Boko Haram Says AIT Phone-In Interview Call Is Fake

You will recall that a purported telephone call made to the African Independent Television (AIT) by a caller pretending to be a Boko Haram threatened to attack Lagos and Abuja in 72 hours. The Islamist militant sect Boko Haram has revealed that a purported telephone call made to the African Independent Television (AIT) by a caller pretending to be a Boko Haram spokesperson was fake.
A source close to the sect told Saharareporters that no one in the sect or any on its leadership initiated a call threatening to attack Lagos and Abuja in 72 hours.A Nigerian local TV station-African Independent Television- had played a phone call in which an individual claiming to be a representative of Boko Haram threatened to attack Lagos and Abuja in 72 hours.
The caller also requested that Nigeria President Goodluck Jonathan unconditionally  meet with the sect in Yobe state, without security, to discuss the terms of a ceasefire, but our most reliable source said the call was a prank pulled by individuals capitalizing on the hysteria created by Boko Haram's recent attacks in northern Nigeria.

Meet our Demands or We Will Bomb Lagos and Abuja in 72 Hours –Boko Haram

We are swimming in dangerous waters in Nigeria and many of those living and doing business in the nation's Political and Commercial capitals - Abuja and Lagos - are in for some serious trouble as the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram, has threatened to destroy the two cities with bombs in 72 hours.

In a phone call to Africa Independent Television on Friday, they threatened to unleash bomb attacks in Lagos and Abuja unless President Goodluck Jonathan appears on AIT for an open discussion with them.

The phone call was broadcast on the AIT news at 8pm last night. According to someone who watched the news and posted his observations on Nairaland, the sect made some demands and promised to unleashed terror if the Jonathan Government does not comply:

(1)  Goodluck Jonathan should act on the letter written to him by Boko Haram.
(2)  Former Governor of Borno (Ali Modu Sheriff), former Minister of Police Affairs 

       and some PDP stalwarts in the North should be arrested and tried for terrorism.
(3)  Government should create an open forum for dialogue at Abuja, open to the public. 

      They said they are ready to come to Abuja for dialogue provided it is an open one.

What do you think the President should do? Should he appear on AIT for open discussion with Boko Haram? Since they gave 72 hours for their demands to be met, what should be the right response from the Presidency to avert loss of lives and property?

Boko Haram: Jonathan's Government Knows The Sponsors

Finally the Goodluck Jonathan administration have known those behind the killings of innocent Nigerians all in the name of political relevance. Olufamou.com gathered that a list comprising of names of the suspected top backers of the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram, has been compiled by top security agents.

The nation's security chiefs were said to have worked on an intelligence report highlighting that “some top politicians are financially backing up the Islamic sect so as to de-stabilize the present administration".
