The minister of digital communications in Nigeria, Alhaji Isa Pantami has fallen on the watchlist of the America’s Intelligence service. Pantami, also serves as the deputy secretary general of the Supreme Sharia Council in Nigeria.

“Under the Osama’s leadership, he became the unit commander of army of AlQaeda with the support of the Commander of the loyal Maula Umar (Taliban leader).

It was after the September 11 attack that he suffered serious leg injury and was taken to Iraq for treatment where he spent a long time recovering.

Pantami wrote: “When Iraq was attacked by the Enemies of God, this great man joined in the fight leading his group against the US military and its allies in Iraq.
