The controversy over the alleged funders of terrorist sect Boko Haram showed up some new information, when Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka revealed some new indicting information.
Soyinka had revealed that he had worked with Stephen Davis, the Australian negotiator who recently revealed some damming details of alleged sponsors.
Soyinka was talking after news surface that the Chibok girls are being raped and tortured to death.
Soyinka said: “Finally, Stephen Davis also mentioned a Boko Haram financier within the Nigerian Central Bank.
“Independently we are able to give backing to that claim, even to the extent of naming the individual. In the process of our enquiries, we solicited the help of a foreign embassy whose government, we learnt, was actually on the same trail, thanks to its independent investigation into some money laundering that involved the Central Bank.
“That name, we confidently learnt, has also been passed on to President Jonathan.
“When he is ready to abandon his accommodating policy towards the implicated, even the criminalized, an attitude that owes so much to re-election desperation, when he moves from a passive `letting the law to take its course’ to galvanizing the law to take its course, we shall gladly supply that name.”
A Nigerian play-right and poet Wole Soyinka was born on 13 July 1934. He won his Nobel Prize for Literature in 1986, becoming the first African to get the award.
