Breaking: SSS Parades 5 Boko Haram Suspects Including A University Lecturer

The State Security Service (SSS) today in
Abuja paraded five suspected Boko
Haram members alleged to have planned
deadly attacks on Igala, Kogi State.
Among the suspects were Dr. Mohammad
Nazeef Yunus, an Assistant Lecturer in
Arabic and Islamic Studies at Kogi State
University.  He was said to be the Spiritual
Leader and Coordinator for Boko Haram
in the State, and the leader of the gang.
Nazeef, who was born in Idah, Kogi State,
attended the Arabic Central Primary
School in that town, and El-Kanemi
College, Maiduguri. He also studied at
the Islamic School, University of Medina,
in Saudi Arabia and served in the
National Youth Service Corp in 1995 at Al-
Iman Secondary School, Dogon Dutse, in
Jos.
Nazeef earned a Masters Degree in Arabic
from the University of Jos. Just last year,
he earned a Ph.D in Islamic Studies from
Kogi State University.
Also arrested by the SSS were Umar Musa
(Instructor), Mustapha Yusuf, Ismaila
Yunusa, Mohammed Nasir, and Ibrahim
Isa.
SSS spokesperson Marilyn Ogar said the
suspects were planning to carry out an
attack on Igala Land but were arrested at
Zuba white mosque near Abuja on their
way to Zambisa in Maiduguri for training.
They were also going to install Sharia in
Kogi State.
Umar Musa (Head of Operations/
Instructor) confessed publicly that he was
employed by Boko Haram as Instructor
after he lost his job with the state
teaching hospital, and was taken to the
Sambisa camp of the sect for a week’s
training on handling weapons. He said
he was deployed to the education unit of
the camp as Munzi (instructor) and
placed on a monthly salary of N50,000.
He further stated that he and Yusuf later
returned from Sambisa and re-united
with Nazeef in Kogi State where they
plotted to carry out violent attacks in
Igala land.  He maintained that Nazeef
appointed him the Head of Operations
and munzir.
Mustapha Yusuf (Armourer/Chief
Courier) and Ismaila Abdulazeez (Foot
soldier) confessed that that Nazeef was
their teacher who teaches them Jihad and
Islamic Sharia.
Ogar told newsmen that the suspects will
soon be charged to court.
