As Nigerians continue to speculate whether the man in Aso Rock is truly President Mohammadu Buhari or an impostor from Sudan, given the international backlash that greeted the attempt by the president to clear the air on the confusion about him being a body-double in faraway Poland, investigation by a team of journalists reveal that there is an element of truth surrounding the claims by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, that Buhari has died and that Nigeria is being ruled by a Sudanese.
The timeline of events as presented by the investigators, revealed a closer link between Nigeria and Sudan since the saga began, especially the assassination of Nigeria’s immigration attache to Sudan.
Read the details below..
“Nigerians really ought to pay more attention to events. Many people fail to realise the serious affinity between Northern Nigeria and Sudan. Many do not know that one of the first Consulates opened by the Ahmadu Bello government of Northern Region was in Khartoum. Many do not realise that about 12% of the population of Sudan is of Borno origins. In fact, it is reckoned that the Sudanese President, Omar Al-Bashir, is partly Kanuri. The cement between Northern Nigeria and Sudan is pretty strong.
Kindly take note of the events below and dates:
1. In December 2016, Musa Saban Maman was designated as the Nigerian ambassador to SOUTH Sudan
2. In July 2017, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu alleged that a Sudanese national had been used to replace the president of Nigeria who was alleged to be no more
3. In September 2017, the Nigerian Military stormed Mr. Nnamdi’s house and 28 people were allegedly killed. Mr. Nnamdi disappeared with his family.
Nothing more was heard of the allegations save rumours and grumblings of the inability of the Nigerian President to engage his officials save for a select few.
Then a few things started happening in the Sudan. Here are a few:
1. 14th November, 2017
The Deputy Chairman of the National Congress Party of Sudan (Ibrahim Mamoud) met with the Nigerian ambassador to discuss ways via which the NCP and APC (the ruling parties in Sudan and Nigeria respectively) would continue to cooperate and synergize!
(…should ruling parties of different countries meet at the governmental level? Of course, this is unethical)
2. 12th April, 2018
The Governor of the Red Sea State in Sudan met with the Nigerian ambassador to discuss investment opportunities in the state!
(…the Red Sea state is empty. Why would anyone invest in Port Sudan when Mombasa in Kenya could generate more returns on investment? Was the ambassador being prepared for something?)
3. 18th April, 2018
Minister of Justice for Sudan met with the Nigerian ambassador (Musa Saban Maman) on the need to CONSOLIDATE relations between the two countries!
(…the foreign minister of Sudan should have been the one to hold a meeting like this and not the Minister of Justice)
4. The Nigerian ambassador is from Yobe state. The governor of Yobe state was invited to Sudan on May 3rd, 2018. He was conferred with an honorary doctorate degree and praised to high heavens by the Nigerian ambassador.
Well, it seems everything was fine. Then someone who shouldn’t have died, did die…in Khartoum.
Kindly take note of all the dates above.
Habib Almustapha had been appointed the Nigerian Immigration Attaché to the embassy in Khartoum. He had been in Nigeria. He hailed from Ungwan Sabuwan in Katsina State.
April 18th
1. Habib Almustapha was invited to Abuja (who invited him?)
2. He spent a week in Abuja and returned to Katsina
3. He left Katsina 3 days later for Khartoum
4. He reported for work and went to his apartment in Khartoum
5. On May 10th 2018, his corpse was found in his home. He had been stabbed to death
6. Dubai-based Al Arabiya TV announced his death as an assassination
7. Sudanese authorities concluded that mindless criminals killed him and NOT politically motivated! (you don’t say! 😀! Who asked them about the political angle)
8. A young lady, Sudanese of Nigerian origins named Inas Khalid Maikano (student at the Sudanese-Canadian College in Khartoum) was the suspect; she was released thereafter
9. The Nigerian Consulate announced that investigations were ongoing (Tiwatope Elias-Fatile; the spokesman is still awaiting the investigation reports)
10. The investigations seem to have been forgotten. And the Nigerian Government is not kicking that the assassination of a national be explained.
Mr. Habibu Almustapha was in charge of stamping and authorizing the visa applications of Sudanese travelling to Nigeria. Who invited him to Abuja? Why had the Nigerian ambassador been so busy with the Sudanese officials? Why is it that the meetings don’t make sense? What are they all covering?
Nigerians should really pay attention! It’s just common sense…smh
In fact I recall my posts at the time the Immigration attache in the Nigerian embassy in Sudan was assassinated. I followed the story up for a while. I’m truly aware of all these facts having followed the news as they broke.
