FG to release list of Boko Haram sponsors

 Nigeria’s security chiefs have compiled a list of Boko Haram sponsors in a bid to expose the sect’s backers and end the group’s violent campaign especially in the Northern part of the Country.

The list is said to contain names of suspected backers of the sect and other terror groups.

A security source said that the list was compiled by top security chiefs at a meeting held to strategise on how to end the growing violence.

The official said the decision to compile the list was born out of the belief of the security chiefs that the anti-terrorism battle could be won sooner than expected if people linked with violence were exposed.

The security chiefs were said to have worked on the intelligence report that some top politicians had been giving financial backing to terror groups with the aim of destabilising the present administration.

The official said the security officials had resolved to formally inform the office of the National Security Adviser about the alleged involvement of such politicians supporting terror groups.

Apparently supporting the claims of the NSA, Gen. Owoye Azazi, that some undemocratic practices within the ruling Peoples Democratic Party in the build-up to the 2011 general elections fuelled the violence, they heaped the blame on those they called greedy politicians.

They went further to identify the alleged politicians to include those who held the opinion that only persons from their region could contest the presidential election after the demise of President Umaru Yar’Adua.

“The meeting heaped the blame on greedy and selfish politicians who don’t want Nigerians from outside their region to rule the country,” the source said.

He described the meeting as fruitful, adding that Nigerians would soon be seeing results.

  1. Being determined at last to expose the sponsors of the Boko Haram publicly is not entirely indicative of having resolved to tackle the numerous problems being posed by the sect. However, it is a wise, decisive and preliminary step in checking the group and restoring peace in the nation. Who is above the law ? If you point out anyone, I would add that no one is superior to or above God.

  2. Sir !with regards i commend every effort of yours put together to fight till date,i pray God should continue to guide U mentally,physically nd spiritually to make it a thing of D pass.But sir if i will stil sugest you should’nt have reveal to the prees that you av the list containing names of those men sposouring the Boko haram.if you’ve gotten the information with geniue prove that those men are responsible,why dont you arrest them to face the law because, in this two ways they may manover to prove innocent (1)they might plan to get the list from you nd asassinate you (2)They might loby to their arrest or even lay armbush with their gunmen the day you will effect your arrest.God be with you and your team

  3. Of what Importance is the list when they are still free to perpectuate the same evil. I think they should be showing us the list of those sponsors in their custody. Are they above the law?

  4. Exposing the sponsors is to aggravate the problem. Why not bring them to justice? We have a coward govt that is after the poor and nobodies. If they were southerners they would have been killed since. Failed leaders with useless political and religious ambition.

  5. You guys are lying;please fuck off and stop playing with our emotions with fake hopes in the name of sensationalism journalism!publish it when its ready and get the fuck off my face with this kind of story that never gets a follow up.

  6. If no list ever gets published may boko haram bomb the family of whoever posted this lie online to attract comments;you think its a joke don’t you?people are being roasted and millions are living in sorrow and constant fear of death and you think its time to play stupid games.why didn’t you wait to see the list then publish it instead of this bullshit?pleas just,fuck you!

  7. Nigeria is now a joke. Who begged you to expose them? Nigerian know them before now. The blood of those killed is the head of all our leaders both present and past for their inability to take actions that will save the lives of people. This nation is now unsafe for christians but why must a particular religion be used for such evil purposes?

  8. What’s all this noise about,is the preseidency claiming not to know who these people are.They should keep shut and do what ought to have been done long before now rather than making an announcement that they are coming after these sponsors of terrorism. Its just like announcing your presence to a thief you want to catch in the act,will he wait for you to catch him. This is just to be another grand play acting in the Nigerian political scene and if it were not so,let them put words into action.

  9. Whether they are exposed or not,God already have their names. And whether they punish them or not,God is already set wt what to do wt them. All we know is that “one day,one day” d TRUTH wl prevail.

  10. The decoy and the political dismay will not only be a reality but another failiure in the national security challenges if the names of the so called sponsors of boko haram is mention, we have had of the sanator of the federal Republic been the sponsor of BKH, Sanator Ali Ndume,we have also had of the sponsors of BKH been those who are eating and dinning with Mr president now the FG comprehensive list of the sponsors of BKH will be out at a time when Henry okah is saying one who master minded 1st october 2010 bombing is Mr president. Indeed you can see that Nigerian as a nation is talking from both side of it mouth,from all ranks and files anyway i wonder who will be the first in that list. Peace is all we want in our country whosoever is behind all these devilish act may God distroy them and let us regain peace in our country.

  11. What follows the release of the list? how will it affect the lives of common naija people, one thing i know we are living by the grace of God. B.H is a disaster nigerians & nig. govt has fail to combat successfully. Why cant we admit that. Its everybody responsibility cause any one can be a victim. May the soul of departed rest in peace. May all faithful be filled with holy spirit…

  12. Any need to try dem wen you knw dem,y dnt you ppl jt kill all of dem at once and see if dis fools dey call boko haram can operate wen der is no finance.Abeg is even time dis country has to slit sef,jt feel 4 d lost souls.Kill dem all dnt try dem fools.Wen dis ppl go gt sense sef,nw wen d head do fall una go knw.Bullshit.

  13. All of us are kobo harams:Mr president said he knew all oil cabal sect and Boko haram sects are still in his admistration and national adviser to mr president said they have the list of those who are behind issue of Boko haram in Nigeria.Fuck U Liars.

  15. What ever happens,goodluck should know dat we voted 4 him.now his ministers not ours are stealing our money through subsidy or what ever.even little kids are laughing at dis country.lets stop voting 4 pdp and know weither dis country will get better not.

  16. Gej said boko haram is worst than civil war, for me i dont believe b h is political, or poverty. Its purely religious fanaticism and hatred against Christians, this group have been there since 2oo1 , if its political why can they face aso rock and those that control power. Have we forget the state this bk originated? Have we forget how many times Nigerian forces went and attack them , Nigerian why are we playing politics with human life? Have we forget bk demands? Have we forget where terrorist originated and how they operated? Are u not suprise why many people afraid to comment or against them, because its a jehad war. Where they are killing anybody who act or talk against them in the name of religion

  17. nigeria is a very funny country. Is it nw that these security agents want to release the list after thousands of nigerians have been slaughtered. Shud they have waited dis long for these innocent souls to be killed b4 thinking of this. The problem with nigeria is that they know the solutions to their porblems bt they dont just apply them. Am disappointed.

  18. what a bad approach and idea.since you know the sponsors why not bring them to book before publishing their names.We don’t have anything to do with their names.All we Nigerians want is justice and nothing else.let them be arrested and prosecuted.

  19. If FG know the sponsor of boko haram, why the didn’t arrest them since and make them face the law , insected of list name’s and how really is this list? For allowing them to kill innocent people is other thing?.

  20. Why publish their names when you can go pick them up one by one b4 yhey flee the country?I hope they have prove to back this grevious allegation because its their words against whoever they accuse. Something just doesn’t feel right and truthful about this but time will tell

  21. to hail with list. Whoever has list of boko haram sponsors and hesitates to arrest them is also a sponsor. On this note,if the so-called security adviser or chiefs do not act on list,they will have to answer some questions as to their own level of involvement in the act of terrorism against this country. It is quite to late to continue to pay lip service to the service of the nation. Enough is enough!

  22. well if d FG and SSS want to do there job very well let them go to dose cowards face to face and finishe it without wasting time by giving them all a gun shot on there 4 head, so there will b everlasting peace in Nigeria or they should divide the country into 5.then d problem will b over.4 dose fool who are enjoying frm wat they do not have.they should all go back to there farm land and live us alone.plssssss we need to divide d country oooooooo if nt it will heat back again after now frm a different tribe or religion. Fuck list and d gun shot on there 4 head

  26. we don’t need these list, cos it won’t help solve any problem. The FG knows these evil people(BHR) to b sincere they knows themselves. What difference will the list spell? Please stop giving us hope that won’t last. I believe this battle is for God, and one day the wicked shall be cut off and peace will be restored.

  27. sir, saying n doing wit action taken against dem will b a great achievemnt to u n dis country in dis ur time. pls go ahead n publish, dnt b intimidated God will b wit u, amen. evn dos merciles fools destroy many lives n dey suposed not to live too.

  28. BH sect are mentaly incapacitated and there sponsors took advantage of their inability to think.May allah give dem ability to think so dat they wil kno dt killing pple cannot help their fustration.

  29. To the journalist and whoever gave him/her that piece of information, its time you all realized that Nigerians can no longer be fooled.Publish the list rather than talking about it if it truly exists and if you are fighting the evil called Boko Haram. Safe the sensationalism for the birds.
