BREAKING: Sunday Igboho linked to Boko Haram Terrorist jailed in UAE

The federal government has said that its investigation has established a link between Sunday Adeyemo ‘Igboho’ and a suspected financier of terrorism.

The Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, said this in a statement on Friday.

Igboho is a lead separatist in Nigeria, seeking for the sovereignty of the Southwest region.

According to Malami, the Muhammadu Buhari administration’s findings show that a company controlled by Igboho transferred N12.75 million to another owned by Abdullahi Usman, who is linked to Abubakar Muhammad Surajo, a terror financier currently jailed in the UAE.

“Investigation reveals that Adesun International Concept Ltd (belonging to Igboho) transferred the sum of twelve million seven hundred and fifty thousand naira (N12, 750,000) to Abbal Bako & Sons.”

“It might be recalled that Abbal Bako & Sons and its promoter Abdullahi Umar Usman are suspects in the on-going Joint Terrorist Financing Investigation. Abdullahi Umar Usman is by way of financial transaction connected to SURAJO ABUBAKAR MUHAMMAD (who was sentenced to life imprisonment in UAE on charges of financing terrorism [Boko Haram]).”

“This report shows the nexus between separatists’ agitation, terrorism financing and disruptions of peace in the country.”

“The report found connections of financial transaction between Adesun International Concept Ltd (belonging to Igboho) and some construction companies and businesses among others.”

“Having received the reports, the Federal Government remains solute in its determination to have a peaceful Nigeria. The Federal Government will do the needful, within the context of the legal provisions, in ensuring that the matter is giving the deserved attention and those found guilty will be made to face the wrath of the law.”
