Boko Haram funded through CBN- Australian Hostage negotiator says


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. What he said
below...
"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." Stephen said Continue...
"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 raped for 40
days by militants. I can’t stand it. It is
heart-breaking. Nigerian authorities must
act decisively now,” he said
