Nigerian Government has launched an investigation to determine the veracity of a report making the rounds that a close associate of Chad’s president, Idriss Déby is aiding Boko Haram, sources in the military say.
A certain Mr Mahamat Bichara Gnoti,was reportedly apprehended at the Chad-Sudan border with missiles,
Saharareporters claim he purchased the missiles from the Sudanese army quoting Cameroonian investigative journalist, Bisong Etahoben, who via his Twitter, alleges that Mr Gnoti said that President Idriss Déby gave him “the funds to purchase the weapons, waved a presidential pass issued to him by Mr Deby’s office in order to get past border guards, but was stopped and searched by the guards who found the deadly weapons on him.”
The news portal further alleged that with the arrest, it was clear that the Chadian leader was one of those sponsoring insurgency in Nigeria, claiming that Mr Déby had similarly swindled the Nigerian government “out of millions of dollars in Nigeria’s failed attempt to negotiate the release of some 200 high school girls abducted by Boko Haram.”
A visit to the twitter handle of Mr Bisong Etahoben @chiefBisongEtace1, confirmed the story, noting that Mr Gnoti was actually arrested on November 17.
the issue is that we have a go slow president who wait for everything to rotten before asking whether to act or act because he has a particular self interest
