The State Security Services had on
Wednesday paraded Yunus, who is a lecturer in Arabic Studies at the Kogi
State University and four others for alleged involvement in terrorist
activities. He was also alleged to be coordinating a terror cell in Kogi
state.
But his wife said in Jos on Friday that
her husband was framed, adding that he had never been a member of Boko
Haram, but had consistently preached against the activities of the sect.
In a related development, a United
States-based civil rights organisation, International Centre for
Advancement of Justice and Peace in Emerging Democracies, on Friday,
called on the State Security Services to properly investigate the
alleged involvement of a university teacher in the promotion of Boko
Haram lectures.
The organisation also raised the alarm
over alleged desperate plot to blackmail a Peoples Democratic Party
former governorship candidate in Kogi State, Mr. Jibrin Echocho, to
withdraw his petition against Governor Idris Wada which is pending at
the Supreme Court using some officials of the Department of State
Services.
The group said Echocho was being
blackmailed to either withdraw his case or “they will submit a concocted
security report linking him and his private secondary school with the
dreaded Boko Haram islamic sect.”
The wife said, “My husband is innocent,
SSS has lied against him, because he has never been a member of Boko
Haram Dr. Nazeef has been preaching that Boko Haram’s ideology is
anti-Islam, and is not the path of Allah.
“And up to the time of his arrest, he has remained on that position, we are sure that up till now he has never changed.”
She faulted operatives for defying a
court order directing that that suspect be brought before it on Tuesday
next week, but instead went on a public show just to denigrate and
destroy her husband’s reputation before Nigerians and before the whole
world.
