Boko Haram is not yet over in Nigeria - Junaid Muhammed

- A former House of Representatives
member, Junaid Muhammed has
warned that Boko Haram insurgence is
not yet over
- Muhammed also said there is a cabal
in the presidency and the said ‘cabal’
are responsible for preventing the
confirmation of Ibrahim Magu as the
chairman of EFCC
A former House of Representatives
member, Junaid Muhammed, has
warned that Nigeria has not seen the
end of Boko Haram insurgence.
Muhammed in an interview with
Punch said: “I said and I repeat, Boko
Haram is still alive and well. Even if they
are not holding territory for a prolonged
period in Nigeria, there is no denying the
fact that they are still holding areas in the
northern part of Nigeria, Ditto in Niger
Republic and part of Northern Cameroon.                                                                                                                  
“Whoever says they have been defeated is
telling lies and taking diabolical liberties
with a lack of the thorough knowledge that
one is supposed to have before commenting
on such matters.”
Mohammed also said a “cabal” in the
presidency was preventing the
confirmation of Ibrahim Magu as the
chairman of the Economic and Crimes
Commission (EFCC).
He said Magu’s case is being used by
the cabal to distract the public from
Babachir Lawal, secretary to the
government of the federation (SGF),
who should have stepped down
following the allegations of corruption
against him.
He said: “The DSS report cannot be a basis
of an indictment against Magu because the
DSS is acting in cahoots with the cabal;
they take directives from the cabal and we
have to be careful,” he said.
“In the case of Lawal, he should have been
asked to step aside but that was not done.
And then to cover the tracks, the cabal and
some elements within the Presidency tried
to bring in the case of Magu to distract the
public.”
Meanwhile, the Defence Headquarters
(DHQ) has alerted the general public
of the new modus operandi of the
Boko Haram terrorists.
In a statement released yesterday,
January 19 by the DHQ spokesman,
Brigadier-General Rabe Abubakar said
the terrorists are now targeting
worshipers and other soft vulnerable
places at dawn.
