Top Boko-Haram ‘Commanders’ Arrested In Kaduna

An impeccable military source has
confirmed to SaharaReporters that a
combined team of Nigerian soldiers, police,
and operatives of the State Security Service
(SSS) has rounded up top Boko Haram
‘commanders’ after combing several
locations in Kaduna State this week.
The source said the captured Boko Haram
“commanders” were the brains behind a
series of violent attacks carried out in the
state in recent weeks. He added that they
were caught as they planned to launch new
attacks in the town of Kaduna during the
Sallah festivities.
The military source stated that security
operatives recovered extensive
incriminating evidence from the captured
leaders of the extremist Islamist leaders.
“We got evidence from them to suggest
their direct affiliation with Boko Haram and
also that they were part and parcel of the
recent attacks,” he said.
The source also disclosed that his
combined team also captured several foot
soldiers of the Boko Haram sect, adding
that they were under interrogation.
The joint military-SSS raid that netted the
Boko Haram members was carried out in
the Rigasa District in Kaduna State.
“The operations brought us face to face to
the reality that we must intensify our
operations. We are using patrols and other
strategies we will not talk about now to
contain any plans by them [Boko Haram]
during Sallah festivities,” the military officer
said.
Last Sunday, suspected Boko Haram sect
members ambushed a policeman. They
shot him dead, and then escaped with his
rifle.
