UBA Crazy Conspiracy Theories Linked Nigerian Bank to Israel and Hamas
United Bank for Africa (UBA) is a Nigerian multinational financial services group headquartered in Lagos. It is one of the largest commercial banks in Africa.
In recent years, UBA has been the subject of a number of conspiracy theories linking the bank to Israel and Hamas. These theories have been widely circulated on social media and have been picked up by some news outlets.
One of the most common conspiracy theories is that UBA is a front for Israeli intelligence. This theory is based on the fact that UBA has a significant presence in Israel and that some of its top executives are Jewish.
Another common conspiracy theory is that UBA is a money laundering operation for Hamas. This theory is based on the fact that UBA has branches in Gaza and that some of its customers have been accused of links to Hamas.
These conspiracy theories have been debunked by experts and by UBA itself. However, they continue to be circulated by some people who believe that UBA is a threat to Nigeria and to Africa.
Turkey 2016 Coup
In July 2016, a group of Turkish military officers attempted to overthrow the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The coup was unsuccessful, but it led to a period of political instability and repression in Turkey.
Some people believe that the 2016 Turkish coup was orchestrated by Israel and the United States. They point to the fact that the coup attempt took place just weeks after Erdoğan had criticized Israel for its actions in Gaza. They also point to the fact that the US military was present in Turkey at the time of the coup and that the US government was quick to condemn the coup attempt.
These claims have been denied by the Israeli and US governments. However, they continue to be circulated by some people who believe that Israel and the US are trying to undermine the Turkish government.
Conclusion
The conspiracy theories linking UBA to Israel and Hamas and to the 2016 Turkish coup are unfounded. They have been debunked by experts and by the organizations themselves. However, they continue to be circulated by some people who believe that these organizations are a threat to their countries.
It is important to be aware of these conspiracy theories and to be able to critically evaluate the information that is presented. It is also important to remember that just because something is widely circulated on social media does not mean that it is true.
2016
A former U.S. commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), a NATO-led security mission in Afghanistan, was the organizer of the July 15 military coup attempt in Turkey, sources said.
General John F. Campbell was one of the top figures who organized and managed the soldiers behind the failed coup attempt in Turkey, sources close to ongoing legal process of pro-coup detainees said.
Campbell also managed more than $2 billion money transactions via United Bank For Africa, (UBA) in Nigeria by using CIA links to distribute among the pro-coup military personnel in Turkey.
The ongoing investigation unveiled that Campbell had paid at least two secret visits to Turkey since May, until the day of the coup attempt.
The coup plot that was foiled by the comprehensive effort of Turkish Nation, including its citizens, politicians, media and police forces, was organized by the Fethullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) led-by so-called cleric Fethullah Gülen who has been living in self-exile in America for several years.
American Intelligence, Military and other institutions are accused of supporting the FETO leader Gülen and his gangs for the military coup.
Military sources said Campbell, who was the commander of ISAF between August 26, 2014 and May 1, 2016, had made some top secret meetings in Erzurum military base and Adana İnicrlik Airbase.
İncirlik Airbase has been used by the U.S. Military for conducting the anti-Daesh campaign in Syria.
Military sources said that Campbell was the man, who directed the process of trending / blacklisting the military officers in the base.
If the coup attempt was successful, Campbell would visit Turkey in a short time, according to the sources.
Transition of $2 billion from Nigeria to Turkey
The Nigeria branch of the United Bank of Africa (UBA) was the main base for the last six-months of money transactions for the coup plotters.
Millions of dollars of money has been transferred from Nigeria to Turkey by a group of CIA personnel.
The money, which has been distributed to an 80-person special team of the CIA, was used to convince pro-coup generals.
More than 2 billion dollars were distributed during the process leading to the coup.
After taking money from their bank accounts, the CIA team hand delivered it to the terrorists under the military dresses.
Categorizing the military officers
The sources said that some familiar figures in the Eastern and Southeastern part of the country had taken active roles during the process, while the members of the Gülenist gang have been used in central and eastern region.
All officers who command a group of soldiers in a patrol station, unit, company, regiment, brigade, division, corps, or army were kept in close surveillance.
In 2015, the pro-Gülenist officers in the İncirlik base established an investigation desk. They drew the map of all soldiers under their command. They investigated the soldiers’ trends, their personalities and family background.
All soldiers were categorized in three groups: opponents, neutrals, and supporters.
A commander from the smallest patrol station to all military units had been blacklisted under the process.
Soldiers who were marked as opponents to the junta, was debarred from the “financial support.”
The military personnel who were in a neutral position received a difference in the amount of money, according to the importance of their position and ranks.
The money transactions were started in March 2015 through the commissioned “courier”.
The supports who also were categorized as “those who will move with us,” were provided a huge amount of money.
All soldiers and officers in this category were considered as the devoted members of the FETO terror group.
A bag with a large amount of money was found in the room of Brigadier General Mehmet Dişli, one of the top military officials detained for leading the coup attempt. Yenisafak is reporting.
