I've just read the celebrated story titled 'Boko Haram Member Exposed!!! Ibrahim Babangida is the sponsor of Boko Haram'. The author had encouraged readers to forward the message to those anxiously waiting to know the sponsors of Boko Haram. The report according to the author emanated from the excerpt of a book - Unveiling Boko Haram authored by a prominent member of the group by the name Blessing Usman, who has just been converted to the Christian faith. (See the attached). A careful study of the work has shown that the book if it actually exists is the work of the third columnist. I see a lot of fabrication of facts and attempt to nail some leaders of the country. Nigerians should beware of fakes who are zealous in seeing the downfall of their potential enemies. The following points will give honest leaders some food for thought:
1. The story of Blessing Usman is too sweet for a critical scholar to believe. This is because the name of the Boko Haram member turned Christian appeared fake.
2. Prominent people alleged as sponsors of Boko Haram such as Ibrahim Babangida, Atiku Abubakar, Mohammadu Buhari, Ali Baba Nur, Asari Dokubo, Jasper Akinbo, Mohammed Yusuf, Salisu Maigari, Danlami Abubakar, Cletus Okar, Ali Qaqa, Maigari Haliru and Asabe Dantala unnamed emirs and governors are far from being true.
3. Blessing Usman's derogatory comment about Islam and its adherence calling them hypocrites embarking on religion of violence is unbecoming of a good Christian that he not claim to be.
If the author is sure of his fact he should come out from hiding and publicly show evidences of his claims in the book. People behind this type of faking are enemies of peace and unity of the Nigeria nation. They need to be closely watched. Dayo Alao, Babcock University.
