The US today Monday June 3rd posted up to $23 million in rewards to help track down five leaders of militant groups accused of spreading terror in west Africa. The highest reward of $7 million is offered for the Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, who last week called on Islamists in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq to join the bloody fight to create an Islamic state in Nigeria.
The US State Department’s Rewards for Justice program also targeted Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), offering its first ever bounties for wanted militants in west Africa. Up to $5 million was posted for Al-Qaeda veteran Mokhtar Belmokhtar, the one-eyed Islamist behind the devastating attack on an Algerian gas plant in January in which 37 foreigners, including three Americans, were killed.

Malik Abou Abdelkarim, a senior fighter with AQIM, and Oumar Ould Hamaha, the spokesman for Mali’s Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO), were also targeted by the rewards program, which will give up to $3 million each for information leading to their arrests.

Quote of The Day From Ọmọ Oódua Reader - Unedited
"I personally think The US should leave Nigeria to her problems. We don't need U.S help looking for boko haram. We will find them and jail them" They Should rather look for those that are causing oil spill everywhere and jail them or compensate those that are affected. There is no difference between the two of them.U.S war games is open to everyone. They should try another trick please. I'am just passing by. This is what Naija gets when they refuse to build U.S base in Naija. Ghana agreed. Do you see boko haram in Ghana ?
There muslims in Ghana too. They should leave Naija alone. Double minded plus double standard equal to what people ? Same people giving arms to support Sryian Rebels Now want the Same Rebels Dead in Nigeria.
Please Stop And leave us Alone.
