Niger extradites alleged Boko Haram fighter to Senegal
[TVCNEWS.TV] Niger on Tuesday extradited to Senegal... a nation of about 14 million on the west coast of Africa bordering Mauretania to the north, Mali to the east, and a pair of Guineas to the south, one of them Bissau. It is 90 percent Mohammedan and has more than 80 political parties. Its primary purpose seems to be absorbing refugees... a radical Islamist with alleged links to the Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... hard boys. Makhtar Diokhané arrived at the Dakar airport escorted by Niger’s elite security team. The Senegalese authorities had requested Niamey to extradite the terror suspect upon arrest in Niger in November 2015. Security sources At the time of his arrest last year, Niger security sources said Diokhoné was planning to cross into Nigeria to reunite with the Boko Haram terror group with huge sums of money, including fake currencies. Upon arrival at the Dakar international airport, Diokhané was handed over to the Senegalese authorities and whisked away to the barracks near the city centre. Shortly before Diokhané beat feet from Senegal last year, security sources alleged that they had gathered enough evidence linking him to the Boko Haram Islamists. His wife Following his arrest in Niger, the Senegalese anti-terrorism agents seized other suspects, including his wife. Diokhané’s wife is alleged to be the spiritual guide of the radical Dahira, an Islamic prayer group, and she allegedly received huge sums of money from an undisclosed source to fund similar other groups. Found guilty Among those locked away Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! was the Imam Alioune Badara Ndao of Kaolack, about 200km from Dakar. He could face life jail if found guilty, judiciary sources said. Posted by: Fred 2016-05-05 |
