the law should not take it lightly with the senator.a critical look atthe funding of boko haram will reveal that majority of the big shots in the north are invovlved.if u remove muslims from the scene the world would have peace. i hate them with a passion
It has for long been an open secret that the Leaders of the North are behind Boko Haram campaign of mass murder.They want to reclaim their grip on the nation which they lost with the election of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. The Sarduana of Sokoto,Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar is on record to have utilized his Perception Management to aid Boko Haram terrorists to evade prosecution after their arrest. Senator Ali Modu Sheriff admitted in his deposition to the court that he sponsored the Boko Haram terrorists. He claimed to have used them as his political thugs. Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume was fingered by Boko Haram terrorist, Ali Sanda Umar Konduga as one of their sponsors.Senator Ali Ndume in his defence claimed to have acted at the behest of the Vice President,Namadi Sambo, in offering logistics and directing the opertions of the Boko Haram. Even our President,Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is in the know that the Hausa/Fulani members of his party and within his cabinet are among the sponsors of Boko Haram campaign of mass murder.His erstwhile NSA,Gen. Andy Azazi has a watertight evidence to prove that. So,that a Boko Haram Commander was apprehended in the home of an Hausa/Fulani Senator is no news at all.But one day,these sponsors of mass murder and their peons will be rounded up and made to pay for their crimes. But there seem to be a conspiracy of silence everywhere. Our so called Politicians and lawmakers seem to be more concerned with their sharing of our common national wealth than bother themselves about mass murder and the incipient genocide being perpetrated by the JTF. What country !
what a sameless country we found our self, For a member of house of assembly harbour a leader of Boko-haram in his house. pls who so ever d senator is he must be expose and let him explain what relation he is having with bloob sucker .
