Reno Omokri Claims Binance Allegations Are a Distraction from USAID-Boko Haram Revelation

Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, has dismissed the recent accusations made by Tigran Gambaryan against Malam Nuhu Ribadu.

Calling them a “false flag” operation intended to deflect attention away from new allegations that Boko Haram was allegedly funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Omokri emphasised the odd timing of Gambaryan’s charges in a statement released on Thursday on his verified X account, pointing out that they were made precisely one hour after U.S. Congressman Scott Perry disclosed that certain American officials had been transferring money to Boko Haram.

Omokri questioned why Gambaryan, an imprisoned executive at Binance, made his claims at this time after spending weeks in the United States before to his arrest.

According to Omokri, Gambaryan was assisting foreign organisations that were sabotaging Nigeria’s economy by allowing the illicit inflow of $25 billion a year through Binance’s platform.

Omokri connected Gambaryan’s statements to an effort to hide recent reports that USAID had been giving Boko Haram yearly payments totalling millions of dollars.

According to him, these payments allegedly took place when the Obama and Biden administrations were refusing to provide Nigeria weapons, indicating a conscious attempt to frustrate Nigeria’s counterterrorism efforts.

Omokri also defended Nuhu Ribadu, the national security adviser, calling him an uncorruptible leader.

“Malam Nuhu Ribadu is an incorruptible leader who, as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, refused a $15 million cash bribe in 2006 and instead deposited the funds at the Central Bank of Nigeria.

“Tigran Gambaryan is an allegedly corrupt economic saboteur who worked against Nigeria’s economic interests for people whom Congressman Perry has now exposed as funders of terror,” he stated.
