The Grave Allegations From The Stephen Davis – By Femi Fani Kayode

Article written by former minister, Femi Fani
Kayode.
I read the grave allegations made by an
Australian by the name of Mr. Stephen Davi
s
about those that he believes are behind Boko
Haram.He made some very serious allegations,
he mentioned names and I would be interested
in seeing the hard evidence that he claims to
have.
I have always said that I believe that anyone,
no matter which political party that person
belongs to and no matter how highly placed or
powerful that person may be, that is involved
with Boko Haram ought to be captured, caged,
flogged and brought to justice because I regard
such people as nothing but bloodthirsty beasts.

I have also always said that I believe that some
of the leading members of the opposition APC
are secret sponsors and supporters of Boko
Haram and I am glad that Mr. Davis appears to
share this view and that he has indeed
confirmed my worst fears in his celebrated
interview with Arise TV.
Similar concerns have been raised and
allegations made about the suspicious nexus,
the direct link and the questionable relationship
between APC and Boko Haram by senior
Members of Parliament in the British House of
Commons together with a number of leading
Russian and American civil and religious
institutions, organisations, commentators and
political figures.
It is therefore good news that Mr. Davis has
confirmed some of our collective suspicions and
fears and that he has decided to come out and
tell us what he knows given the role that he
played in the negotiations to broker a deal to
get the Chibok girls released from Boko Haram.
I have little doubt that on the allegation that the
APC and Boko Haram are linked Davis is
absolutely right.
I am not however convinced about the
culpability of one or two of the other people
that he has fingered. No-one should be spared
if the evidence is really there but I must say
that I find the allegation that, for example, the
former Chief of Army Staff, General Azubuike
Ihejirika, is somehow involved with Boko Haram
a little far-fetched.
I say this because firstly the man spent so much
of his time, energy, career and resources
fighting that same terrorist organisation that he
is now being accused of being part of.
Secondly I say it because that terrorist
organisation has killed and continues to kill so
many of his own officers and men. And thirdly I
say it because the man is not a muslim but a
christian and I have never heard of a christian
helping or assisting an islamist terrorist
organisation in their quest to establish an
islamic fundamentalist state or ”new world
caliphate” in his country.
This is especially so when that terrorist
organisation is committed to wiping out the
christian faith itself and killing every christian,
every secularist and every moderate muslim in
the country. It seems to me that this is an
absurd notion and that it really doesn’t make
any sense but if the Australian has any hard
evidence let us see or hear it.
Again I disagree strongly with the leading figures
in the opposition that have said that the Federal
Government and the PDP are the ones behind
Boko Haram. I say this because those
individuals know very well that the APC as a
party have far more sympathy for Boko Haram
and far many more of their leaders and
members have spoken up for and in defence of
Boko Haram than anyone else.
On Friday 29th August in Thisday Newspaper
one of those leaders said that the Senator from
Borno state that was facing terrorism charges
was ”a PDP member”. This is not true. The
Senator that he was referring to is Senator
Ndume and he is in the APC and not the PDP.
Quite apart from that certain things need to be
noted. Let me remind those that are pointing
fingers at the PDP today that It was not a
member of the PDP or the Federal Government
that said that Boko Haram should not be
proscribed as an organisation, even after they
had slaughtered no less than 15,000 innocent
Nigerians in cold blood, sometime last year. It
was rather the official spokesm
