The National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.) on Thursday said contrary to the claims by some individuals, the Federal Government was not behind last week’s attack on the convoy of a former military leader, Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd).

He said as far back as February, leader of the Boko Haram sect, Shekau, had threatened Buhari and some others, calling them infidels that must be dealt with.

Dasuki spoke while fielding questions from State House correspondents after the Council of State meeting during which the issue of the attack on Buhari came up for discussion.

He said, “We said something about the attack on Buhari and Sheik Dahiru Bauchi.

“There was a threat as far back as February this year issued by Shekau calling them infidels by names and positions saying that they were in trouble and they were going to see.

“Well, the government was not responsible, and if you say that the government was responsible in the case of General Buhari, why don’t you say the same in the case of Sheik Dahiru Bauchi?

“We said it not because we had facts but because it is what sells the paper. That is the most unfortunate thing. And we want to say that it was not only General Buhari, there were others mentioned too.”

On the fears that the Boko Haram sect might have started turning the schoolgirls abducted from Chibok, Borno State to female suicide bombers, Dasuki said the government did not have control over the girls when still in captivity.

He however said when they are released, government would put in place a reorientation programme for them before they would reunite with their parents.

He said, “What really can anybody do? The Chibok girls who are in captivity are not under Federal Government’s control.

“The only thing we do is to try and address those who are outside. There is already a programme we will put them through if they are released today to make sure that if there is any indoctrination, we will try and reduce the intensity.

“That is all we can do before they go back to normal life. We can’t do anything to stop them from being indoctrinated.

“The girls who are doing these things are not by any means indoctrinated. That is not what we have as at now.”

There was a threat as far back as February this
year issued by Shekau calling them infidels by
names and positions saying that they were in
trouble and they were going to see.

Sambo Dasuki playing a fast one. Since Dasuki became the NSA,he has never said anything about Boko haram insurgence unlike his predeccesor who outrightly blamed PDP for the boko haram menace. Now,he is telling us that Shekau threatened to kill Buhari. I know someone was going to bank on Shekau's statement for the attempted assasination of Buhari.

...Waiting for Shekau the terrorist to claim responsibilty on the attempted assasination of Buhari....

500GPA, is that you?

May this statement not be another lie.

Common sense should tell anyone that GEJ has more to loose from Buhari's death.
