Troops arrest ‘Boko Haram terrorist’ in Borno
The troops of the 115 task force battalion deployed in Askira Uba, Borno state, have arrested a suspected Boko Haram terrorist identified as Muhammed Jibrin.
Zagazola Makama, a publication focused on the Lake Chad region, reports that the suspect was nabbed during condone and search operations by the troops in the Askira Uba community.
All residents of the community were said to have come out for the condone and search operations except the suspect, who was found hiding.
The publication said the suspect has been handed over to the military intelligence unit for further investigation.
The development comes weeks after troops of the Nigerian Army killed eight fighters of the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) and Boko Haram terrorists during a raid of a “notorious enclave” in the Sambisa forest in Borno.
