CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA [CAN] MAI TATSINE& BOKO HARAM!!! MAI TATSINE, BOKO HARAM AND CAN: THE BITTER TRUTH “Marwa Mai tatsine, was a Christian until his death!! Back in 1954, there were a series of meetings by the highest body of Christian associations in northern Nigeria, in Jos, when I happened to be the secretary, taking the minutes of that meeting. (Then, I was an undergraduate student of Christian Theology). Part of the result of that meeting was to sponsor some people among ‘us’ to go to Arab countries as new Muslim converts, and learn Arabic and Islam. Their mission is to come back to Nigeria as Muslims clerics, use their Islamic knowledge to preach violence, distort original Islamic teachings and if possible cause a riot in the North that will make northern Nigeria a history. Five people were nominated for the job, and sent to Sudan to start their mission. Three of them refused to come back and execute the plan but spent the rest of their lives in Sudan as true Muslims. The remaining two; Muhammad Marwa and Birema came back, Marwa was sent to Kano, and Birema was sent to Niamey Niger Republic.”…. Professor Dauda Ojobi Professor Dauda Ojobi, wasa former secretary of Northern Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), a retired Professor at Benue State University faculty of Law, the third Reverend Father from northern Nigeria, after Paul Gindiri, and GG Ganaka, The first Nigerian overseer of Baptist Church in Kaduna, and One-time commissioner of Justice in Bauchi State. Mai Tatsine’s ideology was the obsolete version of Boko Haram, which began their reign in the late 1950’s in Kano and some other parts of Northern Nigeria. Their ideologies were similar to that of Boko Haram, they forbade what Islam allowed, and allowed what Islam made haram. They claimed western education is a sin, they rejected anything brought by technology, they were popular with saying that wearing a wrist watch is haram, using radios and television is haram e.t.c. (considering the technological advancement of that period). The spiritual leaderof Maitatsine movement was Muhammad Marwa a.k.a Mai Tatsine. The late Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi, once suspected Maitasine as a fake Muslim when he discovered Maitatsine had received goods from Vatican Palace. After the Emir confirmed his findings, he expelled Maitatsine from Kano in theearly 60’s. Mai Tatsine was later brought back to Kano by former Governor Rimi in1979. After the Maitatsine’sdeath, former President Shagari, set up the Justice Anya Golu panel to investigate the crises. Prof. Dauda Ojobi made his submission at that panel. But when the President saw the report, he said no, a white paper will not be issued on this report, because it may result in more crisis, and the white paper was not issued, till date. Professor Dauda became a Muslim in 1966, after he came back from Rome, where he went to further his studies in Christian Theology. He is still alive and has become a Muslim preacher for over 40 years. What I quoted above was from his lecture which I attended in Bauchi, in 2002. Ever since then, no Christian scholar or CAN executive has denied this statement from Prof. Dauda . Security operatives who always claim they want uproot Boko Haram did not investigate this angle, why? I see a double standard approach and hypocrisy by the security personnel, in their investigation. I have begun to believe that Boko Haram is the creation of some enemies of Islam but never a creation of Muslims. Remember, Hillary Clinton once said Taliban is their creation, in order to fight Russians. Umar Ibrahim Tafida.
