Boko Haram funded through CBN- Australian Hostage negotiator says

It appears Australian hostage negotiator Dennis
Stephen isn't done making outrageous and some
would say 'eye-opening' claims. Just a day after
he claimed that former Borno state Gov, Alimodu
Sheriff and an unnamed retired army chief are
sponsors of Boko Haram, he's now claiming that
the insurgent group if funded through the CBN. In
an interview with TheCable, Stephen claimed a
senior official of the CBN handles the financial
transactions of the sect group. What hs said
below...
"One of the biggest of suppliers of arms and
military uniforms to the JAS (Jama’atu Ahlis
Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, better known
as Boko Haram) currently lives in Cairo,
Egypt. He is the recipient of money sent by
political sponsors from Nigeria. The funds
go through the CBN’s financial system and
appear to be a legal transaction. Meanwhile,
the CBN official who handles the funding is
an uncle to three of those arrested in
connection with the Nyanya bombings. The
three boys lived with him. They were
arrested by the SSS (Department of State
Security) after the bombings but they do not
seem to have been interrogated about their
uncle in CBN. Or if they have given up
information about their uncle then the SSS
has not moved against him." Stephen said

"Also, a senior official of CBN, who recently
left the bank, was very close to Sodiq
Aminu Ogwuche, the mastermind of the
Nyanya bombings who also schooled in
Sudan. Boko haram commanders said
Ogwuche’s wife used to visit this top official
in his office at the headquarters of the bank
in Abuja before the Nyanya bombings. They
were very close,” Davis said. He said he is
speaking out now because he feels the
Federal government is doing little in the
rescue of the missing Chibok girls "I have
three daughters. I just cannot stand the
thought of what those girls are passing
through. I have spoken to an escapee who
described how she was being raped for 40
days by militants. I can’t stand it. It is
heart-breaking. Nigerian authorities must
act decisively now,” he said
