THE military offensive against members of the extremist Boko Haram Islamic group claimed more casualties yesterday. A suspected sponsor of the sect, Mohammed Yusuf-led sect, Alhaji Buji Foi, was given summary execution in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital by the police. His execution took place at the state police command headquarters in Maiduguri. Foi's death came 24 hours after Yusuf was killed in action. The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Christopher Dega, confirmed the death of Yusuf, during a gun battle with joint military/police team on Thursday. He said quite a number of policemen were killed during the four-day battle with the Yusufiyya sect members in Maiduguri. Curiously, Foi was a Commissioner for Religious Affairs during the first term of Governor Ali Modu Sheriff. Before then, he had served twice as Chairman of Kaga Local Council, among other top public offices in the state. Foi, said to be a wealthy man, was arrested yesterday morning in his farm by the operatives of the Operation Flush 11 led by its commander, Col. Ben Ohanatu, where he allegedly camped women suspected to be wives of the sect's members. The former commissioner allegedly used his connection in the state to provide shelter for the fundamentalists. Before his execution at about 7a.m. yesterday, Foi was driven on the back of a police patrol van to the Government House by Ohanatu with his hands tied to the back. The troops had planned to show him to the governor but when Ohanatu discovered that Sheriff was not in the office, he headed for the headquarters of the Nigeria Police and handed him over. He was, thereafter, executed. Sources closed to the outfit said the former commissioner engaged the members of the Operation Flush in a gun battle for a long time, using a double barrel gun, which he allegedly acquired when he was a council chief. Briefing reporters on the circumstances that led to the death of Yusuf and suspected areas the fanatics were still hiding in the state, Dega said the sect leader died in a "crisis situation." According to him, during a confrontation with the troops, Yusuf sustained injuries. Dega said: "The sect leader did not survive the injuries he sustained at the battle field, after he was picked up. He died Thursday afternoon." On the number of policemen that died in the crisis, he said: "There are a lot of casualties, but we are not releasing the figures now, until we are able to compile a comprehensive list of policemen and sect members that died in the four-day battle in Maiduguri." Even though the police are on top of the Maiduguri crisis, he said "not all of them (sect members) have fled; there are still pockets of areas where they are living among the people." Dega said Yusuf had prepared to launch a war against the state government considering the quantum of arms and ammunition found in his house that the military shelled. He said: "After the shelling, we recovered guns, locally made bombs, explosives and knives in the arms dump." He added that the police were still recovering more weapons and ammunitions. The police boss confirmed that the bodies of sect members killed by the military would be given mass burial. http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/news/article01//indexn2_html?pdate=010809&ptitle=Boko%20Haram%20Suspected%20Financier%20Executed |

Our leaders together with the NPF are bastards. The late Alhaji Buji foi , http://www.weekly.dailytrust.com/images/resized/images/stories/people/dead_299_177.jpg the police are political killers. |

This is very serious O! Are these people not suspects anymore? What is the use of arresting them then going ahead to execute them? No! This is terrible. What is the use of a criminal or suspect surrendering to the police? If this is how it was done in Angola, would the Nigerian Government see Henry Okah that they are releasing now? The next time a policeman asks me to go to the station, will I not resist arrest? Will I not make it a "kill or be killed" affair? This is criminal. Yusuf himself was displayed to the press immediately he was arrested with no injuries on him. Where did this their gun battle take place whereby his body became riddled with bullets. Now they've killed this Boji fellow and claimed responsibility for his execution, tomorrow just read about it. You will hear them say he was killed during another shoot out. Why would they even tie his hands? What happened to handcuffs? Ah! NPF, you people are useless. Why should they even carry an arrested criminal to the office of a state governor? What in the name of God is all this? Abi the governor has his own private prison or cell in the state house? I don tire O! I don tire for una matter. |

CP Haruna is a bloody liar! He's just trying to alarm the whole of Nigeria into supporting their wanton executions. What if they were people escaping the violence? While under "interrogation" from the Nigerian Police, those men would have confessed that they assassinated JFK! |

@Tudor I don't doubt you that our 'cut and paste' journalists can do some crazy things with their pens, but if the police says It's A and the journalists say It's Z, then I believe It's X or Y. |
| Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by Tsiya(m): 8:53am On Aug 01, 2009 |
This true. This guy was a former commissioner and twice a chairman of a local government. There is something going behind the scene. Either the whole story about Boko Haram they are trying to sell to us is mixed with lies, or somebody is hiding something. |
| Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by Beaf: 8:59am On Aug 01, 2009 |
Something crazy is going on up North. Why these barbaric executions? This has to be some sort of political war going on. It has to be political assasinations. The foreign press and all human rights bodies are unto Nigeria again, just like in Abacha's time; yet this is supposed to be a democracy. The North is better off forming their own country, this disgrace is too much. |

So this movie that began about a week ago has finally ended. Nothing pains me more than the way Nigeria handles her situations, be it internal or external. Nigeria is definitely a failed state. |

The answer to all this things start in Bauchi, and with Isah Yuguda. The BOKO HARAM story was cooked up by a staunch supporter of Governor Yuguda: Isah Ibrahim in Bauchi. The Boko Haram people are technically the people that put Isah Yuguda in power in Bauchi. When he was chased out of PDP and move to ANPP, disgruntle people who are fed up with the way things are being done in Bauchi supported him, and the staunch supporters and those young, jobless and university drop outs. They put their life in the name of "a kasa, a tsare, a raka" meaning : "we vote, we protect the vote, we escorte the votes". After the election, Yuguda renegade on his promises. He became the worst than the previous governor. After defecting to PDP, sensing that these people can stop him, he started using his proxy islamic scholars, Isah Ibrahim is among them, to brand them with all dubious names. |

@Tsiya I have been dealing with Nairalanders for half a decade now, and I can tell you one thing about them, they are very critical, analytical and intelligent people. Sometimes they may carry wrong views, but they argue them out with valid points and logic. You can't sell this street corner cock and bull story about PDP and ANPP in here at all. You're preaching to the wrong crowd. Meanwhile, I know what your username means and I know that's the kind of name a member of Boko Haram would bear: TSIYA! |
| Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by Tsiya(m): 9:45am On Aug 01, 2009 |
@Nex The Tsiya u are talking about is not the hausa TSIYA. Well it is just another conspiracy theory. |

Na wa oo. . . . U guys should please not turn this thread into a religious war of words Go to the religious section for that Let's do the politicking the right way Peace |

Tsiya:So its a baseless conspiracy theory and you're here presenting it like it's absolute and verified truth. . . Anyway tell yourself whatever so you can at least have a good night sleep. . . |
| Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by nex(m): 9:56am On Aug 01, 2009 |
It's not the Hausa tsiya? How did you know I was referring to the Hausa tsiya? Is it the indonesian tsiya? Okay tell me which tsiya you want to bring upon us all. Just go sell your story to a band of Al Majiris and quickly distribute some catapults, daggers, bottles, bows and arrows, then send them to their death. Or did you not know that these are the weapons that Boko Haram armed their members with and sent them to their timely deaths. You want to say PDP this, ANPP that, Yuguda here and Yar'Adua there. But does an innocent party draw first blood? If It's all political, then why did Boko Haram decide to get physical? It is sad that these two men, after being captured, were executed, but don't come in here and try to use that sympathy as an avenue for propaganda. |

MrCrackles: As far as Im concern, Im not concern about the religious affiliation of these people. Im just know there is something behind this crises. I came from that region and I know how these people work. It is not about religious crises. The whole thing is political and bad governance.

BREAKING NEWS!!! a friend of mine who is a jouranalist with one of thenorthern newspapers just called me from maiduguri. He was arrested in the course of covering the crisis, mistaken as a member of the sect. so he, alongside about nine others, were taken to the Force headquarters where he was released as soon as he was properly identified. While he was at the police station, the BOKO HARAM leader, Yusuf Mohammed was brought in. Some of the Police men quickly suggested that he be transfered to Abuja while the Commander of the Military task force, the Major General(Dont know his name) and other policemen disagreed. their view was that it would prolong things and start a series of court cases and "stories" that could end up in the guy being freed. So they decided on Jungle justice- to settle it out of court and for ever. The guy was brought outside the PoliceHeadquarters where he spoke in Hausa language that he knew he had done wrong and he wanted people to pray for him. his pleas fell on deaf ears as he was placed by a wall and repeatedly fired at by soldiers and policemen. Thats it. |

mjbaba: May God punish the elements of the evil NPF and NA that have murdered civilians in cold blood! I wish them all the ill-fortune in the universe! Nigeria is officially a state-sponsor of terrorism, and the agents used to terrorize Nigerians are the despicable Nigerian Police Force (murderers in uniform) and the blood-thirsty Nigerian Army (animals in human skin). This lawlessness by the NPF and NA must not go unpunished! |

| Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by lonewolf: 11:54am On Aug 01, 2009 |
They killed the idiot, so what? If a bunch of people decide to behave like savages in an attempt to foist their stupid beliefs on the rest of the populace, I don't see anything wrong in treating them as they deserve: savages. |
| Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by RichyBlacK(m): 11:58am On Aug 01, 2009 |
The ultimate effect of these cold-blooded murders by the evil NPF is that the terrorized and oppressed people will learn lessons and take measures to checkmate the NPF and NA in future confrontations. Recall Odi. After the massacre of civilians by the evil NPF and NA, the oppressed people learned some lessons and prepared better, harder and longer. The result was massive attacks with all the impunity you can imagine! They even went as far as hitting Lagos. As the band of murderers in the NPF arrest civilians on the street, take them to police stations and summarily execute them, the next uprising in the North will be stronger, sharper, longer and directed at their oppressors, the evil NPF! It is very depressing that Nigerians, who claim to be educated and live in societies where the rule of law and due process are at the core of the order and stability they enjoy, support the heinous acts of the Nigerian Police Force and the Nigerian Army, in deliberately taking the life of innocent people. No wonder Nigeria is in such a pathetic state! They find it impossible to bring to bear on issues relating to Nigeria, the civility they enjoy in the Diaspora. They travel out but hold on to the barbaric ideologies they learned in lawless Nigeria! May the soul of all those unjustly killed by the state-sponsored terrorists (the Nigerian Police Force and the Nigerian Army) rest in perfect peace. Amen. |

Those who live by the sword must be killed by the sword. That said it would have been better for him to have been summarily executed after facing a swift drumhead court-martial. |
| Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by RichyBlacK(m): 12:07pm On Aug 01, 2009 |
lonewolf: No matter their alleged crimes, once caught, they should be accorded due legal process! That is what humans who have evolved from barbarism do! That is what animals in human skin do not understand. If these summary executions happened in the UK, whereby cops killed 10 Nigerians in custody, it is people like you that will start screaming about human rights! However, senior elements in the NPF are ordering summary executions of fellow Nigerians and you're supporting it? Nigerians must condemn this otherwise it will set a new precedent, and the result will be summary executions will become normal practice! Shame on the Nigerian government! |
| Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by Nobody: 12:13pm On Aug 01, 2009 |
@Richy black Easy with the diatribe. Nigeria now is moving closer to a total breakdown in law and order. Certainly those who take up arms against their fellow citizens should expect to receive swift military-style justice. The West that you are on about have faced similar crises in the past and dealt with it in the same way |
| Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by jungle700: 12:14pm On Aug 01, 2009 |
Good riddance to bad rubbish |
| Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by Beaf: 12:15pm On Aug 01, 2009 |
@RichyBlacK Summary executions are already standard practice in Nigeria. Its just that its never been done so brazenly before; in repeated and open defiance of the international Human Rights organisations. I expect Nigeria to hauled before the UN shortly. The West has been looking for an excuse to wrestle down the implementation of sharia across the North. |
| Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by lonewolf: 12:16pm On Aug 01, 2009 |
If an individual decides to go outside the operation of the law in an attempt to foist jungle beliefs and philosophy on a multi-cultural populace, that individual has effectively declared himself an enemy of the state. Basic criminal matters or civil matters are catered for by statutes, codes and laws. But any slowpoke with a law dgree knows that as of yet, there's no developed jurisprudence for terrorism -- which is effectively what this Boko Haram idiot was engaged in. When you stoop to terrorism, you take yourself outside the operation of known jurisprudence and things become shaky. Even the West is yet to develop an acceptable set of laws to deal with terrorists. And in most cases, they hold them indefinitely. (A court in America just declared that a certain terror suspect should be freed but Obama is still holding the suspect.) The point here is: from the comfort of your room, with a tea and digestive buscuit in hand, you can sit and whine about rule of law. Blah, blah, blah. But real recognise real -- and in this case, while it's not ideal that terror suspect be summarily executed, it is the pragmatic thing to do. If I was your President, in fact, I would have made sure they killed him in battle and not arrest him at all. |
