Insecurity: Prove Nigeria is safe, get $20,000, Omokri taunts Shehu

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, has alleged that former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, makes money from the collections made in the name of Leah Sharibu, the Christian girl kidnapped by Boko Haram.

Shehu said this in reaction to a challenge by Omokri for him to spend a night without security in Koshobe, Borno state, or in Kware, Sokoto state.

Omokri who served in the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan said that doing so will prove Shehu’s claim that his principal the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has made Nigeria safe.

He wrote on Twitter, “Garba Shehu said Buhari has made Nigeria safer. I vow to pay him $20,000 if he will spend a night without security in Koshobe, or Kware, verified by an independent journalist. I will give the funds to Dele Momodu when he accepts to go.”

In response to the challenge, Shehu tweeted, “If this is the money from the collections made in the name of Leah Sharibu, the unfortunate Christian girl stolen by Boko Haram, I won’t touch it. Please keep “your USD20000”.”
