Be ready for a bumpy read, but be sure to find it interesting. At least, so I think.
While terrorism and
wanton acts of destruction go on unabated in Nigeria, another can of
worms has been opened regarding the identities of the real sponsors of
the deadly Boko Haram group.
Sheikh Haliru, a founding member of the
dreaded jama’aful Ahlul sunna wal Liddawati wal Jihad also referred to
as the Boko Haram sect who has since found a new faith made startling
revelations recently when he named some well placed Nigerians as the
financial backbone of the sect.
Sani Haliru who was born to a
"Nigerien" father and a Nigerian mother grew up in Wulari, in Borno
State where his mother hails from. Like most boys, he became an Almajiri
at the age of ten and was trained for four years. At 14, he was sentto
Kano where he studied at Sheikh Abubakar Gumi School of Arabic Studies.
Apart from being studying at the feet of the popular Sheikh Gumi, Haliru
prided himself as a mentee of the late Al Quaeda leader, Osama bin
Laden.
