis in Libya worsened after days of protests. There is no official figure of Nigerians living in Libya, but the number is believed to be substantial because many Nigerians use the country as a gateway to Europe.

Among Nigerians stranded in Libya is popular boxer Bash Ali, a former International Cruiser weight champion, who went to Tripoli to seek the assistance of Libyan leader Mouammar Khadafi for his impending fight,” according to Africa Online.

A charted Jumbo jet carrying 499 citizens of Nigeria landed at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja at 1.30 am Sunday morning. The Federal Government is also making arrangements to bring the remaining Nigerians in Libya. The problems of clearance from Tripoli and instability of the Libyan government as she experienced uprising from her citizens has become a major problem for a quick evacuation of Nigerians.

499 Nigerians evacuated from Libya

By Habib Aruna Group News Editor, Lagos


Up to 499 Nigerians stranded in Tripoli were evacuated to Abuja at 1.30 a.m. on Sunday to escape the deadly battle by Libyans seeking to get rid of Moammar Gadhafi, whose iron grip on that nation dates back four decades.

National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) Director General, Muhammad Sani-Sidi, led the rescue team comprising government agencies.

The exercise will continue until all the estimated 2,000 Nigerians in Libya are safely brought back home, Sani-Sidi pledged in a statement quoting him, issued by NEMA Spokesman Yushau Shuaib.

A second flight left for Libya at 11 a.m. on Sunday.

Abuja has established a special camp to accommodate the returnees who will be discharged after documentation and screening.

Timloh Nkom, the representative of Foreign Affairs Minister, Odein Ajumogobia, explained that the initial problems in the operation were due to the late diplomatic clearance for the airline.

Among the evacuees are women, children, and the elderly, as well as convicts handed over to the Nigerian embassy in Tripoli.

President Goodluck Jonathan ordered the evacuation to demonstrate the government’s commitment to ensure the safety and security of Nigerian citizens at home and abroad.

*Abandons 7,000 stranded Nigerians

By VICTOR AHIUMA-YOUNG

NIGERIAN Ambassador to Libya, Ambassador Isah Mohammed Aliyu, has reportedly fled the country to Malta with his family, abandoned more than 7,000 stranded Nigerians at the Tripoli airport.

This came as the embittered Nigerians accuse the government of abandoning them and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of completely showing no interest in what was happening in Libya.

They said that in a bid to prevent the world from knowing actual situation of things in the country, the Libya security agencies did not permit entry with memory cards, camera and laptops into the airport, adding that the Nigerian government should emulate other countries that value their citizens, and initiate a massive evacuation of Nigerians in Libya now.

Rights activists
Meanwhile, rights activists, under the umbrella of the Campaign for the Rights of Nigerians in Diaspora, CRND, have raised alarm that over 7,000 Nigerians were still trapped in Tripoli Airport in Libya, while many more were yet to find their way to  either the airport or other exit ports.

The group faulted the Federal Government and its Ministry of Foreign Affairs for its attitude towards Nigerians in Diaspora, especially when other countries were working day and night to evacuate their citizens from Libya.

CRND said Nigerians or relatives of Nigerians still stranded in the North African country, should reach  one Mr. Solomon Okoduwa in Libya on +218923369805 or +218917266997 for assistance.

In a statement by CRND’s Secretary, Mr. Frank Malcom, the group claimed the stranded Nigerians planned to protest yesterday to draw the attention of government to their plight.

A Nigerian woman with two kids at the Tripoli airport was quoted in the statement as crying for help from Nigerians, human rights groups to appeal to the Nigerian government to evacuate them from Libya.
She said: “I have two kids with me here, and I have been in this airport for three weeks, no food to eat, we sleep on the floor everyday waiting for plane to come and evacuate us. Please beg Nigerian government to come  with bigger planes to evacuate us.”

Another Nigerian, Mr. Solomon Okoduwa, who is the senior elder of Nigeria community in Libya, said “so far the Tripoli airport as at the time of call has recorded seven thousand Nigerians awaiting evacuation, aside those trapped in Benghazi and other states outside Tripoli. Most of them have been at the airport for several weeks; watching other countries coming with cargo planes and ships to evacuate their citizens almost every two hours, while Nigerians starve at the airport as there are no provision for food, water or place to sleep, even pregnant and nursing mothers are not excluded from the pains and suffering”.

BEAUBIEN: Thirty-seven-year-old Godspower Wilfred is from Nigeria. He says he and the others have been hiding during the recent fighting and they just now come out into the streets to look for food. Wilfred says he's terrified the rebels are going to execute him.

Mr. WILFRED: I beg, I'm innocent. I don't know anything. I beg.

[b]Come and see. These are blacks, Africans, hired by Gaddafi, mercenaries," shouted Ahmed Bin Sabri,

lifting the tent flap to show the body of one dead patient, his grey T-shirt stained dark red with blood, the saline pipe running into his arm black with flies.

Why had an injured man receiving treatment been executed? Mr Sabri, more a camp follower than a fighter, shrugged.
It was seemingly incomprehensible to him that anything wrong had been done.[/b]

Vengeance in Tripoli:

Rebels settle scores in Libyan capital

UN urges restraint as the rebels wreak their revenge on 'loyalists'
By Kim Sengupta in Tripoli

The Libyan rebels have been meting out brutal treatment to sub-Saharan Africans in Tripoli, suspecting that they are Gaddafi loyalists

Some of those arrested in October 2007 were even plotting to carry out attacks in the United States and to attack American targets here,

Their rapid release from detention was apparently aimed at placating Muslim groups, but it has now come back to haunt security officials who fear a growing wave of al-Qaida-linked terror attacks in Nigeria
