MAI TATSINE, BOKO HARAM ANDTHE CHRISTIANASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA(CAN): THE BITTER TRUTH“Marwa Maitatsine, was a Christian until his death!!Back in 1954, there ware series of meetings by the highestbody of Christian association in the northern Nigeria, in Jos,which I happened to be the secretary, taking the minutes ofthat meeting (then, I was an undergraduate student ofChristian Theology). Part of the result of that meeting was, tosponsor some people among ‘us’ to go to Arab countries asnew Muslim converts, and learn Arabic and Islam. Their missionis to come back to Nigeria as Muslims clerics, use their Islamicknowledge to preach violence, distort original Islamic teachingsand if possible cause a riot in the North that will make northernNigeria a history. Five people were nominated for the job, andsent to Sudan to start their mission. 3 of them refused tocome back and execute their plan, but spent the rest of theirlives in Sudan as true Muslims. The remaining two; MuhammadMarwa and Birema came back, Marwa was sent to Kano, andBirema was sent to Niamey Niger Republic.”….Pro fessor DaudaOjobiProfessor Dauda Ojobi, a former secretary of NorthernChristian Association of Nigeria (CAN), a retired Professor inBenue State University faculty of Law, the 3rd ReverendFather from northern Nigeria, after Paul Gindiri, and GG Ganaka,The first Nigerian overseer of Baptist Church in Kaduna, andOne time commissioner of Justice in Bauchi State.Mai Tatsine the obsolete version of Boko Haram, which begantheir reign in late 50’s in Kano and some other parts ofNorthern Nigeria, their ideologies were similar to that of BokoHaram, they forbade what Islam allowed, and allowed whatIslam made haram. They claimed western education is sin, theyrejected anything brought by technology, they were popularwith saying, wearing a wrist watch is haram, using radios andtelevision is haram e.t.c. (considering the technologicaladvancement of that period). The spiritual leader of Maitatsinemovement was Muhammad Marwa a.k.a Mai Tatsine. The Emirof Kano Sanusi, once suspected Maitasine as fake Muslimwhen he discovered Maitatsine received goods from VaticanPalace. After sarki confirmed his findings, he expelledMaitatsine out of Kano, in early 60’s. Mai Tatsine was laterbrought back to Kano by Gov. Rimi in 1979. Rimi believed thatMaitatsine would help him win his reelection through charm.After the Maitatsine’s death, Shagari, the then President seta Anya Goru panel to investigate the crises. Prof. Dauda hasmade his submission in that panel, but when the President,saw the report, he said no, the white paper will not be issuedon this report, because it may result to crises, so the whitepaper was not issued, till date.Professor Dauda became Muslim in 1966, after he came backfrom Rome, where he went to further his studies, in ChristianTheology. He is still alive and has become a Muslim preacher forover 40 years. What I quoted above was from his lecture Iattended in Bauchi, 2002.Ever since, no any Christian scholar or CAN executive deniedthis statement from Prof. Dauda . Are they waiting for hisdeath before they deny it?-Security operatives that always claim they want uproot theBoko Haram mayhem did not investigate in that angle, why?-Why the relationship between Jerry Gana (CAN chieftain)and Muhammad Yusuf, founder of Bokoharam? The former hasbailed the later from police custody several times.-I see a double standard approach and hypocrisy by thesecurity personnel, in the investigation.-I began to believe Boko Haram is the creation of some enemiesof Islam possibly CAN (not Christian), is never a creation ofMuslims.- Remember, Hillary Clinton once said Taliban is their creation,to fight Russians.I beg your pardon, if this write up hurt you in any form, it’s notintended, but facts need to be set straight.
