According to a statement by the Defence headquaters, the major
facilitator of the Chibok girls kidnap has been arrested ..The statement
by Major General Chris Olukolade, Director Defence Information reads
A
terrorists’ intelligence cell headed by a businessman who participated
actively in the abduction of School Girls in Chibok has been busted by
troops. The man, Babuji Ya’ari who is also a member of the Youth
Vigilante Group popularly known as Civilian JTF which he uses as cover
while remaining an active terrorist, also spearheaded the murder of the
Emir of Gwoza. His main role in the group is to spy and gather
information for the terrorists group.
Babuji
has been coordinating several deadly attacks in Maiduguri since 2011,
including the daring attacks on Customs and military locations as well
as the planting of IEDs in several locations in the town.
The
arrest of the businessman who is known to deal in tricycles has also
yielded some vital information and facilitated the arrest of other
members of the terrorists’ intelligence cell who are women. One of
them, Hafsat Bako had earlier escaped to Gombe State to avoid suspicion
but was tracked and arrested. Prior to her arrest, Hafsat coordinated
the payment of other operatives on the payroll of the group. In her
confession, she disclosed that a minimum of N10,000 is paid to each
operative depending on the enormity of his task.
Another
female suspect named Haj Kaka who doubles as an armourer and a spy for
the terrorists group has also been arrested. Until their arrest, all
the suspects actively operated a terrorists’ intelligence cell in
collaboration with others still at large.
In
another development, troops deployed in Goniri, Yobe State, over the
weekend, had an encounter with terrorists, resulting in casualties on
both sides after the attack was successfully repelled.
