Two Boko Haram suspects, Audu Umar and Hassan Umar, have been arrested by the Nigerian Army for ‘smuggling themselves’ among the Internally Displaced People (IDPs) that were relocated from Pulka to Gwoza IDPs Camp in Borno state.

The male suspects, who were apprehended on Saturday, are currently undergoing interrogation by the military and intelligence operatives.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson of Operation Lafiya Dole in the North-East, Air Commodore Dele Alonge, said on Sunday, that the military cannot confirm the arrest of a Boko Haram kingpin, popularly known as Bashir Sarkin Yanka, which in Hausa means “Bashir the King of Slaughter.”

Civilian JTF in Konduga local government Area of Borno, had claimed to have arrested a certain Bashir, who has been posing as Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau in some videos on the social media.

Alonge however, said: “As you are aware, the Nigerian military has succeeded in routing out terrorists from some of their hideouts in the North-East and in the process some were eliminated and others have been arrested. We cannot at the moment provide the identities of those in our custody or in other places until after we have conducted thorough investigations.”
