Stephen Davies an international acclaimed negotiator in an interview granted a UK news network, Channel 4, has come out to accuse the politicians in the opposition party of hindering the release of the Chibok girls abducted by Boko Haram in April.
He told the news network, “The Nigerian opposition politicians sponsoring Boko Haram have to be stopped if hundreds of local girls are to be saved.”
The credibility of the platform given to Davis was an indication that international support for his allegations is rapidly gaining acceptance. He claimed to have been frustrated by a number of unsuccessful attempts to secure the abducted girls’ release, and alleged that he saw an undeniable connection between the Chibok girls’ fate and cutting off the funding that is Boko Haram’s lifeblood.
In particular, he emphasized the role some “senior politicians of a major opposition party are playing in channelling money from Al Qaeda to Boko Haram. ”
He argued that “these individuals are bank-rolling the group’s brutal activities to create instability ahead of the February 2015 Nigerian general election. There would be an endless cycle of evil if the Chibok girls are freed without the group’s sponsors being stopped. It would simply lead to many more young women being taken in their place.”
Davies said apart from tackling the moneymen behind the sect, those politicians that have been found quilty of supporting the sect must be brought to book.
