Ndume said in the interview that it had become certain that the Boko Haram sect that abducted Sharibu and over 100 other girls from their school was waging a psychological war to get more money from the government.

The representative of Borno South Senatorial District, Ali Ndume, has told Saturday PUNCH that dreaded sect, Boko Haram, is demanding for ransom to free the only remaining Dapchi, Yobe State schoolgirl with them, Leah Sharibu.

Ndume said in the interview that it had become certain that the Boko Haram sect that abducted Sharibu and over 100 other girls from their school was waging a psychological war to get more money from the government.

He told Saturday PUNCH: “The stronger ones who still have the audacity to carry out major attacks are those from Mohammed Nuru’s Boko Haram faction that is operating from the fringes, which is the group that we are suspecting got money from the negotiation for the release of the Dapchi girls.

“Now they are psychologically pressing for more money through propaganda by using Leah Sharibu.
“Yes, this is true because they must get money to carry out their operations, and the only source of money is the ransom paid to them.
“But then, the government is in a tight situation ".

Ndume, who admitted that the insurgency had increased after the Dapchi girls were released, noted that the military had also intensified efforts to crush the insurgents.

He said: “I don’t know exactly what is happening.
“The truth of the matter is that there is a resurface or escalation of intermittent attacks by the insurgents, over which I have raised the alarm and to which I have called the attention of the authorities.

“But I am happy with the response of the Nigerian Army, particularly after the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, ordered and relocated the operational headquarters of the Army to Gozombali in Guzama Local Government Area.
“That is very commendable.

“I am hoping that at the same time they will also increase and intensify the fight against insurgency in other black spots in the Sambisa Forest and the Mandara Mountains in Gworza Local Government Area.”

If dis country was sane, d likes of Ndume shld b somewhere in detention providing all info he has on BH and their activities. But d govt and it's Military seems content in sitting back and allowing it rage on becos it's now a money spinner for dem

The innocent girl does not deserve all the trauma. Since you can't defeat BH, pay and free the poor girl abeg.

Ransom kill you there,I don't blame,its the same random Buhari has been paying them. They now think it's their right

Ali Ndume knows this simply because he is part and parcel of the BH group.

Yes. The funding channel of APC.

Ndume needs some campaign funds obviously, or he needs to refill his account.

He has turned the FG to an office (apologies to guymen).


Aider, abetter and chief sponsor.


Enjoy my siggy

Ndume need campaign funds

As a member u will definitely know what they need !

I knew that that was what the plan was for Buhari to use this as a guise to give Boko haram another 12 million dollars as ransom with which to buy more weapons

After all the rape she has endured by psychopath.

Do u think we ever for once believed that Boko Haram have plan to ever release her.

U kill her or not, that is between Boko Haram and God, our own is to continue requesting that you release her.

Did you see her getting raped ? for all we know they do not have Lea or (God forbid she's dead )

But for that idiot to say ransom is their only source of income is a huge farce, some bigwigs in Nigerian Politics nko ? their alliance with ISIL nko and most importantly their raids on towns and army bases means if they recover anything , they'd be selling it


I hope Boko haram gets eliminated pretty soon

It's funny how the pressure / bargaining chip is Leah , what happened to the remaining chibok girls ?

Little wonder the highest number of governorship aspirants are from that region. Those who know, know.

Boko Haram has turned out to one of the richest terrorist group no thanks to this APC led government

You can imagine. How could Ndume who represents certain area in Borno know what Boko Haram need and will not address it for the sake of the innocent girl. Small time Buhari will accept 45m contribution from the faceless Nigerians and will not listen to the plight of the parents of the kidnapped girl. No matter when, all of you will never escape the nemesis.

Sent Ali Ndume said got money to release the first tranche of Dapchi girls and now they want more money but govt kept lying that they didn't spend money for their release.

No source?

Like Oliver Twist, boko haram need more billions of euros no thanks to buhari.
Hope Nigerians are now seeing why GEJ refused to pay ransom for Chibok girls. If you cave in to terrorist demands, they will continue to ask for more!

God save Leah Sharibu.

CROWNWEALTH019:
Ndume need campaign funds

Buhari needs campaign funds too

The government should pay whatever they ask to Ransome the poor girl's life.

Every second she spends in that den is a lifetime of PTSD she'll have to work through.
