It appears Australian hostage negotiator Dennis Stephen isn't done making outrageous and some would say 'eye-opening' claims. Just a day after he claimed that former Borno state Gov, Alimodu Sheriff and an unnamed retired army chief are sponsors of Boko Haram, he's now claiming that the insurgent group if funded through the CBN. In an interview with TheCable, Stephen claimed a senior official of the CBN handles the financial transactions of the sect group. Read what he said ...
"One of the biggest of suppliers of arms and military uniforms to the JAS (Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, better known as Boko Haram) currently lives in Cairo, Egypt. He is the recipient of money sent by political sponsors from Nigeria. The funds go through the CBN’s financial system and appear to be a legal transaction. Meanwhile, the CBN official who handles the funding is an uncle to three of those arrested in connection with the Nyanya bombings. The three boys lived with him. They were arrested by the SSS (Department of State Security) after the bombings but they do not seem to have been interrogated about their uncle in CBN. Or if they have given up information about their uncle then the SSS has not moved against him."
He further said.......
"Also, a senior official of CBN, who recently left the bank, was very close to Sodiq Aminu Ogwuche, the mastermind of the Nyanya bombings who also schooled in Sudan. Boko haram commanders said Ogwuche’s wife used to visit this top official in his office at the headquarters of the bank in Abuja before the Nyanya bombings. They were very close,” Davis said. He said he is speaking out now because he feels the Federal government is doing little in the rescue of the missing Chibok girls "I have three daughters. I just cannot stand the thought of what those girls are passing through. I have spoken to an escapee who described how she was being molested for 40 days by militants. I can’t stand it. It is heart-breaking. Nigerian authorities must act decisively now,”

Our government is playing politics with the whole issue. There will only be 2015 if the country is in peace. GEJ should be firm and deal with any one implicated decisively and see if all Nigerians will not applaud him. God bless Nigeria.

Nigeria is in their pocket. The south (east, west and the south-south) must cooperate or die. These guys from the north have perfected their game plane long ago. Some puns in APC thinks the north are co-party-travelers but cannot comprehend that they are being used and that the carpet is being pulled under the feet until they find themselves crashing down. They are everywhere, in the police, army, judiciary, banking sector, name it. Why was Sanusi bent on creating Jaize Bank? Have we forgotten that he studied in Sudan? As far as the north are concerned, Nigeria is the Northern and the Northern is Nigeria. The Arab culture is one rooted and entrenched in domination. There is no peace with them except you accept subjugation. It happened to sub-Saharan Africa during slavery and of course, Morocco, Libya, Tunisia, Egypt etc were black enclave in the mediaeval era. Who are the Janjaweed militia of Sudan? Don't forget that the Darfur people of Sudan are black moslems but being moslem did not save them from the oppressive fair skinned Janjaweed moslem arabs. Nigerians should think. Boko Haram is being used by arabs who will enslave even the black moslems when they take control. Is this a joke? Check our Mauritania and find out about the Berber and Tuaregs. What's their faith today even though they were lighter skinned than sub-Saharan Africans. Religion could be blinding but in the end, ethnic consciousness is the ultimate goal.

Bros thanks a lot for this,I reached the same conclusion sometime ago.I strongly believe the Governor of Kano State and Sanusi conspired to kill the Emir Ado Bayero to pave way for Sanusi to become the Emir......I also believe this was to forestall his prosecution which was imminent.One other thing,when Sanusi started this Islamic Banking thing....I suspected somehow that it was a conduit to channel fund to the Boko Haram,now that suspicion has been confirmed.Sanusi might have succeeded in killing a good man(Emir Ado Bayero) and taking over his throne.Sanusi might have succeeded in forestalling his prosecution.....but that is temporary.The law of Distributive Judgement will soon catch up with him and his cohorts.

When I started feeling sorry for black Moslems. Is how the Moslem community world wide protest in different countries the killing of innocent people in Palestine. The don't regards killing of even Moslems in Africa or even the abducted girls some are definitely Moslem but no protest They are not even disturb. All I can say is well done Israel. Hope Israel can come to nigeria. That's the end of boko

President Goodluck Jonathan is a good man though,but he,President Goodluck Jonathan is so naive.With the situation of things in Nigeria at that time he should not have gone visiting the late Emir(Ado Bayero) openly then,the President and the late Emir could have done their meeting covertly.Emir Ado Bayero on his own had too much confidence on himself,it never occurred to him that his people could kill him for getting too close to a President they want to unseat.In my own humble opinion,I believe they the Kano State Governor,Sanusi and the rest of them passed the judgement of death on the late Emir the day the President visited him.I just hope the President will not be naive enough to let them kill him,though if they do......Nigeria will surely implode.But from their antecedents,a man(Sanusi) that agreed for his uncle and father in-law(late Emir Ado Bayero) to be killed will not bat an eye killing a man from the creeks of Bayelsa.
