Troops of 3 Division Nigerian
Army have intercepted and arrested some kingpins of Boko Haram. The men were
found with hard drugs and other stimulants. A statement by the spokesperson of
the Nigerian army, Sani Usman, said the men were arrested at Geidam local
government in Borno state. The statement in part reads;
"You will recall that
sometimes ago we reported that ironically most of the Boko Haram terrorists
captured by Nigerian military cannot read the Holy Qur’an, some of them cannot
even recite the first chapter- Suratuh Al-Fatiha and yet they claimed they
wanted to establish an ‘Islamic State’.
When the Nigerian military captured their bases and training camps, they
never found Qur’an or other Islamic books, what were mostly found were
ammunition, local charms, condoms and all sorts of drugs, including sex
enhancing ones in their enclaves.
The arrest of these drug
suppliers has reinforced that fact, more so as they have been making very
useful statements. The Nigerian Army would continue to do its best in the fight
against terrorism and insurgency in our country in order to make Nigeria safe
and secure. This however, requires continuous support and cooperation of the
public. We always welcome and appreciate information that could lead to the
arrest and pre-empting of Boko Haram terrorists and other criminal elements in
the society.”the statement read
