Boko Haram sponsors arrested in military Borno state
The theatre commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj. Gen. Lucky Irabor, has confirmed the arrest of some Boko Haram collaborators.
Two prominent politicians and a traditional ruler affiliated with the Boko Haram group have been arrested during a military raid in Borno state.
The Sun reports that the politicians, who are known in government circle, were arrested early this week by detectives and troops from Operation Lafiya Dole, the counter-insurgency military team.
A source disclosed that one of the arrested alleged collaborators who is also an Islamic spiritualist, had fled the state when he learnt military men were on his trail.
He was however arrested along Maiduguri-Jos Road, on his way to one of the north central states.
A second suspect was said to be a thug often called ECOMOG in Borno and an aide to some politicians in the state, according to military source.
"More revelations are coming and more people may be arrested in days to come, the source said.
The arrest of the suspected Boko Haram collaborators was confirmed by the theatre commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj. Gen. Lucky Irabor.
The commander however refused to disclose the identities of the arrested persons, insisting that doing so will jeopardise investigation.
Meanwhile, the federal government has confirmed the recovery of a treasure trove of materials from the “decimated” Boko Haram, further calling on the media and the general public to be vigilant.
According to the government, the alleged decimated group has shifted its strategy towards dominating the media space, propagating a perverted version of Shariah law and giving the impression that it is still holding territory.
The government’s warning is contained in a statement by the minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
