Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and APC chieftain Nasir El-Rufai, named former Borno State governor Modu Sheriff (recently defected to Peoples Democratic Party) and Lt. Gen Azubuike Ihejirika, a former chief of army staff as Boko Haram �kingpins”.

Sharing the statement via his Facebook and Twitter pages, the former minister cited Australian hostage and crisis negotiator Stephen Davis, who alleged the above duo were key elements of the insurgency on Arise News. Davis claims the information was disclosed by Boko Haram commanders, who claim the pair have targeted individuals for assassination and execution.
