Government to release list of Boko Haram sponsors

A list comprising of names of suspected backers of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram has been prepared by the federal government.

A local newspaper reports that the list was compiled by top security chiefs at a meeting on ending the the ceaseless attacks unleashed by  the sect.

The security chiefs were said to have worked on an intelligence report highlighting that “some top politicians are financially backing backing up the Islamic sect so as to de-stabilize the present administration.”

One of the security officials disclosed that the decision to compile the list was born out of the belief  that the anti-terrorism battle could be won sooner than expected if people linked with violence were exposed.

According to the official,”this confirms the claims of the National Security Adviser, Gen. Owoye Azazi, that some undemocratic practices within the ruling Peoples Democratic Party in the build-up to the 2011 general elections fuelled the violence…the alleged politicians include those who don’t want Nigerians from outside their region to rule the country.”
