Abdul Mutallab might be the main reason why Boko Haram is being wicked and abnormal -- the determination to achieve freedom for him and all their arrested militants with the Nigerian government.

Several of their militants have been arrested over the years and yet no clue to the whereabouts of this group, “Boko Haram", meaning 'Western Education is forbidden'.

In December 2009, a young man by name Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab  was arrested for attempting to detonate plastic explosives hidden in his underwear while on board Northwest Airlines Flight 253, en route from Amsterdam to Detroit, Michigan.

Analyst said he had failed due to his bad luck.

Following the story, Abdul Mutallab in a video before his attack cited in the Q’uran “If you don’t fight back, God will punish you and replace you”.

The flight which had 289 passengers on board will have been bad news to the world if Abdul Mutallab had with him some good luck. The bomb had failed because his detonator had failed to engage, thus, leading to his arrest, his seat number which was 19A and close to 11,000 gallon fuel tank will have been disastrous.

In a statement to the judge who presided over his case in court, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab said “I am proud to kill in the name of God."

In April 15 2014, more than 200 girls were kidnapped by Boko Haram under the leadership of Abubakar Sheku, and first coming out with claims of selling the girls into marriage or slavery, recent claims made by this insurgents indicates the trading of these girls with militants of Boko haram being arrested by the Nigerian government, to set their militants free in place of the girls.

From January until July 2009, Abdul Mutallab attended a master's of international business degree program at University of Wollongong in Dubai.

In May 2009, Abdul Mutallab tried to return to Britain, ostensibly for a six-month "life coaching" program at what the British authorities concluded was a fictitious school; the United Kingdom Border Agency denied his visa application.

His name was placed on a UK Home Office security watch list which, according to BBC News, means he could not enter the UK.

Passing through the country in transit was permissible and he was not permanently banned; the UK did not share the information with other countries. This status was based on his visa application being rejected to prevent immigration fraud rather than for a national security purpose.

Intelligence officials suspect that Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula member, Anwar al-Awlaki, may have directed Abdulmutallab to Yemen for al-Qaeda training. Abdulmutallab's father agreed in July 2009 to his son's request to return to the San'a Institute for the Arabic Language in Yemen, to study Arabic from August to September 2009. He arrived in the country in August.

Abdulmutallab was the only African student in the school of 70 students.A fellow student at the Institute said Abdulmutallab would start his day by going to the mosque for dawn prayers, and then spent hours in his room reading the Quran. Ahmed Mohammed, one of his teachers, said Abdulmutallab spent the last 10 days of Ramadan sequestered in a mosque. He apparently left the Institute after a month, while remaining in-country.

His family became concerned in August 2009 when he called to say he had dropped the course, but was remaining in Yemen. By September he routinely skipped his classes at the Institute and attended lectures at Iman University, known for suspected links to terrorism.“He told me his greatest wish was for sharia and Islam to be the rule of law across the world,” said one of his classmates at the Institute.

The Institute obtained an exit visa for him at his request, and on September 21 arranged for a car that took him to the airport. But the school's director said: "After that, we never saw him again, and apparently he did not leave Yemen".

In October 2009, Abdulmutallab sent his father a text message saying that he was no longer interested in pursuing an MBA in Dubai, and wanted to study sharia and Arabic in a seven-year course in Yemen. When his father threatened to cut off his funding, Abdulmutallab said he was “already getting everything for free”. When his father asked who would sponsor him, Abdulmutallab replied "That's none of your business." His text messages to his father included: "I've found a new religion, the real Islam"; "You should just forget about me, I'm never coming back"; "Please forgive me. I will no longer be in touch with you"; and "Forgive me for any wrongdoing, I am no longer your child." The family last had contact with Abdulmutallab in October 2009.

Yemeni officials said that Abdulmutallab was in Yemen from early August 2009, and overstayed his student visa (which was valid through September 21). He left Yemen on December 7 (flying to Ethiopia, and then two days later to Ghana).

Ghanaian officials say he was there from December 9 until December 24, when he flew to Lagos. On Christmas Day 2009, Abdulmutallab traveled from Ghana to Amsterdam, where he boarded Northwest Airlines Flight 253 en route to Detroit. He had a Nigerian passport and valid U.S. tourist visa, and purchased his ticket with cash in Ghana on December 16.

But the major concern to this writing is whether, Boko Haram will ask for the release of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

Or better put, the general reason for the abduction of the girls is an attempt to demand the release of their native man, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab? And if that is the situation, will the American and Nigerian government agree as Israel did by releasing more 1,150 Palistinian Political prisoners for 3 Israeli soldiers held by the Popular front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command.
