Boko Haram: FG to publish names of sponsors

•NLC accuses US of complicating Nigeria’s security challenges

THE presidency appears to have given the nod to investigators and security operatives to release the list of possible sponsors of the dreaded Boko Haram sect, which unleashed violence in the northeastern states of Borno and Yobe last week.

No fewer than 100 persons were mowed down in separate but related attacks by the sect in Maiduguri and Damaturu last week.

It was, however, gathered that the government, which got details of the operations of the sect and some alleged financiers in August, had kept the list to itself up till now.
