Finally, Boko Haram Sponsors Exposed [See Names]

~2.2 mins read

Six Nigerians have been convicted by an Abu Dhabi Federal Court of Appeal in the United Arab Emirates, UAE, for funding of Boko Haram, according toinvestigations.

According to the report, two of the convicts, Surajo Abubakar Muhammad and Saleh Yusuf Adamu were sentenced to life imprisonment while the remaining four, Ibrahim Ali Alhassan, AbdurRahman Ado Musa, Bashir Ali Yusuf and Muhammad Ibrahim Isa were handed ten-year imprisonment respectively.

The convicts, according to a court judgment exclusively obtained by Daily Trustwere tried and convicted in 2019.The court judgment also showed that between 2015 and 2016, the convicts were involved in different cash transfers allegedly in favour of Boko Haram to the tune of USD782, 000.00 even as those close to them said the transactions were for legitimate purposes.

According to the newspaper, for the past 11 years, the issue of Boko Haram funding had remained mystery and different theories advanced by prominent personalities and groups.

This was probably the first time certain individuals were identified for Boko Haram funding, albeit outside the shores of Nigeria.

Court documents seen by Daily Trust indicate that arrest warrants from the office of the National Security Bureau were issued against the accused after investigations â€œconfirmed their involvement and membership of the Boko Haramâ€ terror group in Nigeria, and transferring money for that group.The accused were said to have been apprehended between April 16 and 17, 2017, and their homes searched according to the search warrant issued by the National Security Prosecution office dated April 16, 2017.

Thereafter, interrogation files were prepared for each of them.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth accused were charged with assisting the terror group knowingly, which is a crime under Article 31, Clause 1 of the same law, and is punishable by life imprisonment or jail for not less than five years under the UAE law.

It was gathered that almost all the transactions that landed the six Nigerians now in jail in the UAE were initiated by two undercover Boko Haram agents who are based in Nigeria from where they were facilitating the funding transactions.

One of them, Alhaji Saâ€™idu who is allegedly based in Nigeria, is said to be a senior undercover Boko Haram member responsible for facilitating the groupâ€™s access to funds from its sponsors.

Families of those affected told the newspaper that their relatives were most likely deceived in the course of their routine bureau de change transactions to the extent that some of the transactions they facilitated turned out to be for proceeds meant for Boko Haram activities.It was gathered that one of the Boko Haram couriers, Alhaji Saâ€™idu, would arrange an unidentified or vaguely identified Arab person on a visit to Dubai from Turkey to hand over an amount of money in US Dollars to one of the convicts who would, in turn, advise his Nigerian-based business partners to hand over the Naira equivalent of the amount to him (Alhaji Saâ€™idu).

A source familiar with the case said, â€œI think Alhaji Saâ€™idu is just Nom de guerre who used the gullibility of the victims to achieve his aim. They were into bureau de change business, receiving and sending monies on behalf of others.

US Election: Dog Wins Seat As Mayor In Kentucky Village

~1.4 mins read

At a time when even humans are trying hard, fighting tooth and nail to win elections, a six-month-old French bulldog, Wilbur, has been elected the mayor of Rabbit Hash, a Kentucky village.

Amy Noland, its owner, said the community has never had an actual person or human as their mayor, adding that the tradition to elect animals started in the late 1990s, Yahoo reports.

She said:

"There was a man named Don Claire who thought it would be a great idea to elect some type of animal - not necessarily a canine - as mayor of town, as a fundraising event for the historical society."

It should be noted that the town has a population of less than 500 people and is highly regarded as a historic place because of its antique general store built in 1831

Noland said the town is a community of dog lovers. She revealed that she adopted the dog four months ago and described it as very cute.

It should be noted that before Wilbur, there had been five dogs that had attained the position in the past. The name of the first dog mayor was Goofy.

Wilbur's owner said though the position is not political, it always happens around the time of the presidential election.

According to Noland, she invested so much passion into the dogâ€™s campaign because she wanted some positive news out there despite stories about the pandemic and the American election.

The giant African rat named Magawa was on Friday, September 25, morning awarded a gold medal for its bravery, devotion to lifesaving, and diligence on duty.

Magawa was formally presented with the miniature PDSA Gold Medal, which is the animal equivalent of the George Cross.
