Re-Terrorists in mass importation of rocket launchers
| |
By Ibrahim Usman. The Sunday Punch of August 5, 2012 published an empty article by one Toyosi Ogunseye on mass importation of rocket launchers into the hands of terrorists in Nigeria,
which it said was planned to replace the Improvised Explosive Devices hitherto used. According to the article, “the planned adoption of this new strategy would help them (terrorists) evade arrests by security agents.”
The write up, having given unnecessary detailed explanation and near-practical guide on how to use rocket launchers, said the weapons were smuggled into Nigeria from “extremist Arab countries”, with much emphasis on Iran. It indicated that, the report came from a “highly – placed source”. This is a dangerous and spurrious speculation that cannot be defended.
True to word, Nigeria had had, and is still having, a fair share of bomblasts that is claiming lives of innocent people. And true, there had been reports of security interception of weapons across porous Nigerian borders, especially from neighbouring African countries. We never had report of interception of weapons from Arab countries. It is however worth knowing that, the first time we heard of rocket launchers used in religious or tribal conflicts in Nigeria was recently in Jos, where an Islamic school in Buruku was targetted and a 10-year old boy was killed. To say that a rocket launcher imported from Arab countries, especially Iran was delivered into the hands of Non-Muslims, to attack Muslims is absurd. The article is insinuating that Arab countries are supplying rocket launchers to their fellow Muslims in Northern Nigeria to kill Non-Muslims. We may then ask, who then is supplying rocket launchers to Non-Muslims that was used on Muslims in Jos, and others recovered by Nigerian security operatives in some Non-Muslim dominated areas? No one cared to ask the countries supplying sophisticated weapos, including rocket launchers, to militants in the Niger Delta.
In an obvious contradiction, the report say, “It is no longer news that the Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb have penetrated this country and we can easily tell where these rockets are coming from. “We don’t have the sophistication to manufacture these war weapons. Iran, Yemen, Syria, Libya and others are suppliers.” To put record strainght, Iran had never been a haven for Al-Qaeda insurgency, even the U.N can attest to this fact. If Al-Qaeda is supplying these rocket launchers to their fellow terrorists in Nigeria as alleged, can we then say that the chief financier is the United States? It is now an open secret that Al-Qaeda is the brainchild of the United States. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in an attempt to justify U.S. presence in Pakistan, told the world that the United States created and funded the so-called Al-Qaeda. Hear her: “…the people we are fighting today, we funded twenty years ago.” Similarly, Jason Burke, author of a book titled, “Al Qaeda” told CNN in an exclusive interview that, “There was no Al-Qaeda organization. There was on international network with a leader with cadres who unquestionably obey oders, with tentacles that stretch out and split its cells in Amercia, in Africa, in Europe… that idea of a coherent structure terrorist network with organized capability simply does not exists”.
This spurious speculation is similar to the one made by the United States on Iran is supplying arms to Syrian government forces to crush the U.S. manufactured rebels. The aim is to weaken the good relationship between Iran and her neighbours. Nigeria and Iran are good allies with bilateral relationship in education, technology, petroleum resources development and many other aspects of development. To say that Iran will destroy such rewarding fellowship by hatching chaos in Nigeria is a statement with insidious intent .
This is not the first time such spurious speculations were made to surpress influence of Iran in Africa, Nigeria in particular. In 2008 former Israeli ambassador to Nigeria announced that, Hizbullah was planning to attack Israelis and their interests in West Africa to avenge the killing of its member by Israeli secret service, MOSSAD. According to Ram, the security report uncovered by the Israeli media did not specifically mentioned Nigeria, but it is all pointing towards that direction: “We know that they were not particular about Nigeria but I think that it is very feasible and might, you know, in the chain of events it might happen and eventually it can become a problem”.
Israel has history of arms deal in Nigeria, and now that the Nigerian security system is hijacked by Israel and United States by virtue of the so-called global global war on terror, anything can happen. One day, maybe after twenty years from now they will make it an open secret that they created and funded Boko Haram insurgency.
Incarceration of Muslim Brothers in Sokoto: Fiver Years On-Families demand explanation
By Ibrahim Usman- Families, women and children of the incarcerated members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria by the Sokoto state government under Alu Magatakarda Wammako five years ago, had called for the immediate release of their husbands and fathers. In an event in Sokoto commemorating five years since the illegal incarceration, the families described the day as the Day of the Opressed women and children whose bread winners were illegally detained by the Alu Magatakarda administration for no just cause.
Chairman, committee for the welfare of familities of the detained, Malam Muhammad Alkalanci sympathized with the families. He implored them to be patient, as the case would soon come to an end in their favour. According to him, those who hatched the conspiracy that led to the incarceration have woefully failed. “Indeed, we can say without any fear of contradiction that their plan has failed. Here we are in Sokoto running our activities under the Islamic Moement as usual. If their intention was to suppress our Islamic activities, then they have failed”.
Briefing them on the current situation of the court case, Malam Muhammad Alkalanci said, after several attempts by the Sokoto state justice department to stop counsel to the detained from making further appeal and demand for bail, the appeal was however made in Kaduna Appeal Court before the court was finally relocated to Sokoto, which he said had heard the appeal case.
He disclosed that, the court presented obstacles delaying the case, and the lawyers were not also helping matters, which he observed has delayed the case for too long. “The court always find fault with our papers, and the lawyer will demand for two weeks to correct the said error that could be corrected in two days”, he pointed out. He also said, they used to pay the lawyer N60,000 whenever he was to appear before the court, this forced them to change to a lawyer that is resident in Sokoto. “The change did not help matters, as the lawyer demands for two weeks to re-submit the case before the court. Whenever we remind him that the delay and the continued incarceration our brothers, he tell us that ours is not the only case he is handling”.
He said, in view of this they decided to revert to the first lawyer, whom he commended for exonerating the Muslim brothers from murder charges. “Though the lawyer is not a Muslim, he sympathizes with our situation. He is currently handling the case in a speedy manner. The speed at which the case is going, I do not think we are going to meet here again to commemorate the sixth year. We hope by then, Malam Kasimu and the rest of the brothers will be released”.
At the end of the event, women carried placards with inscription, “Where Are Our Husbands?”, while children carried placards asking, “Where Are Our Fathers?”.
