Boko Haram Amnesty Committee Lied-Kabir Sokoto, Says I Never Met Them



Boko Haram Amnesty Committee Lied-Kabir Sokoto, Says I Never Met ThemKabir Sokoto, the detained Boko Haram kingpin and alleged Madala Church Bomber, has accused the Federal Government ‘s Presidential Committee on Dialogue and Peaceful Resolution of Security Challenges in the North, of lying over claims that the committee met with him.
Chairman of the committee and Minister for Special Duties, Mr. Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, had recently claimed that he led the 25 members of the committee to a meeting with Sokoto at the Kuje Prison to discuss confidence-building measure between the committee and members of Boko Haram.
But Sokoto through his lawyer, Mr. Sheriff Okoh said the claims by the committee are all lies.
According to him, “I think the press is supposed to pick information, investigate such information before making it available to the public. But I think what they have been doing in this regard is to sit down and wait for people to feed them with lies. For instance our client has pleaded not guilty in this matter and we are doing our best to see how it is established that he is not guilty, as he has pleaded.
“For those of you that were in court, it is clear that our client never masterminded the Madalla bomb blast. They have told the whole world that they have visited Kabiru Sokoto at Kuje prison.
“In fact that he was in the prison together with more than 40 other people who were under arrest or detention and that they have discussed.
“Sincerely, Kabiru Sokoto, we have asked him and he has confirmed again and again that no member of the amnesty committee, or anybody who is their privy or agent visited him with respect to the issue of amnesty or otherwise.
“That means that these honourable members of the Nigerian society have been brandishing lies about a process that they have on their own initiated and agreed to carry on.
“This is very wrong because we expect that they will be honourable men and state exactly, things that have taken place and what they have experienced, and not lying to Nigerians.
“Now, most fundamentally, we want to state categorically that our client has said he is not guilty. We will wait for the trial to be concluded then we will go ahead and follow everything up accordingly. But for now we believe in the integrity of the Judge, we believe in the integrity of the court and we believe in the sanctity of our democracy,” he added.

How My Daughter Seduced Me To Have Sex With Her – John Awah

“I became attracted to my daughter, when I saw her. And I told her I wanted to show her true love… Actually, she was the person that started it by always changing her cloths in front of me and this attracted me” – Says John Awah, who claimed that the multiple rounds of sex he had with his daughter was ‘consensual’ It sounds bizarre, untrue, and squeamish, but it’s the whole truth. Yes, it actually took place in Nigeria, Lagos, a city where everything seems possible. When Chinyere, 18, decided to leave her mother in Abia State and pay her father, John Awah, a visit in Lagos, she must have been longing for a tender loving care, which fathers give their children. But she surely did not bargain for what she eventually ended up with – steamy sex sessions with her father. Upon her arrival, her father was shocked to his bone marrow that his daughter who left him when she was a year old, had suddenly grown to a full girl, and he suddenly fell in love with her. Awah said: “I became attracted ...
