Following the massive onslaught by
Security Forces on the activities of the
insurgent group, Boko Haram, at the Balmo
Forest Bauchi State, Police detectives
attached to Bauchi State Police Command
on Saturday, 12/7/2014 about 2pm have
arrested one Mohammed Zakari, a male of
30 years old and senior member of the
Boko Haram terrorists’ organization along
Darazo-Basrika Road while fleeing from the
intensive counter insurgency operations
going on around the Balmo Forest.
The suspect, who hails from Kaigamari
Village, Daptchari in Darazo Local
Government Area, Bauchi State is the self-
styled “chief butcher” of the insurgent
group at the Balmo Forest Camp and is
linked with the recent slaughter of seven
(7) people, including women and children.
Findings as well as disclosures from the
suspect will assist the Law enforcement
agencies in tracking down some other
members of the terror cell.
The suspect whom investigation reveals
was tutored in the art of insurgency at
Gombe Forest under the leadership of a
fleeing insurgent, one Abba Taura and
moved to Balmo Forest only three months
ago, is discovered to have actively
participated in the April attack against
Customs officers at Kari Town, along
Maiduguri Road, Bauchi State. Meanwhile,
the Police High Command has called on the
citizens in the affected areas to be on
guard for any suspicious or strange
character fleeing from Balmo Forest.
It also calls for the understanding and
support of the public for the efforts of the
Police and other Security Forces in tackling
insurgency, terrorism and other related
crimes headlong, noting that although the
war on terrorism is unrelenting, it is
certainly not insurmountable and must be
won with the cooperation of all.
