BOKO HARAM FOUNDER INFORMATION LINK OUT

A London-based charity organisation, Al-Muntada Trust Fund, has been accused by a British member of parliament of funding Boko Haram in Nigeria, according to a report released by British newspaper The Guardian on Sunday.

David Alton, a member of the House of Lords, raised concerns about the Al-Muntada Trust Fund's activities with Foreign Office minister, Lord Howell, in July, as well as with the United Kingdom's Charity Commission and the Metropolitan police.

However the charity commission stated that while it was aware of concerns regarding Al-Muntada's affiliations with Boko Haram, it was unable to confirm whether those concerns were directly related to the London-based Al-Muntada, since there were several other charity organisations registered under the same name, according to The Guardian. Nevertheless, the London-based Al-Muntada is notorious for being a platform for radical clerics, The Guardian reported. Nigerian state security also has concerns with Al-Muntada allegedly funding Boko Haram, according to Nigerian media reports.
