Meanwhile I saw the pictures and
watched the video of Dapchi residents cheering on and waving at Boko Haram insurgents
as they dropped off the “missing” girls. It was clear to me that they regarded
the terrorists as heroes and I was compelled to ask myself the following
question, “are we really one country?”
So many questions need to be
answered. For example how do you explain the Ghana Must Go bags that the girls
were carrying on their return? Did they go shopping in Sambisa Forest? Or is it
that when they abducted them they gave them time to pack all their clothes and
allowed them to bring them back when freed?
Another question that needs to be
answered is this: why did the Federal Government lie to the international media
that the girls were dropped off in Dapchi at 3.00am in the morning when the
footage and pictures prove of their return prove that the whole thing was done
in broad daylight.
Finally why did the government
inflate the number of the girls that were abducted when the kidnapping took
place six weeks ago. They claimed that 110 girls were missing after which the
school and the parents set the record straight and said that 105 girls were
kidnapped and not 110.
Could it be that they knew that
in order to make their story more credible after money had changed hands and
the girls were returned they had to be able to say that at least 5 of the girls
died whilst in captivity without having to actially kill any of them?
This seems to me to be the only
plausible reason for telling this lie and sticking to it to the end even though
it had been exposed for what it was from the outset by the parents of the girls
and the school authorities.
Finally why are the govermmrnt
telling the whole world more lies by saying that no ransom was paid in return
for the girls?
It is common knowledge in
intelligence and security circles that vast sums of money was paid to the
terrorists and quite a lot of that money was sent back to some of the
govermmrnt officials that were involved in the negotiations and the scam as a
kickbsck.
The point is that the whole thing
was planned and agreed on well before the abduction ever took place. That is
why our Minister of Defence could tell the Nigerian people just a few days ago
that the girls would definately be released within 2 weeks at the most.
A few days later they were
dropped off by their terrorist abductors in Dapchi after all the soldiers and
security personnel that had been deployed to the area were withdrawn.
As the terrorists entered the
town with the girls they were hailed as heroes and received like freedom
fighters by the locals and not as if they were terrorists.
The Boko Haram insurgents not
only interacted with the crowd openly with smiles on their faces but they also
spoke to the parents of the girls, apologised to them about what happened and
told them not to allow their children to go to school again.
Apart from the fact that they
made vast sums of money in their deal with Buhari it is clear that this whole
thing is the gratest public relations stunt for Boko Haram ever since it began
its operations 7 years ago and they have won many friends and admirers as a
consequence of it.
The narrative that they would not
have abducted the girls had they known they were Muslims, though false, seems
to have resonated very with well with the local Muslim population in the north
and this can only help Boko Haram and swell its ranks.
Someone is giving them very good
advice and counsel and I suspect that that person or group of persons are in
government and are also in one or more of our intelligence and security
agencies.
They are working with Boko Haram
in the same way as the dreaded Pakistani intelligence agency, known as the
Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), works covertly and in collaboration and
collusion with the Taliban.
Whichever way you look at it and
whatever you believe, there can be little doubt that a terrible precedent has
now been set and we can expect many more Boko Haram abductions in the next few
months after which money will change hands again and the girls, as long as they
are Muslims, will be released and returned.
This is especially so because the
2019 elections are approaching and the government needs to raise funds to build
up its war chest.
Meanwhile, due to the massive
amount of cash that they are receiving from these exercises, the numbers and
strength of Boko Haram itself will increase enormously over the next few months
until they become one of the most effective and wealthy terrorist armies and
organisations in the world.
The Nigerian people and and
indeed the people of the West African sub region do not know it yet but the
truth is that we are all in trouble.
What Buhari and his friends have
foisted on us is something that few can comprehend and imagine and the truth is
that we simply cannot handle it.
Add that to the scourge of the
Fulani herdsmen that has blighted the country and afflicted our people and you
will accept that unless something gives and changes very quickly the future of
our country is bleak.
A terrible precedent has been set
and we shall rue the day that this was done. The government believes that it
will boost its ratings and increase its popularity by these shameless
manouverings and subtefuge but as the truth begins to unfold, and be rest
assured that it eventually will, the whole exercise will backfire badly.
The truth is that the Dapchi
incident is the biggest scam and money-making venture in the history of
Nigerian politics and those poor girls are just pawns in a much bigger game and
wider picture.
The fact of the matter is that
Buhari is the owner of both Boko Haram and the Fulani herdsmen. He trades in
blood, death and terror.
And if you really believe that a
President that is capable of pulling off the Dapchi scam with Boko Haram will
allow a free and fair election next year then you need to have your head
examined.
The truth is that there is no law
and there is no democracy in Nigeria.
This is a lawless and dangerous
country where
anything can happen and anything
is possible because the machinery of government has been highjacked by the
emissaries of hell and the Kingdom of Darkness.
The Guardian Newspaper reported
that,
“Boko Haram shook hands with the
parents and apologised for abducting them.They said if they knew they were
Muslim girls, they wouldn’t have abducted them”.
Can you imagine the implications
of that?
I have been reliably informed
that 15 year old Miss Liya Sharibu, the only Christian among the Dapchi girls,
has not been released simply because she refused to renounce her faith and
convert to Islam whilst in captivity.
Buhari told his Boko Haram
friends to return the Dapchi girls yet Liya Sharibu, the only Christian amongst
them, was not released because of her faith.
105 girls and one boy were taken
and, according to CNN and BBC TV, 104 girls and one boy were returned home
today. But little Liya was not allowed to come home. They decided to keep her
in captivity.
I pray for her and her family.
May God console them, give them strength and avenge them. If she is still alive
I pray that God touches their hearts and that they release her.
I call on the Christian God, the
Lord of the Universe, the Ancient of Days, the Lord of Hosts, the Great Avenger
and the God of all Flesh, to avenge us and remove these cow lovers and sons of
the bonded woman from the seat and corridors of power.
I pray that the Lord delivers us
and wipes away our tears and collective shame.
Permit me to conclude this
contribution with the words of Mr. Nata Sharibu, who is Liya’s father. He said
the following to the Cable:
“All of them were released. They
said some were dead there and my daughter is alive but they cannot release her
because she is a Christian. They gave her the option of converting in order to
be released but she said she will never become a Muslim. I am very sad but I am
also jubilating too because my daughter did not denounce her faith”.
This is a courageous man and a
great soldier of Christ. May the Lord return his daughter, gladden his heart
and grant him peace and joy. God be with Liya. God be with us all.
