The Defence Intelligence Agency has summoned Kunle Olawunmi, a former navy commodore, following his revelation about top-ranking officials of the Buhari regime who are allegedly sponsoring the activities of Boko Haram.
Although it is unclear if it has other agenda, a message by the defence headquaters claimed it was summoning Mr Olawumi to enable him shed light on information that would aid in the regime’s fight against terrorism.
“You recall he said he is privileged to have lots of information during his media interview on Channels. He was only invited through text message to come over as a retired military officer to shed more lights with the information that would assist the AFN to further fight against terrorism, insurgency and banditry,” the message seen by Peoples Gazette partly read.
“The government has developed cold feet in fighting the insurgency because some of those backing Boko Haram are now top-ranking government officials,” the military intelligence expert had said.
“Why can’t this government, if not that they are partisan, bring those people out for trial?” he added.
Alleging that some of the sponsors are senators, ministers and top officials of the current administration, he said “I can’t come on air and start mentioning names of people that are presently in the government – that the boys (terrorists) that were arrested mentioned. Some of them are governors.”
