NSCDC arrests three Boko Haram insurgents in Borno
The Borno State Command of the Nigeria
Security and Civil Defence Corps on Wednesday said it had arrested three
suspected members of the Boko Haram sect at the Maiduguri cattle
market.
The Commandant of the NSCDC in the state, Mr. Ibrahim Abdullahi,
disclosed this while addressing newsmen in Maiduguri.
Abdullahi said that two of the suspects
were drivers of the insurgents’ groups, while one of them was their
agent who was based in Maiduguri.
He said, “You will recall that we had
raised alarm that there are some agents of Boko Haram who are aiding
activities of Boko Haram, especially at the Maiduguri cattle market
known as ” Kasuwar Shanu”.
“They normally transport cows from Boko
Haram and sell them for the insurgents. The bad elements will then
transport the proceeds to Boko Haram in their hideouts.”
Abdullahi said that the command was
working with other security agencies to curtail all Boko Haram
activities, their sympathisers and collaborators in the country.
