“Boko Haram is Funded Through CBN” – Australian Hostage Negotiator
Australian hostage negotiator, Stephen Davis, is revealing more information he alleges to be true.
Yesterday, BN brought you the news that Davis, who
spent four months negotiating with Boko Haram on behalf of the Nigerian
government to free the over 200 abducted Chibok school girls, stated
that prominent Nigerian politicians are “primary sponsors” of Boko Haram.
In another interview, he tells The Cable that
Boko Haram insurgents informed him that a senior CBN official was
involved in funding their terrorism activities. According to him, the
official currently works in the currency operations division of the
bank, and is the one handling the transactions.
Speaking on why Western countries have
been unable to trace Boko Haram’s source of funding, he says funding is
done through “…a legal channel, through the gatekeeper – the CBN, and
that makes it very easy to cover up.”
Some more excerpts from the interview:
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.
