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, “I am not a member of Boko Haram and I
don’t know anything about the Nyanya blast. I deny it
because I was studying in Sudan when the incident
happened.”
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.
