> Many have reached out to me wanting to know the circumstances of the ticket that I received and my subsequent call to the Edmonton Police Service Chief, Dale McFee. I have issued a formal statement to the media. The premier has also issued a statement on his planned course of action. 

On the morning of March 10, I was scheduled to meet with the media at the Rotunda of the Legislature before Question Period to address their questions and speak to matters concerning the Lethbridge Police Service.

Minutes after leaving my home on my way to the Legislature, I was pulled over by an officer of the Edmonton Police Service.

The officer indicated that he had observed me driving while distracted, alleging that I was on my phone. I disagreed, stating that I was not on my phone, as it was in an inside pocket. To be absolutely clear my phone was inside the left hand side pocket of my suit and I was wearing a winter jacket. I identified myself and drove away. 

Later, I spoke to Chief McFee to share the experience I have just had, and specifically for two reasons. 

First, due to the timing of the incident, I wanted to ensure that I was not being unlawfully surveilled following the Lethbridge Police Service controversy, and in particular given the fact that I was on my way to Legislature on a day that I was meeting with the media to address and answer questions around calls for action to deal with the ongoing issues at the Lethbridge Police Service. 

Second, I also raised concerns around profiling of racial minorities that was in the media at the time and wanted the hear about my own experience. As Minister, these are concerns that were constantly being brought to my attention. The reason why I was proceeding in the Legislature with Bill 63 to ban carding which I tabled for first reading on April 7, 2021. I wanted to share this personal experience and encounter with the Chief of Police. 

Chief McFee assured me that that was most definitely not the case, and I accepted him at his word.

I want to be abundantly clear, at no point did I request that the ticket be rescinded. I can assure that in my life I would never do any such thing. 

That said, with hindsight now I can see how that may be perceived. There is a saying that perception is everything in politics, and I regret raising the issue at all with Chief McFee.

I paid the ticket fully and promptly. In my role as the Justice Minister and Solicitor General, I have worked diligently to ensure we build a province in which all of us - no matter the circumstances of our birth, economic, religious, social or cultural background can feel respected and welcomed. That’s the definition of my own life and I will continue as long as I have the opportunity and privilege to do so. 

Finally, I have always defended the men and women who put on the uniform to serve. I have the utmost respect for them, and for the invaluable, often thankless role they perform.

With all these in mind, I am one that always hold myself accountable for my actions. I respect the Premier's direction for me to take a temporary leave of absence pending the outcome of the independent investigation.

Former governor of Abia State and Chief Whip of the Senate Senator Orji Uzor Kalu said on Wednesday that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) zoning the presidency to the South East in 2023 was overdue.

Senator Kalu stated this when he addressed National Assembly correspondents in Abuja.

While fielding questions from newsmen, Kalu revealed why he visited President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday night. He revealed that the President’s body language supports a power shift to the South East in 2023.

He said: “I don’t believe in an Igbo presidency. I believe in a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction. It is overdue. I believe that we should produce the next President and it is going to happen. I don’t need to push. I have to push along with the other regions.

Speaking further, he said: “This is not the first time that I’ll go and see the President. The Presidency is a place where people go in the afternoon. I went in the night to avoid the media.

“I go there regularly. It’s a family affair and I went there to discuss national issues and issues of security and wellbeing of our country and issue of the Electoral Act. The discussion was very fruitful and it was held at night.

“I told you before that when the party zones it officially to the South, I’ll contest. I told you the only two zones that have not tasted the presidency are the South East and the North East. Once they zone it to any of them, I have the capacity and the capability. I will roll and I will rock like a hurricane.

“People are pushing, but they are not serious. A serious-minded person will like to be fair to Nigeria, fair to society and fair to the atmosphere because the party is not owned by me or you the media. This party is owned by Nigerians and APC members.

“It is only APC that can decide that at the forthcoming convention where the Presidential ticket will be zoned to. If they zone it to the South East, I have everything it takes to make a good president.”

Speaking at the forthcoming convention of APC, Kalu said: “I am expecting a very good convention and a very good atmosphere. We are going to make Nigerians proud after the convention.”

South East Presidency Overdue – Orji Kalu

Presidential aspirant for the 2023 election, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said he will pay the WAEC fees of every child in the country.

According to him, he will make this a mandate to make sure no child is left behind in their education.

In a video making rounds, he stated that the growth of the country is paramount. Tinubu who serves as the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), also called for peace to prevail in Nigeria.

According to him, without peace and stability, banditry, violence, lawlessness transpires which affect most women.

He charged all and sundry to support the APC in other to rebuild the nation.

"Your children's West African Examination (WAEC) fee is paid by us so that no one, no matter how small is left behind. 

The symbol of our party is growth, the symbol of my party is breaking the shackle of poverty, you break the shackle of poverty, you break the shackle of ignorance. You grow the party and the shackle of learning.

Election 2023: All WAEC Fees Will Be Paid When I Become President

> Some Nigerians on social media have bashed Bola Ahmed Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), after he was seen in a video promising to pay the West African Examination Council (WAEC) fees of Nigerian students.

Tinubu, who last week revealed his ambition to run for president in the 2023 election, said his party will crush poverty and make lives easier for Nigerians.

However, his promise has sparked outrage among Nigerians who aired their opinion Wednesday on Facebook.

“In this century a Presidential aspirant talking of paying WAEC fees. Affliction will not rise again in Nigeria,” Olamobisi Robert Akinlolu said.

“That’s not the issue now. Insecurities, inflation and nepotism are more important than WAEC fees sir.

“Some parents don’t even have children in secondary school. No water in most places. May the Lord please help Nigeria to get the right leaders,” Dele Erastus Akinmeyi said.

“Scam. Dem don come again with empty promises. Fulfil d ones una promise us since 2015 first. No conscience in this Nigeria again,” Henry Chidozie Celestine said.

“This man doesn’t know that APC has exhausted Lying bundles fa! There is nothing he is going to say that would be taken seriously.

“Imagine the man that gave us a man that put us in this kind of situation wants to come and finish us,” Onah Chekzy said.

“Don’t be deceived, this is how APC in 2015 promised, you can see what is happening today, killing of human beings, fuel increase, high cost of all food items, high cost of electricity bills, no good road, don’t allow APC to come back, the nation’s debt is on the increase daily.

“What will APC offer ?” Zeal Ndubuisi queried.

“Another dead body as our next president, it can’t happen,” Danladi Musa said.

Tinubu, speaking about his ambition, had described it as a lifelong aspiration, dismissing the belief that a kingmaker cannot be king.

2023: South East Presidency Overdue – Orji Kalu

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says evil and destructive forces are after the soul of northern Nigeria. 

“Even though the soul of the North, and of Nigeria by extension, is being contested by some of the most destructive and evil forces in contemporary history, the Buhari administration is firmly resolved to resist and defeat them,” Mr Osinbajo said.

Boko Haram and ISWAP insurgents are terrorising the North to impose an Islamic state.

Mr Osinbajo, a pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, in a statement by his media aide Laolu Akande, disclosed this while speaking at the eighth Sir Ahmadu Bello Foundation Memorial Lecture on Tuesday in Kano. 

Mr Osinbajo asserted that “it is a fight we are determined to win,” claiming that “by the grace of God, all of these evil forces will be completely exterminated.” 

The North has borne the brunt of murderous attacks and mass abductions by bandits and Boko Haram. Governors from the region said their repeated efforts to win over the bandits had failed, with some urging residents to defend themselves.

Mr Osinbajo’s godfather, Bola Tinubu, called on President Muhammadu Buhari and the Nigerian Army to adopt necessary measures in eliminating bandits.

“I urge the federal government, under the able leadership of President Muhammad Buhari as the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, to use all necessary means to eliminate these people,” Mr Tinubu said on Sunday in Katsina.

Evil Forces Trying To Take Over Northern Nigeria: Osinbajo

Tundun Abiola, one of the daughters of late MKO Abiola, had an outburst on national TV on Wednesday morning after one of the supporters of Bola Tinubu's presidential aspiration made a reference to her late father during an interview.

Tundun had asked the Tinubu supporters to respond to the allegation made by a presidential aide, Babafemi Ojodu, that he has been threatened for not supporting the presidential aspirations of the National leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu.

Responding to the question, Ayodele Adewale said

''Asiwaju will never send anybody to attack anybody and if anybody has said unprintable words against Mr Ojodu, the onus lies on him to prove that that person was actually from Asiwaju Tinubu and Mr Ojodu knows that Asiwaju will never do that. Asiwaju is very forgiving, even people who have wronged him.

If you permit me, I will always refer to him because I preserve his history and I have always worked to make sure all he deserves is given back to him and that is your dad, Chief MKO Abiola.

It was on the streets of Lagos when some Airfoce officers slapped him and abused him. He was attacked by some military ratings. the Mad dog incident. Chief Abiola never raised a finger. He never even fought the military hierachy. He took it in as a leader and he forgave them''

After a short break on the show, Tundun expressed her displeasure at the guest for speaking about her father's.

''I just had this really insulting encounter with our previous guest and I am furious. My father is not the one running for President. That was in 1993. Why was he raised randomly?

That was completely out of order. I am completely furious. I can't even contain myself right now.

I would defend my father. In recent times, I have been nauseated by the kind of revisionist history I have been subjected to. Everybody betrays that man constantly till today. How many times can you kill a man? What does he have to do with what we are discussing today? If their principal has not done enough to stand on his own two feet, that is hardly my fault or his fault. Invoking this man....

What on earth was that nonsense?

Completely name-dropping. My feet are sore from people dropping my father's name constantly. Can you just stand on your own two feet if at all you have two feet to stand on''

Oxford Lerner's dictionary defines propaganda as ideas or statements that may be false or exaggerated and that are used in order to gain support for a political leader. Here we seek to explain how the Abuja Rice Pyramids fit in. (1) The one million bags of rice claimed to be in the pyramids may not feed the estimated twenty one million people in Lagos state for one week. The question for the federal government and especially Mr Emefiele is where they are going to get their extra quantity for export? (2) The CBN governor said that their rice intervention loans has hit one trillion naira but didn't say how much of that loan that has been paid back. And if what the assistant president of the rice farmers association said on Arise tv on 19/1/22 is to be relied on then the estimated value of the one million bags of rice is what may have been paid back for a percentage of the loans. This may be somewhere about twenty four billion naira. So CBN will still explain where nine hundred and seventy six billion naira is sitting in various farms. We are aware that there could be other harvests and pyramids and the question is where are they? Do we have stock in the various silos located around the country and can they be opened for public examination? (3) What was the cost of putting up and dismantling the pyramids? Who awarded the contract and to whom? This is very important because putting up pyramids of one million bags of rice and dismantling same just for a ceremony of thirty minutes seems unbecoming for a country that has probably over eighty percent of it's population behind poverty line. The wastage on this public show may have made a difference in the lives of at least ten thousand citizens. The final question here is why is the CBN directly on this project? Where are the relevant ministries and departments. Is it all about flattery and sycophancy? Maybe somebody needs to consult the Bible for some instructions on what such tendencies bring upon humans and their cities.

Abuja Rice Pyramids: Political Or Economic Propaganda.

The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has given reasons why the Federal Government will continue to rely on external loans to address the country’s infrastructural deficit.

Lawan, who addressed Senators in his welcome address on the first plenary session of the year on Tuesday at the National Assembly Complex, Abuja, expressed concerns that the funding of the 2022 Budget was predicated on significant borrowing.

“Our country is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. We have to construct and provide infrastructure, in all parts of our country because infrastructure is needed for our nation to develop.

“However, we do not generate enough revenues to fund the provision of such infrastructure. Until more revenues are generated, the country has to borrow and also resort to other sources of funding our infrastructural development. But we cannot continue to borrow endlessly.

“It is imperative that we need to improve on the revenue to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio. At about 8 percent Revenue to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio, our country is basically at 50 percent of what is required of the revenue to GDP of 15% for it to support any significant economic development.”

The Senate President, however, assured that the upper legislative chamber would collaborate with revenue-generating agencies in order to reduce borrowings for critical projects in the country.

“The Senate will develop a strategy of engagement with revenue-generating agencies on how to make them achieve their targets and generate more revenues in 2022.

“The Senate will ensure that we boost their revenue-generating drive with a view to reducing borrowing for the development of our much-needed infrastructure.

This is a major challenge for our development and we need to treat as such.”

Nigeria Will Continue To Rely On Foreign Loans To Develop – Senate President

Ahead of the 2023 general election, more pressure groups have stepped up lobbying for former President Goodluck Jonathan to join the presidential race.

A coalition of pressure groups, under the aegis of the National Coalition for Goodluck Jonathan (NACOJO), has concluded plans to embark on aggressive grassroots mobilisation for Jonathan across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

Addressing reporters yesterday, January 18, 2022, after an enlarged executive council meeting of the body in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, NACOJO National Convener Munene Wilson said the body would release a comprehensive timetable next week for the inauguration of its state chapters.

Wilson said the body realised that Nigeria needs a leader that is abreast with the current political and economic challenges of the country, saying Jonathan is such a leader.

He added: “The Nigerian nation must not be handed over at this critical moment to a leader that will run experiment with her political and economic challenges.

“We plead with the former President to consider Nigeria above his personal interest and yield to the popular call for him to run for the 2023 presidential election on the platform of a preferred political party.”

> The Islamic State franchise in Northeast Nigeria and Lake Chad, ISWAP, has posted a video online showing the regimented indoctrination and training of children, prepared by the group to be the next generation of fighters. 

In the 27 minutes long video shared on Tuesday, Jan. 18, children of different age groups wearing balaclavas were shown passing through a series of activities crafted for indoctrination and combat training. 

Titled “Empowerment Generation,” the video appears to focus on the terror group’s programme to model its upcoming set of fighters. This is unlike the theme of other videos such as the “Makers of Epic Battles” released in 2021, which showed the group’s attacks as well as light and heavy weapons arsenal.

In the recent video, young boys guided by instructors were shown engaging in a regimented style of activities including waking up before dawn, weapon handling training, physical fitness practice, as well as religious and indoctrination classes held in the classroom. 

The clip had sections where children were exposed to other Islamic State materials. Multiple instructors also appeared, speaking on the terror group’s training programme to model the young members into fighters and the nature of instructions. 

The children are seen being guided through martial arts and negotiating obstacle courses, in addition to weapon handling and firing positions using Ak pattern rifles. The young boys also conducted a mock assault using an abandoned building with two captives. 

The children are additionally shown executing three people, including a man in military fatigue and another man who identified himself as a soldier of the Nigerian Army abducted in Kanamma in April 2021.

Kanamma is a border community and the headquarters of Yunusari Local Government Area (LGA) in Yobe State.

The footage which included drone shots showed an environment consisting of grass vegetation, shrubs and wetland type terrain, indicating that the clip or parts of it was taken somewhere along the Komadougou-Yobe river or near Lake Chad.

Children have often appeared in videos of terror groups in the region. They have also been used in attacks. In 2021, ISWAP rival group, Boko Haram, released a video showing child soldiers undergoing religious and combat training in a camp.

Amnesty International in a 2020 report highlighted how children have been among those most impacted by the insurgency, including through repeated attacks on schools, widespread abductions, recruitment and use of child soldiers, and forced marriage of girls.

Much argument and debate is ongoing on the veracity and theocratic authencity of the offering of the first fruit. While the likes of Ananias Adeboye continues to peddle this ancient Judaist extortion racket on the people of Israel as mandatory to all his fellow moloch worshippers others who oppose this wicked racteering have failed to show why this ancient levy imposed by the Judaist has its roots in ancient moloch human sacrifices.

The Jews have always and will always worship moloch. Prophets of Israel lamented on the Judaist cult that later infested and replaced the Levi class as the authentic theocratic rulers of all of Israel . These Jews from the tribe of Judah hated God and worshiped Lucifer.

The bible is full of Israelite Prophets from Isiah warming the Jews to desist from human sacrifice. The Jews of Judah compiled the OT around 460BC in Babylon and since then have polluted the religion of Moses with Babylonian Satanism.

In the OT book of Leviticus which was never written by Moses but by Jewish rabbis in Babylon , we read of a tax levy that was imposed on the children of Israel that they should pay to avoid sacrificing their first born offspring to the Jewish god, Moloch.

The children of Israel were forced to pay the terrorizing human sacrificing Judaist cult a huge sum to avoid sacrificing their first borns to the Judaist cultists.

I will be providing biblical narratives on this long running Judaist cult of human sacrificing cannibals later on this thread.

So for those of you heathen Judaic false christians that are pushing this satanic ritual called first fruit offering , know now that it stems from the Judaic cult of Moloch worshipping judases .

A political analyst was with insinuation on live programme that Prof. Yemi Osinbajo can not be compared with Asiwaju Tinubu if given chance to rule Nigeria. 

He was of the optimistic opinion that Prof. Osinbajo is an international lawyer with high repute and he would be more intelligent that Asiwaju Tinubu to rule Nigeria.

But the truth remains that, should there be said that an accountant sent from Deloitte, the US to set up an accounting system for National Oil & Aramco in Saudi Arabia is not intellectually sound? 

Can Osinbajo stand Tinubu in Finance? 
Can he stand him in Accounting? 
Can he stand him in Management? 
What about Strategic planning? 
Can he match up to him in political dogmatism? 
Can he match up to Tinubu in understanding economic problems and solutions? 
Can he come close to Tinubu in strategic planning?

Tinubu and Osinbajo are two different specialists of different fields but a brainy specialist in economic management will be more effective than a guru in law ro rule Nigeria.

What is your own opinion?
let discuss this intelligently and void of any abuse and desecration

TINUBU VS Osinbajo: The Factual Comparism

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress party (APC) and also a presidential aspirant in the forthcoming general elections, has promised to pay the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) fees for eligible students in Nigeria when he becomes the country’s president.

According to the presidential aspirant, his aim is to make sure no one is left behind in education.

Making the promise in a viral video on Instagram, Tinubu added that the symbol on his cap represents ‘breaking the shackles of poverty’; thus he was going to do just that as president, and also break the shackles of ignorance, banditry among others in the country.

He also admitted that despite being close allies, Abacha’s military coup did not surprise him.

The late former Nigerian military ruler, General Sani Abacha, who ruled the country from 1993 until his death in 1998, deceived politicians to get into power, according to General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, popularly known as IBB, Daily Trust reports.

In an interview with Trust TV, IBB spoke on how Abacha outfoxed them and got into power.

Abacha, whom IBB described as his “very good friend”, also served as the Chief of Army Staff during the latter’s military regime from 1985 and was subsequently appointed the Minister of Defence under the same government in 1990.

IBB said, “Abacha’s government was very smart. They knew who were the most vociferous discussants about the election, about the coup, about June 12 and so on. They started talking to them and sold a dummy to them and encouraged them to get rid of the interim government; ‘when we get rid of the interim government, we will bring you back to come and take over your democracy so that a civilian government would be installed’.

Kenneth Udeh, Abuja

Chief Whip of the Senate and Former Governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has declared ahead of the 2023 general elections that though he is ready for the campaigns and capable to lead the country he is not desperate to become President.

Fielding questions from journalists at the National Assembly on Wednesday, a day after he visited President Buhari at the Presidential villa on Tuesday night, the Senate Chief Whip emphasised that the Presidential contest will be the collective decision of Nigerians and the zoning arrangement of the Political parties particularly his party the ruling All Progressive's Congress.

The former Governor however maintained that the Southeast region was overdue to Produce the next President of the country, he added that there were only two zones yet to produce the President which were the Southeast and Northeast geo Political zones.

Kalu stressed that his visit to President Buhari was a usual one adding that their relationship has spanned for years before he became President. He disclosed that their discussions were centred national issues with regards to security, electoral laws and the welfare of the country.

He said "This is not the first time I'm going to see the President. People usually go in the afternoon but I went in the night to avoid the press.
"I go there regularly.It's a family affair and I went there to discuss national issues with regards to security, well being of our country and the issue of the electoral law and the discussion was very fruitful.

When asked if he informed the President of his Presidential Ambition.

He responded "Has the party zoned the ticket to the Southeast? It's only when the party zone is officially to the South.  I have said before that there are only two zones that have not been President : the Southeast and the Northeast. Once it's zoned to the Southeast I have the capacity and the capability I will roll out my campaign and rock like a hurricane".

"It's overdue for an Igboman to become a Nigerian President, I believe the Southeast should produce the next President and it’s going to happen ''.

In a further response Kalu slammed other Presidential aspirants in his All Progressives Congress (APC) who had gone to inform President Muhammadu Buhari about their intentions saying they were not serious people.

He said those already pushing are not being fair to the feelings of Nigerians.

"They are not serious. A serious minded person will like to be fair to Nigeria, to be fair to the society and be fair to the atmosphere because this party is not owned by me or by you the press people. It is only APC people that can decide where the party ticket will go to,If they zone it to the Southeast I have all it takes to make a good President".

The Abia North Senator said that he would pursue his Presidential Ambition with other geopolitical zones of the Nation, while stressing that he will commence Nationwide consultation at the right time.

Responding to questions on the APC's forthcoming February 26th convention Kalu expressed optimism that the exercise will be raucous free saying that the outcome will make Nigerians proud.

When asked about President Buhari's body language to the contentious electoral act and 2023 Kalu responded saying "He's body language is where other Nigerians are . His body language is for Nigeria and Nigerians."

Recall that Kalu's declaration came barely 24 hours after former Governor of Lagos State and  National Leader of APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu met with President Buhari to express his interest in the top job. The Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi had also met with Buhari to declare his ambition to take over from him in 2023.

Among all the vaccines I have known in my life (diphtheria, tetanus,measles, rubella, chickenpox,hepatitis, meningitis and tuberculosis), I want to also add flu and pneumonia. I have never seen a vaccine that forced me to wear a mask and maintain my social distance, even when you are fully vaccinated. I had never heard of a vaccine that spreads the virus even after vaccination. I had
never heard of rewards, discounts, incentives to get vaccinated. I never saw discrimination for those who didn't. If you haven't been vaccinated no one has tried to make you feel like a bad person. I have never seen a vaccine that threatens the relationship between family, colleagues and friends. I have never seen a vaccine used to threaten livelihoods, work or
school. I have never seen a vaccine that would allow a 12-year-old to override parental consent. After all the vaccines I listed above, I have never seen a vaccine like this one, which discriminates, divides and judges society as it is. And as the social fabric tightens… It's a powerful vaccine! It does all these things except IMMUNIZATION. If we still need a booster dose after we are fully vaccinated, and we still need to get a negative test after we are fully vaccinated, and we still need to wear a mask after we are fully vaccinated, and still be hospitalized after we have been fully vaccinated, it will likely come to “It's time for us to admit that we've been completely deceived

Social Subjugation Under Global Homo

Bandits have sacked no fewer than nine villages in Kaduna State, abducting scores of residents during the attack.

This comes as the Kaduna State government announced the killing of some bandits and the rescue of kidnapped victims.

SaharaReporters learnt from residents of Birnin Gwari that besides sacking nine villages, bandits abducted unspecified numbers of people along the Kaduna-Birnin Gwari way.

A titleholder in Birnin Gwari, Zubairu Abdurra'uf Idris, informed that Kungin Dan-Bauchi, Kimbi, Katagagi, Damari and Shirya, were among the villages sacked within one week.

He said, “How these terrorists invaded Waro, Rema, Unguwar Shehu and Sabon Gida, as well as Dagara communities where three women and unspecified numbers of men were abducted, remains terrifying.”

Security experts believe that despite declaring bandits as terrorists, the Nigerian government was not doing enough to dislodge them.

Dr. Yahuza Ahmed Getso said, “The attack on Birnin Gwari yesterday confirms that Nigerian security operatives lack the equipment to confront the bandits, especially along the Birnin Gwari highway."

It is widely believed that the aerial bombardment of terrorists' hideouts in bushes across the Northwest region must be done simultaneously to end banditry in Nigeria.

However, despite continued havoc on communities by bandits in parts of Kaduna State, the state government through its Commissioner of Internal Security Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, has insisted that operatives were winning the war against terrorism.

Bandits Sack Nine Villages In Kaduna, Abduct Many Residents

Some of the tax receipts issued by the Islamic State-backed faction of Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), to farmers and herdsman in the North-East states have been obtained by SaharaReporters.

The receipts were issued to residents of some farming communities in Borno State under the control of the terror group after collection of levies and taxes from them.

SaharaReporters had in several reports in 2021 reported how the insurgents had been taxing residents of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe State.

Sources said failure of the residents to comply with the directive attracts the death penalty.

SaharaReporters also reported how ISWAP established two Wilaya’s (Caliphates) at Lake Chad and Sambisa forest to sustain its war against countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.

According to sources, the terrorist group lifted the ban imposed on fishing and farming activities in the Lake Chad area, three years after chasing people out of for allegedly spying for Nigerian troops.

It, nevertheless, imposed new taxes and levies in the areas controlled by ISWAP-Boko Haram, to regulate trades and agricultural activities.

Several fishermen, farmers and merchants had returned to the Lake-Chad area to engage in socio-economic activities, under the arrangement of the new ISWAP-Boko Haram leadership.

Since the death of JAS leader, Abubakar Shekau, ISWAP has been consolidating its grip in locations around Lake Chad.

Just recently, it appointed Wali Sani Shuwaram, a 45-year-old as the new Leader (Wali) of ISWAP in Lake Chad.

The sect’s membership has swollen with the defection of hundreds of Boko Haram fighters under Shekau.

The Nigerian Army has repeatedly claimed that insurgency had been largely defeated and the military frequently underplays any losses.

The terror group has caused over 100,000 deaths and displaced millions of individuals mainly in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states
