Ali Sanda Umar Konduga (A.K.A) Usman Al-Zawahiri, the man paraded by Nigeria’s secret police as a Boko-Harram spokesperson, was expelled by the Islamic Sect in February of 2011 for allegedly being a spy for the Nigerian State Security Service.
Konduga is not known to be an operational member of the sect and had been under ‘protective watch’ of the Nigerian Secret Police since February of 2011. Konduga is known to have unrestricted access to high ranking officials of Nigerian Secret Police (SSS) and top officials of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party
Security sources claim the name ‘Usman Al-Zawahiri’ is a ‘franchise pseudo name’ used by the Boko-Harram sect, the same way ‘Jomo-Gbomo’ is used by the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta.
Disgruntled operatives in the State Security Service are said to be unhappy with Marlyn Ogah a source claim the SSS spokesperson is “putting field operatives at risk with politicization of investigations”.
Ms Ogah is said to receive directives from the Presidency, rather than follow the ‘operational standards’ of the Directorate of State Security Service. Director General of the State Security Service Ita Ekpeyong is facing a huge challenge as moral in the service is at its lowest.
Ms Ogah is reported to take directive from the presidency, she was recently promoted on the orders of President Jonathans National Security Adviser retired General Owoye Azazi, a source within the State Security Service made pointers to the trial of the October 1st bombing suspects and how some of the statements made by Ms Ogah appears to be jeopardizing the case.
In a bizarre twist to the ‘breakthrough’ announced by Marln Ogah of the SSS so called Boko-Harram spokesperson Sanda Umar Konduga and alleged backer Senator Mohammed Aliyu Ndume, representing Borno South senatorial District at the National Assembly.
The pair where only charged with conspiring to commit a felony, breach of official trust by disclosing official information to persons not authorized to have such information.
The offense was said to be contrary to sections 79,98 and 398 of the Criminal Procedure Code and not with Terrorism as publicised by Marlin Ogah.
Ali Sanda Umar Konduga described as a “double agent” by security sources immediately pleaded guilty to the charges.
He can only be sentenced on the strength of section 398 of the CPC which deals with criminal intimidation by anonymous communication which prescribes a term of 2 years imprisonment to an offender.
