Scores Of Boko Haram Members Disguised As Refugees Arrested In Maiduguri

Suspected Boko Haram Insurgents, who fled
Bama alongside IDPs and formed a syndicate
along Bama road at Yanshayi, in Maiduguri, the
Borno state capital have been rounded up by
security operative. While many were arrested
others escaped and are at large at the moment.
Those who were arrested were brought to the
headquarters of sector 3 around Gidan Madara
‘Milk shop’ on Tuesday evening before they were
moved by soldiers to Giwa Barracks in Maiduguri.
A civilian JTF, who identified himself as Tanimu
Shuiabu told our reporter that, they have been
arresting members of the Boko Haram insurgents
who escaped during and encounter with the
Nigerian military and stormed Maiduguri, the
Borno state capital as IDPs.
According to him, ” Those who were today
arrested were said to have been seen on several
occasions planning mischief. They have been kept
under close watch until when we found out that,
they were members of Boko Haram who came
from Bama with the IDPs”
Asked on how they were able to establish that
those who were arrested were members of the
Islamic sect,. Tanimu said, ” they had guns. They
never wanted anybody around to be friends with
them and they would always leave other IDPs for
private meetings.
” When they were confronted by other IDPs over
their nocturnal meetings, they told them that they
were only planning on how to go back to Bama,
saying that it was better to go back than to
continue to live under the present harsh situation
and that their major concern was how to get
back to Bama through Konduga.
“Also one of the IDPs who saw them with guns
sneaked and told some of our boys (civilian JTF)
and we inform the soldiers with all the details
that we had. After it was established that they
were Boko Haram members, the soldiers stormed
the place today and many of them were
arrested.” He said.
