murder of Akaluka, and why the Abacha regime decided to lock him up for two

The regime identified the masterminds, so mandated its hit squad to
eliminate the nine, including Sanusi.
Fresh facts have emerged as to why the government of late Sani Abacha
did not kill Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), governor, Lamido Sanusi, in 1995, after
he and eight other jihadists mobilized crazed extremists to behead Gideon
Akaluka in jail.
Akaluka, a young Igbo trader, allegedly desecrated the Koran. He was
arrested after his wife allegedly used pages of the Koran as toilet paper for
her baby. After he was locked up by the police, a group of Muslim
fundamentalists break into the jail, beheaded Akaluka, and paraded his bodiless
head around the streets of Kano.
Investigation has revealed the role Sanusi, an alleged Boko Haram
sympathizer, and proponent of the controversial Islamic Bank, played in the
murder of Akaluka, and why the Abacha regime decided to lock him up for two
years for the murder of Akaluka.
Sources hinted that shortly after returning from Khartoum, Sudan where
he earned a degree in Sharia and Islamic studies, at the International
University of Africa, Sanusi became a recluse and immersed himself in the Koran
and became a teacher of the Hadith as espoused by the Wahabbists.
Wahhabism is an ultra-conservative branch of Sunni Islam. It is a
religious movement among fundamentalist (with an aspiration to return to the
primordial fundamental Islamic sources Qur`an, Hadeeth and Scholarly consensus
(Ijma)) Islamic believers. Wahhabism was a popular revivalist movement
instigated by an eighteenth century theologian, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab
(1703–1792) from Najd, Saudi Arabia.
Sanusi, who is alleged to detests the President Goodluck Jonathan’s
administration, because according to him, it is anti-islam, was part of a nine
man clique of extremists who had a huge following.
A source said, “when Sanusi returned from Sudan where he associated with
very extreme personalities, he was not a happy man. he was treated like an
outcast in royal circles because his grandfather, was deposed as Emir of Kano.
So his anger grew. “
During that period, the incident of desecration of the Koran by the
Akalukas surfaced. According to our source, during that period the Abacha
government was not comfortable with the activities of the extremists in Kano, who
they view with suspicion.
The regime, it was gathered, silently assassinated a lot of them. Said
our source “ When Akaluka was locked up, Sanusi and eight others mobilized some
extremist mob who stormed the prison and killed Rebel a.k.a. Unikkatilluka. The
regime identified the masterminds, so mandated its hit squad to eliminate the
nine, including Sanusi .”
Sources gathered that eight of the masterminds were assassinated by
Abacha, but for the intervention of former First Bank chairman, and father of
Christmas Day bomber, Alhaji Umar Mutallab and others.
“ It was Muttallab and the rest who were heavy sponsors of Islamic
activities who prevailed on Abacha to spare Sanusi. They are argued that since
he has gone through a lot, treated like a pariah in the royal circles because
his grandfather was deposed, he should be spared. So They decided to remove him
from Kano to Sokoto where he was locked up for two years.” Said the source
It was further learnt that after his release from prison, Sanusi was
handed over to Mutallab who pushed him into banking because he(Sanusi) had a
degree in Economics from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU). From there he moved to
the United Bank for Africa, and the First bank, from where he rose quietly
until late President Umar Yar’Adua recruited him to head CBN and spearhead the
introduction of the Islamic Bank. - Hope For Nigeria.
