Ex-Army General Reveals How ‘Boko Haram Leader’ And Terror Funding Suspects Were Freed.
A retired Nigerian Army Major General, Danjuma Hamisu Ali-Keffi, has urged a thorough investigation into the release of 48 terrorism financing suspects, including a man identified by foreign intelligence agencies as a top Boko Haram leader, who were previously held by the military.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Ali-Keffi, who in October 2020 was appointed by former President Muhammadu Buhari to lead the covert Operation Service Wide (OSW), described the circumstances surrounding their release as a major national security concern. OSW, which included personnel from the military, intelligence agencies, and legal officers from the Attorney-General’s office, was tasked with investigating terrorism financiers and collaborators.
In an interview with SaharaReporters, Ali-Keffi revealed that the task force collaborated with 33 countries, including the US, UK, and the EU, through the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU). He alleged that the National Assembly failed to investigate the matter due to compromises involving a former Army chief.
According to Ali-Keffi, OSW had arrested 48 individuals tied to terrorism financing, including a principal Boko Haram leader as identified by Western and Middle Eastern intelligence agencies. He claimed that substantial counterterrorism funds were diverted to prominent military and government officials, including some National Assembly members, and suggested that putting the suspects on trial would have exposed this misappropriation.
Ali-Keffi further alleged that some of the suspects operated Bureau De Change firms as fronts to launder funds both for officials and Boko Haram operations. He specifically questioned the release of Hima Abubakar, whose $600 million offshore account was traced by the NFIU.
“Who ordered the release of these 48 terror financing suspects? Why were they freed without trial? And why did the government request the US to unfreeze Abubakar’s $600 million account despite prior indictments by the Committee on Defence and Arms Procurement (CADEP)?” he asked.
He also condemned the release of Alhaji Saidu Ahmed, aka Saidu Gold, identified as a top Boko Haram leader, despite intelligence linking him to recruits later jailed in Dubai for terrorism.
Ali-Keffi recalled that the late Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru, had started a forensic audit into counterterrorism funds and unfinished procurement projects but died days before acting on the findings, which he claimed were suppressed.
He called for a full-scale investigation into terrorism financing and the handling of counterterrorism funds, warning that a public release of OSW’s findings would implicate many military and government officials, including lawmakers.
