We Are Probing Sheriff Over Boko Haram Link - SSS
The Department of State Security has revealed that it has already invited former governor of Borno State, Modu Sheriff for interrogation after news surfaced that he sponsors.
The security agency said it has already quizzed Sheriff twice over his alleged involvement with the sect and added they are also investigating the allegations by the Australian negotiator, Stephen Davies.
The Deputy Director, DSS Public Relations, Marilyn Ogar today said: “Sheriff has been invited twice and he has been invited again (over his alleged sponsorship of Boko Haram). Investigation is ongoing to review every aspect of Davies allegations.”
She was speaking while parading the masterminds of the Nyanya bomb blasts to the press today and also revealed that contrary to popular believe by Davies that the CBN official who handled the funding of Boko Haram, is an uncle to three of those arrested in connection with the Nyanya bombings, none of the six suspects in the agency’s custody was related to another by blood.
She said: “In other words, none is a cousin or nephew to any other and only two suspects namely Yau Saidu and Anas Isah have ever lived together at the makeshift clinic called ‘Kishi Clinic’ operated by Rufai Tsiga, a co-mastermind of the bomb blast who is still at large''.
She also said that none of the suspects after interrogation revealed any blood line with any staff of the CBN, noting that the clarification was necessary to correct the erroneous impression in the media.
Ogar labelled Mr Davies as a Self styled and self-appointed negotiator.
When Ogwuche was questioned by journalists, he denied any involvement with the Nyanya Bombing and said he was in Sudan as at the time of the blast.
He however admitted to donating N30,000 to widows of Boko Haram members through Tsiga, who had been declared wanted for his roles in the Nyanya blast.
When asked why he left military service, he said he left in order to to go and study Arabic in Sudan even as he admitted receiving lectures and taking demonstrations with a Jihadist group in Britain before he came back to Nigeria.
He said,
The Nyanya bombing had in Abuja had taken place as people came back from work, the death toll is said to be in the hundreds.
