Confessions Of A Repented Terrorist
While terrorism and wanton acts of destruction go on unabated in
Nigeria, another can of worms has been opened regarding the identities
of the real sponsors of the deadly Boko Haram group.
Sheikh Haliru, a founding member of the dreaded jama’aful Ahlul sunna
wal Liddawati wal Jihad also referred to as the Boko Haram sect who has
since found a new faith made startling revelations recently when he
named some well placed Nigerians as the financial backbone of the sect.
Sani Haliru who was born to a Nigerien father and a Nigerian mother
grew up in Wulari, in Borno State where his mother hails from. Like most
boys, he became an Almajiri at the age of ten and was trained for four
years. At 14, he was sent to Kano where he studied at Sheikh Abubakar
Gumi School of Arabic Studies. Apart from being studying at the feet of
the popular Sheikh Gumi, Haliru prided himself as a mentee of the late
Al Quaeda leader, Osama bin Laden.
Incidentally, as revealed by Haliru, his new faith is in Jesus Christ
who he hated and persecuted for 44 years. Before he became a born-again
Christian, Haliru saw fire and blood as a jihadist. Narrating his past
experience, he said “I took part in the Kaduna riot of 1992 and in
several northern states of Nigeria, but the state I operated more from
was Borno, where I was the State Commander/Chief Strategist.
Below are the FULL LIST of BOKO HARAM SPONSORS as per Sani Haliru’s
relationship and engagement with them during his time as a Boko Haram
Member.
1.
General Ibrahim Babangida (IBB):
The former jihadist claimed to have been to eight different countries
namely Sudan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Egypt and
Niger Republic. And when he was asked if he received any training in
those places, he disclosed that he was trained as an Attack Strategist
in Libya and Pakistan alongside Nigerians and non-Nigerians alike. One
of the proofs of the training as he disclosed was a mark which he
carries with him till date. The mark is in form of a sword held in a
hand. That is regarded by those who went through the training as the
“license to kill for Allah”.
But who financed the training in Libya, Haliru was asked. From his
response, it was obvious that the person was obviously a highly placed
Nigerian as he said “you will not believe me and only God will judge the
Chief sponsor of terrorism in Nigeria whose name I will not mention
because he is so powerful and even the president of Nigeria, Goodluck
Jonathan, is so much afraid of the man”.
In the early months of May 1986, I was among the 36 Jihadist
hardliners, who went on a rampage to attack Christian students of the
University of Sokoto. In that same week, the Federal Government of
Nigeria under the leadership of General Babangida mobilized us and
provided some military vans and Army uniforms which our men used and
started killing innocent and defenceless Christians all over the
Northern states. I and the son of the Emir of Kano, who is now a
Christian by name Rev. Paul Ado Bayero, were among the Muslim fanatics
who pulled down the sculpture of Jesus at the University of Ibadan.
The following year, March 5, 1987 to be very precise, the “Evil
Genius” General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida secretly armed us through one
of his close aides by the name of Captain Hassan Abubakar (now a Pastor
with a fast growing church in Lagos). We went to go and kill some
targeted Christians including Rev. Nuhu Kure (Throne room founder) after
the destruction we committed at the College of Education in Kafanchan,
Kaduna State And of recent, I was the leader of the team of soldiers of
Allah that destroyed Church buildings and properties in Bornu State”
And to prove that he harbours no fear about unveiling his sponsor,
the erstwhile extremist dropped the bombshell. He said “the man is no
other person than the man they call IBB. As I am talking to you now,
General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida has more than 600 men and women
Jihadists on his payroll. They are scattered all over the Country and he
can use them to destroy Nigeria”. He disclosed that the former military
President still has his agents in the Nigeria Army, the Police, the Air
Force and in strategic economic positions.
He alleged that Babangida’s loyalists can still be found in top
political positions, in the National Assembly, in both the print and
electronic arms of the media and even in Aso Rock, Nigeria’s seat of
power.”
While describing General Babangida’s influence, the repented Boko
Haram pointman revealed that he attempted to divulge some of the
information at his disposal to the State Security Service, he however
said it was the unimaginable that happened. “I was arrested and detained
for two days because IBB’S men are so many in SSS as well. After I was
released by the grace of God, they (the Police) warned me never to blow
up the polity or provoke violence and I should keep my
so-called-born-again with me or else I will go to jail”, Haliru said.”
2.
President Mohammadu Buhari and Alhaji Abubakar Atiku
He also gave indications that IBB might not be alone in financing
terror in the country as he alleged that he has the names of six
traditional rulers and seven present and former Governors as well as
several top military and security officers who are co-sponsoring the
Boko Haram sect. Speaking further, he said “I have documented evidences
to prove that General Mohammadu Buhari, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku and other
top politicians and traditional rulers are some of the people behind
Boko Haram”.
When Haliru was asked if it meant that General Babangida, the Muslim
traditional rulers and Governors that he accused of sponsoring Boko
Haram to kill Christians and burn churches in the North are not aware of
the passage in the Qur’an that says there must not be compulsion in
Islam as Mohammadu Buhari asserted in a widely publicized interview on
Saturday, the 21st of April, 2011, Haliru’s reply went on to reveal
more. “: I have worked so closely with Mohammadu Buhari for five years,
and I can prove it that General Buhari is the most notable outspoken
jihadist hardliner in Nigeria who is also strategically sponsoring Boko
Haram”, he said. He said with Buhari;s statement, it was evident that
the former Head of State was being hypocritical. He based his submission
on Surah Al-Baqarah Chapter 2:195, it is written here that you must use
your wealth to champion Jihad of all kinds or else destruction is
waiting for such a person on the last day.
“And spend in the Cause of Allah (i.e. Jihad of all kinds) and do not
throw yourselves into destruction (by not spending your wealth in the
Cause of Allah), and do good. Truly, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (the
good-doers).”
3.
Ex Nigerian State Governors
Haliru also indicted Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State as an ally
of the Boko Haram sect. Narrating his experience when he was arrested
and detained years ago, Haliru said “ soon after my immediate boss
Mohammed Yusuf was killed in 2009, about 23 of us were arrested in one
of our hideouts in Bauchi. But when Governor Isa Yagiuda heard about it,
he immediately arranged for me to be free. Even before his official
broadcast in 2010 that he was using his position as the executive
Governor of Bauchi State to free 28 prisoners from Bauchi Central
Prison, I was already a free man along with several of my colleagues”.
4. Other Prominents Nigerian on the List
When Sani Haliru was asked about the identities of the fellow
Nigerians who were his course mates in Libya and Pakistan, he said “they
are scattered all over the country and we were not too many then”. He
however gave a few names, those he mentioned included Ali Baba Nur,
Asari Dokubo, Jasper Akinbo, Mohammed Yusuf, Salisu Maigari, Danlami
Abubakar, Cletus Okar, Ali Qaqa, Maigari Haliru and Asabe Dantala. He
spoke further that Asari Dokubo of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer
Force was a year ahead of him in the Libyan training camp in Benghazi.
Extracted from the context are the list of those who are allegedly
accused by the Ex-Jihadist to have been involved in sponsoring the Boko
Haram sect secretly in Nigeria. Follow next page to see them in list.
In conclusion, HotNewsNg extract all the names mentioned above by the Ex
Jihadist, hence make a list of the boko haram sponsors in Nigeria.
1. President Mohammadu Buhari
2. Alhaji Abubakar Atiku
3. General Ibrahim Babangida
4. Rev. Paul Ado Bayero
5. Captain Hassan Abubakar
6. Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State
These lists are not proven (how on earth do you want to do that if
they are still in power) but since this broadcast had been around, there
is no objection from those mentioned above and even in an interview
with Asari Dokubo, he confirmed to have received training in Libya which
makes this story to be a bit real.
What do you think about this?
