Lawmaker Claims SSS Knew About Boko Haram Long Ago
Abdulrahman Terab, a member of the House of Representatives
from Borno State has claimed that the State Security Service (SSS) has
full information on Boko Haram insurgency even before 2002 when the
public got to know about.
Speaking to newsmen in Abuja yesterday,
the lawmaker who said there was too much wrong information in
circulating in the public disclosed that the Department of State Service
(DSS) should be able to provide the accurate details of the sect before
2002.
He further recounted how Boko Haram
transformed from a peaceful sect in 2002 to what is now the most dreaded
and very deadly group.
According to Daily Trust report, Terab
said back in 2002, the sect launched in Kanamma, Yobe state where it was
tagged as Taliban, not Boko Haram, adding that before then, most of its
members were normal adherents of Islam who were youthful and have
mobilised themselves mostly in what is currently Indimi mosque,
Maiduguri.
"They were going about their normal
activities until the extreme views took centre stage and then launched
an attack in Kanamma in 2002," he said.
