#CODED-ish News::The Truth about Boko Haram, CIA, USA, Shekau & the 200 Girls
Communiqué from the proceedings of the 4th ENDS.ng Consultative Assembly; held via global media conference on the 10th of May, 2014. Re: Chibok Abduction, The Best Approach on National Security, and Risk Management of Provocative Tensions in Light of Suspicion, Failure and Conspiracies.
There are countless conspiracies being disseminated about the causes, failures and implications of the current state of the nation and the management of Boko Haram terror. Increasingly, the following and more questions and accusations are floating across various media platforms: Were the girls really abducted? Is this, or rather, this is US' ultimate technique to invade Nigeria; this is CAN (Christian Association of Nigeria); this is Jonathan; this is Jonathan, CAN, CIA and the man; and numerous other conspiracies.
There are countless conspiracies being disseminated about the causes, failures and implications of the current state of the nation and the management of Boko Haram terror. Increasingly, the following and more questions and accusations are floating across various media platforms: Were the girls really abducted? Is this, or rather, this is US' ultimate technique to invade Nigeria; this is CAN (Christian Association of Nigeria); this is Jonathan; this is Jonathan, CAN, CIA and the man; and numerous other conspiracies.
In lieu of the above, we release the following statements, which we believe are in the best interest of the Nigerian citizenry and foreign partners:
1. Who is Shekau: Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau is a mythical figure, empowered and held in existence by the news media. According to military spokesperson, Maj. General Chris Olukolade, as contained in a press statement on Saturday, "'Shekau' is a title and not an individual." [DHQ claims Abubakar Shekau is not Boko Haram leader's real name; DailyPost.ng; 10th May, 2014] "Talking about the personality that has been presenting himself as head of that group, besides knowing the fact that the term Shekau is more of a title than a name, there are many issues around it that makes it still fake. I don't want to get into the details of that." – Olukolade.
This statement comes after the United States Special Forces team arrived in Abuja to assist Nigerian security services in rescuing the 234 Chibok abducted girls.
Local and international media have curiously released several different versions of Abubakar Shekau without appropriate disclaimers. This media slackness has helped promote Boko Haram's narcissistic goals. "Shekau" variations include a muscular version, a "Shekau" with a broken nose of average build, and a particularly lanky Shekau. Others include electronic versions of "Shekau" with abnormal movements and improperly positioned appendages. A top US think-tank, the CFR (Council of Foreign Relations) has acknowledged the various impersonations/person-variations of Shekau as promoted by the media. "On 20 August 2013, NOS (Dutch Broadcasting Foundation) announced that Shekau had died recently. Allegedly, Shekau was wounded a few weeks earlier and transported to Cameroon, where he died." [Wikipedia archives of March 24th, 2014; Pre abduction—this was revised after the abduction crises with a new global objective].
The conduct of local and international media as such promotes Boko Haram's desires to instill endearing fear in Nigerians and immortality in their leadership profile. Nigeria's military confirmed the mortal wounding of a version of Shekau in August of 2013. This was verified by Dutch media as referenced above. With media's unchecked promotion of all Shekau messages, "Shekau" remains immortal and immutably powerful. The effect of the release of the terror leaders press releases is tantamount to media terrorism and does not help in abating Boko Haram terror, which has strategic aims to instill fear and surrender via these well scripted messages of "scary" heroin intoxicated (as recognized from body itch behaviors)"Shekaus'."
According to Raphael F. Perl, Specialist in International Affairs, Foreign Affairs and National Defense Division, Congressional Research Service [Terrorism, The Media, And The Government: Perspectives, Trends, And Options For Policymakers]:
"Terrorists need publicity, usually free publicity that a group could normally not afford or buy. Any publicity surrounding a terrorist act alerts the world that a problem exists that cannot be ignored and must be addressed. From a terrorist perspective, an unedited interview with a major figure is a treasured prize. … They seek a favorable understanding of their cause, if not their act. … Legitimacy. Terrorist causes want the press to give legitimacy to what is often portrayed as ideological or personality feuds or divisions between armed groups and political wings."
Shekau should be considered DEAD and the media if interested in assisting the war on terror should bury this terror title. Global practice on anti-terrorism, details the role of the media in only releasing information in the best interest of the security of the people and abstaining from the promotion of terrorists. Most terror releases need only to be communicated to State security departments.
2. US Interest in Sponsoring and Fostering Terror in Nigeria: There is no credible evidence to this suspicion. The United States would be doing a poor job if Boko Haram was their technique to invade or dismantle Nigeria. Boko Haram is hardly successful at achieving this; what they have most to their credit is the destruction of Nigeria's northern farmers and farming villages. The United States has professed reluctance to engage against Boko Haram in the best interest of their people. Till date, Boko Haram has not targeted US interests and US will like to keep it this way.
Only seven US Special Force men were sent to Nigeria as a statement of their reserved engagement. Sponsorship of Boko Haram terror can more plausibly be found toward the Middle East and Europe; as well as via the "missing $20-127 billion." The abduction of French nationals earned Boko Haram terrorism a whopping sum of millions of dollars. This is direct sponsorship sought. Nigerian politicians to the top executive level have been directly implicated in support for Boko Haram terror. The nation's Vice President, has been clearly implicated. Nigerians must responsibly and effectively address Boko Haram terrorism, its sponsorship and solutions at the local level; this includes from the Presidency, local politicians and individual level.
Of course, the United States has files on Boko Haram terror activities, connections and links. In seeking out the abducted girls, the US did not come to Nigeria to conduct fresh investigations, but came with folders and dossiers with actionable information harvested and available over the years. Nigeria's failure to secure and utilize information readily available via media interception and aerial surveillance is a result of our failed, hopelessly corrupt administration and not the fault of those able and capable to mine data on their and foreign nations security situations.
The US team has already provided information on the location and movement of the girls. They first notified us that they were located in Sambisa forest, verifying information that ENDS exclusively provided Nigerians on April 25th. More recent reports indicate the US team relaying the translocation of the girls to a forest in Gombe.
3. Were The Girls Truly Abducted: Yes, ENDS has verified via its personal connections with people on the ground in the affected regions, that Nigeria's girls were actually abducted by the terrorists. We have been in touch with the actual families; this is no "911." The government of Borno released a detailed Press statement Saturday in which they informed that in keeping with international conventions on the rights of children, they were not at liberty to release the images of our poor girls who we allowed to be abducted by terror, due to our complacency and tolerance of worthless, criminal leadership and community elders. Politicizing and religion-izing this abduction is sheer wickedness. These victims from Chibok Government Girls School, as well as most victims of Boko Haram terror over the four years, cut across religious and geographical boundaries.
4. Root Cause, Support and Sponsorship of Boko Haram II: We the people are the root cause of the unlimited success of Boko Haram terror in Nigeria since the inception of the Goodluck Jonathan administration. By electing this president who was already implicated in militant sponsorship in Bayelsa, we signed off the nation to a future of terror. Our failure to act and our obsession with firing shots at the "opposition," the "other religion," the "other ethnic group," the "other nation," and any "other" we can find, is to blame for the success of Boko Haram terror. Very few of us have braved the risks and gone ahead to make solid proclamations against the terror group since its onset. Only today do we see prominent leaders issuing strong statements of condemnation and invoking action. We the people have been caught in silent approval of Boko Haram's carnage because it is/was not prevalent in "our" areas or affecting "our" spheres of life. Today, Boko Haram has been pushed to marginal communities and even the leadership in Borno, possibly of different ethnicity from the areas around Boko Haram's operational axis, are more complacent.
We have seen northern youth rise up and burn down properties and religious sanctuaries, as puppet warriors when called upon by self imposed northern leaders. We have seen the Ahmed Datti lead Council for Sharia in Nigeria, call for war in regard to beauty pageants, Osama, so-called Sharia banking; but we are yet to see their calls for Jihad against Boko Haram, and we do not require it of his council.
We failed for the many years of Boko Haram carnage, to see clear condemnations fromm the Supreme Council on Islamic Affairs, from the office and organization of the Sultan. But these leaders are not alone in the blame. What have we the people done? Have we since gathered with the same fervor we do when we feel our religion is threatened, to go to Sambisa and exterminate Boko Haram? Have we the people pushed for our right to defend ourselves and gone to protect our people? But we are the first to blame the US, and eager to declare that we know how to fight and are ready to wage battle against other ethnic groups or religions that share and face the same problems of poverty, administrative oppression and insecurity that we all face in the hands of the government and Cabal terrorists and Boko Haram.
The real sponsor of Boko Haram is the image we see in the mirror. Not the US, not CAN, not Jonathan, but our very selves, because if we participated in more than divisive riots, and took a single physical action against first Boko Haram terror then government terror, Nigeria would not be in the shameful state it is today and our girls will not be subjected to Boko Haram rape.
Groups like the Muslims Against Terror, headed by Dr. JP Amadi Jnr., and individuals like Sheikh Gumi, late Sheikh Albani Zaria, Sheikh Jingir, Sheikh Pakistani, and others not mentioned, have been bold enough to risk their lives in spelling out the truth to Boko Haram from the onset. Many have lost their lives in the process, but these are the people with a difference and not partakers in the sponsorship of this monster.
Conclusion: Boko Haram has the ability to engage and defeat Nigeria. They have the vehicles, equipment, morale, skills, finance and media advantage that if they so desired, they could drive right to Nigeria's capital and overthrow our government.
In a Wikileaks release, during discussions post annihilation of Boko Haram by the Yar'Adua government, it was mentioned that the error Mohammed Yusuf made was accepting a header, "Western Culture is Bad," "Boko Haram," as against a more favorable and embraceable caption like, "Crusade against malgovernance." Had Mohammed Yusuf done so, perhaps today he will be the leader of Nigeria.
We have the errors and drug overdose derived blunders of Boko Haram, to thank for the present limitation of the crises, not our actions/inactions or the helplessness and treachery of our government and State security services.
Comment: As a final personal rendition, I must say that Nigerians should be thankful that a person like me (Dr. Peregrino Brimah) has no political intentions. If a man like me was ever governor or President of Nigeria, I would for the first two weeks in office, command every single Nigerian who has done nothing other than participate in the dissemination of rumors, or the participation in or incitement of divisive and ethnic riots and strife, and not actively fought the government or civilian terrorists, to two weeks of kneeling down with hands up on the road side.
Involvement of ENDS
ENDS has been publicly involved in the war against terrorism since March 18th, 2013. The organization has provided Civilian-JTF and communities of Borno, several tools to assist in the war against Boko Haram. Recently as featured on Borno State Television and NTA in April of 2014, ENDS donated Taser torch-lights, pepper spray and walkie-talkie's, procured since mid 2013, to the Civilian-JTF to assist in their frontline engagements. In May 2014, ENDS commenced the delivery of Bullhorn alarms for affected communities to alert their people of impending Boko Haram attacks.
ENDS has also provided handheld alarms and other confidential non-lethal anti-terror modern equipment to the Civilian line of defense. ENDS solicits the right of civilians to defend themselves and is encouraging a thousands of members, civilian armed force that will combat and eliminate Boko Haram this year. ENDS is also strongly pushing for global resolutions and sanctions against the leadership of Nigeria and their private partners who are implicated in the nation's state of insecurity and sponsorship of Boko Haram terror. ENDS also solicits regional responsibility and determination as a way forward in Nigeria.

#CODED-ish News::What Gamboru Residents Plan On Doing Over Repeated Boko Haram Attacks
Some of the residents disclosed to newsmen that they have decided to move to Cameroon for safety as the Nigeria Government could no longer protect them from deadly Boko Haram attacks.
The community's spokesperson, Bulama Modu, who said they had no choice rather than to relocate, said the decision was the only way to avoid more killings by the sect members who recently attacked their town and killed over 200 people.
It would be recalled that several people were killed on May 4 in Gamboru, their international market was set ablaze and several public structures including a major bridge linking Nigeria, Cameroon, and Chad blew up.
"The people of Gamboru-Ngala have been patient for a long time even as our people continued suffering serious loses of both lives and property in the past without the Federal Government and security operatives doing anything to protect us" Modu said.
The spokesman, who complained that the Nigerian army and other security agencies have not done enough to protect them, said; "Our experiences in most of the attacks especially the recent one confirmed to us that Federal Government and its security forces have failed to protect our lives and property.
"Now that the level of killings and destructions inflicted on us reached its peak, the alternative before us is to take away our whole families and take permanent refuge in Cameroon Republic, because our lives would be more secured there.
"We have more reasons now to believe possible conspiracy which may not be ruled out in the last attack, because the troops earlier stationed in the town were withdrawn few hours before the gunmen laid siege on the area", said Mr. Bulama.
"We felt abandoned and neglected when the soldiers deployed to the town were suddenly pulled out and re-deployed to other parts of the state under the excuse that they went searching for the abducted Chibok schoolgirls.
"It was a very pathetic situation for us because we were left at the mercy of policemen at the border outpost here, who gallantly engaged the gunmen, but later had to run as the insurgents were overpowering them with their more sophisticated weapons and large number" he said.
According to another resident, who said he lost three brothers during the recent attack, said; "We, the entire community members have long concluded arrangement on how to leave Nigeria for Cameroon, where we believe our lives may be well protected and safe".
Another bereaved resident, who gave his name as Yerima, said; "The sooner the Federal Government adopts drastic measures to tackle the Boko Haram insurgency before it consumes more lives, the better. We will not continue staying in our country when our lives are being endangered. Government should urgently do something before the situation gets out of hand".
Borno State Governors' Response
Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State, after accessing the level of damages done by the boko haram attack, promised that government would alleviate the suffering of the people.
"My heart goes out to you all; we are really in a period of crisis. Please consider these incidents as occurrence which the Almighty God is very much aware. I assure you all that government will rebuild the burnt market and assist the traders to minimize their financial losses. I have just appointed a seven-member committee whose chief responsibility is identifying all victims for possible assistance" he said.

#CODED-ish News:: ...This also didn't happen in Nigeria. + Are foreign troops in Nigeria?
Also, you can see in all the pics floating online, from the uniforms, the African soldiers taking notes from American forces are from Uganda and Somalia. Military aid has been in Africa for sometime under AFRICOM to help train our military.
Now to the second issue; are there foreign troops in Nigeria? There are reports this morning that the Special Forces of the US Marines have sited the abducted Chibok Girls in Sambisa Forest...this report is hard to believe because the Pentagon, the UK and France made it clear that they are only providing intelligence service (intel & surveillance technology) to work with the Nigerian military..for now!
Also yesterday CNN said US intelligence made claims that the girls are not in a single location, so how come they've now been sited at Sambisa Forest? Even if US intelligence analysts were able to find the location, will they share the info with the media before the girls are rescued? So officially there are no foreign troops in Nigeria for now, except the foreign government is lying to the media about the kind of help they are providing and really sending troops.
CODED-ish News: NYSC Members Will Henceforth Collect Their Mobilisation Call-up Letters Online
will henceforth collect their mobilisation call-up letters for orientation online.
The exercise is aimed at alleviating prospective corps’ members from traveling from their states of domicile after graduation to their schools in order to collect the call-up letters.
Director-Genera l, DG, of the NYSC, Brig.-Gen. Johnson Olawumi, gave the hint yesterday, during the pre-mobilisation seminar in preparation for 2014 Batch B in Enugu.
Oluwumi said: “It is for automation for mobilisation process for NYSC. The mobilisation process will be done through automation that a graduate from a school in Sokoto, for example, would not have to go to Sokoto to collect his call-up letter. All that will be done online.”
He also said that the agency was widening its scope of primary assignment from the four key
areas of posting corps members to accommodate other sectors so as to reduce the rate of rejection of corps members.
He listed the new areas to include the banking sector, Oil and Gas, Telecommunication, among
others. Oluwumi stated that because of insecurity in some states of the North- East where there is emergency rule, the NYSC does not post corps members to states, except on demand.
The workshop tagged, “Consolidating Effective Strategies for a Credible Mobilisation process”, is expected to provide a platform for interfacing between NYSC and corps producing institutions geared towards re-engineering the scheme for optimum operations.
Addressing the participants, Gen. Olawumi said, "The management will leave no stone unturned to ensure that the vast human resources at the disposal of the scheme is appropriately deployed to all areas of need within the state.
BREAKING NEWS: American Marines Locate Abducted Girls In Sambisa Forest
The girls who were abducted on April 14, were part of the 250 students boarded at the school for the West African School Certificate, WASC/ Senior Secondary School Certificate, SSSC, examinations, triggering world-wide condemnations.
This was even as more US military officials arrived Nigeria yesterday to join local officials in the search for nearly 300 school girls taken captives by the Islamist extremist group, Boko Haram, the US Secretary of State John Kerry, and the defence department, Pentagon, said.
The UK team had earlier arrived in Abuja to support Nigerian government in its response to the abduction of over 200 school girls.
The arrival of the foreign troops is coming on the heels of the appeal yesterday by the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar for Nigerians to unite and fight the insurgents to achieve success.
The abduction of the school girls on April 14 in a remote community in Borno State, one of the most shocking terrorist acts by Boko Haram yet, has drawn widespread anger around the world with calls for a swift action.
President Goodluck Jonathan said Thursday that the kidnapping will be “the beginning of end” of Boko Haram.
US President Obama has said he hopes the abduction by Boko Haram will galvanize the international community to act against the brutal group that has directed much of its cruelty on civilians and the innocent.
This week, more than 100 people were killed in a busy market by militants suspected to be from the group. The attack occurred in Gamboru Ngala, Borno State, near the Nigerian border with Cameroun.
Besides the United States, Britain, France and China have also offered to help rescue the stolen girls. Obama said the team sent to Nigeria comprised personnel from military, law enforcement and other agencies.
France said it will station 3,000 troops in Nigeria’s neighbouring countries to help fight militants in the Sahel region.
British satellites and advanced tracking capabilities also will be used, and China has promised to provide any intelligence gathered by its satellite network.
Meanwhile in a statement yesterday, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesperson said, “a team of UK experts who will advise and support the Nigerian authorities in its response to the abduction of over 200 school girls touched down in Abuja, Nigeria this morning”.
The team is drawn from across government, including DfID, FCO and the MoD, and will work with the Nigerian authorities leading on the abductions and terrorism in Nigeria. The team will be considering not just the recent incidents but also longer-term counter-terrorism solutions to prevent such attacks in the future and defeat Boko Haram.
The team will be working closely with their US counterparts and others to coordinate efforts.

When asked, maybe his relocation would discourage his young followers, he said:"I have been diagnosed with hypertension, so I should stay here and die because I want to impress people? It isn't about people anymore.
It is now about me and my health. I have proven that certain things can be done in this country but you have to use blood and sweat. All the projects I have done, I have had to use these two.
For me to achieve this, whoever is ready to use blood and sweat too might be able to achieve same feat. But we don't have the same strength. Right now I am overwhelmed in a way and I can function from anywhere.
I can go to Hollywood and be lecturing African cinema or go to Gambia and be making film or move to Ghana. I love this country which is why I am still here.
I discourage people form traveling abroad but health is wealth. I think it is important that I am in the right frame of mind for health reasons" he said.

#CODED-ish News::Sodom And Gomorrah In Lagos Where Women Dance Naked
In some cases the girls engage in anal sex in the open with these clients who are mostly men in their 30s and 40s, including expatriates.
Investigation reveals that no fewer than two of every 10 hotels in Lagos State contracts strippers to dance naked before their customers full-time and sometimes on part-time basis and the most notorious areas known for this practice are Ikeja, Victoria Island, Apapa, Lekki-Ajah and Ajao Estate.
Allen Avenue in Ikeja has become the the Sodom and Gomorrah of Nigeria where sex, drugs and money are the business of the night as hundreds of girls besiege the hotels and pubs in the area to 'catch fun' especially at weekends.
Every Saturday night, between 9.00 pm and midnight along Allen Avenue opposite Sweet Sensation eatery bus-stop, it is another face of debauchery as men and women line up in front of a prominent hotel that has neon light sign indicator to the entrance of the nude club.
In Ire-Akari area of Isolo, exclusive hotels which harbour strip clubs compete with churches for attention.
Entrance fee to many of the strip clubs on Allen Avenue costs N2000 and a customer is expected to buy drinks, which are equally expensive. The cheapest drink in the nude club is N1000, whether it is beer or energy drink, while the wine goes for as much as N10,000.
Inside the building, the sex hawkers in their bikinis and provocative attires swarm like bees at the sight of any man, beaming with welcome smiles, all in an effort to get attention. As the music begins to blare, one can see the girls giggling and swaying to the tunes. The strippers take turns to entertain the guests. There is no dull moment in the clubs as girls with keep moving in and out of their inner chamber to reinforce their strategies to seduce men for sex.
Some of the men who get aroused move behind the centre stage and engage in sexual acts with the girls for a fee usually between N1,000 and N5,000.
The scenes at the night clubs are bizarre and reprehensible.

A brave mother, Mrs Priscilla Ekpenyong, on Friday damned the consequences by clinging to a moving vehicle in order to rescue her nine-month-old child, Emmanuella, from the hands of fleeing abductors.
The abductors had pushed the 23-year-old woman out of the moving vehicle, but she held on to her daughter and was dragged on the tarred road for some distance before the kidnapping was aborted by security operatives.
The incident happened by the Eburutu Army Barracks along the busy Murtala Mohammed Highway in Calabar, the Cross River State capital.
Narrating her ordeal at the Police Clinic in Calabar, where she and her daughter received medical attention from bruises sustained during the incident, Priscilla said she boarded the taxi, a Volkswagen Jetta, at the Pyramid Hotel Bus Stop along the highway with another unidentified woman who was carrying a male child.
She said shortly afterwards, the taxi stopped to pick two men, who on entering the vehicle demanded the babies in the vehicle.
Priscilla said, “I entered a taxi at Pyramid Hotel Bus Stop on a journey to my village, Idoma, in the Biase Local Government Area. Another lady was also in the vehicle with her son, but when we got to the Army Barracks junction, two men joined us.We thought they were passengers, but as soon as they got in, they started dragging our babies with us.
“I was sitting in the front with the driver, while the other woman was sitting at the
back with her baby too. The two men sat at the back and while one of them was dragging the other woman’s baby (a boy), the other man was also dragging my daughter.
“The luck I had was that I strapped my baby in a tummy-carrier and the man struggled to remove the baby inside the carrier. He succeeded in removing my baby’s hand from the carrier and she started crying. He almost pulled my baby’s hand off, so I shouted for help.
“He then pushed me out of the vehicle, but I held on to my baby. The vehicle dragged me on the road from the Army Barracks junction to Sampet Filling Station, a distance of about 500 metres, before some security agents intervened. They caught the man who was trying to snatch my baby and took him to the Federal Housing Police Station. I don’t know where the others weothThe state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Hogan Bassey, said the taxi driver and other accomplices escaped, while a suspect, Victor Edem-Bassey, was arrested and was being detained at the headquarters of the Cross River State Police Command in Calabar.
Edem-Bassey told PUNCH Metro that the harsh economic realities forced him into stealing children.
Edem-Bassey (30) from the Akpabuyo Local Government Area of the
state,said he was introduced to the business by a friend, named Essien.
It was gathered that Edem-Bassey and his fleeing accomplices pretended to be passengers while another co-conspirator posed as a commercial driver.
Edem-Bassey said they were to take the stolen children to one Albertino who was introduced to him by Essien around the Eight-Miles area of the the Calabar metropolis.
The suspect, who claimed he had a 13-year-old son, said he was a taxi driver, but lost his job after he fell sick.
He said, “I fell sick and the owner of the car I was driving collected it from me. After he collected it, there was no money to survive. Essien came to me and told me about this business. He said he would take me to his boss who would help me.
“He then introduced me to a man called Albertino, who said he would solve all my problems if I bring babies to him. He did not say he would pay me anything but he promised to solve all my problems. I met him in a joint at Eight Miles, but I don’t know where he lives. He was driving a jeep. I met him at the Old Market Road. He told me to bring the babies to him.”
It was gathered that the police had arrested Essien, and was being detained at the command headquarters.
The PPRO said the arrest would aid the police in unravelling the mystery of child stealing in the state, adding that it was obvious that the suspects were kingpins.
Calabar had in recent weeks been under the menace of kid abductors. The children that had been snatched had yet to be found.

#CODED-ish News:: If I Dare Go Close, Boko Haram Will Just Kill Me ––Jonathan
President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday during a live Presidential Media Chat monitored by #CODED-ish gave an hint into his reason for not visiting his country men and women, people who voted for him to be their leader and President. Apparently, Mr President is afraid and it appears he doesn’t have trust in the ability of the soldiers that his own government is equipping to protect him any time and anywhere. How sad!
“If I should go close to Boko Haram territory, they will kill me,” these are the words of President Jonathan.
On the leadership structure of the dreaded Boko Haram and how to dialogue with the group to restore peace in Nigeria, President Jonathan said: “Boko Haram does not have a leader, no one has claimed to be the leader of Boko Haram.”

#CODED-ish News::CAN Reveals A 'List' With 178 Names Of Abducted GGSS Chibok Female Students
Evangelist Matthew Owojaiye of the Old Time Revival Hour Church in Kaduna has published the list of 178 abducted students, out of them 163 Christian girls and only 15 Muslim girls.
The names were given as an attachment to his statement titled "Abomination! Abomination!! Christian girls abducted in Chibok, Borno state".
The author of the statement, who is the immediate-past chairman of Northern States Christian and Elders Forum (NOCSEF), an affiliate of CAN, did not name his source, so it was not possible to authenticate it. What also brought confusion is the incomplete number of missing students, if we recall previous statements from both the parents and the government, which put the number of abducted girls from 234 to 276.
"Daughters of Zion taken captive, to be treated as slaves and sold into marriage to unclean people. Abomination has been committed," Owojaiye said in the statement.
He further warned that "ordinary" military approach may be unable to solve the problem of securing their return, but that "intensive agonizing" prayer will.
On the subject of post-recovery, he demanded that the Federal Government, whose duty was to protect the innocent girls, should pay N50million in trauma compensation to each girl.
In addition, he demanded preparation to take each girl to foreign universities on government scholarship by September 2014, and the transfer of the SS1 and SS2 girls in the school to schools of their choice, at the expense of the government.
"Chibok Local Government is 90% Christians. Majority of the girls abducted are Christian! Why did Boko Haram visit Chibok Local Government? Why didn't they visit so many other Local Government Girls Secondary Schools in Borno State?" the author of the statement asked.
The names of the Christians among the abducted girls, according to CAN, are:
