The Department of State Security Services, DSS, under the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, has arrested over 20 top Northern Boko Haram fighters, including their Unit Commandant (name withheld), in the ancient city of Kano.
The State DSS Director, Alhassan Muhammad, who confirmed the development, said the operation was conducted in just two days, and already the Commandant and his followers were helping them with useful information.
The Director, explained that the Commandant was arrested alongside 30 other suspects, while planning coordinated attacks during the Sallah festivity in Kano, and other major Northern cities.
The statement reads in part: “We have in our custody about 30 suspected Boko Haram terrorists, including a sector Commander. We arrested them at Rijiyar Zaki and Dorayi areas of Kano, in just two days.”
Muhammad added that the Commander’s arrest had dealt a heavy blow on the moves by the terrorists, to conduct major operations in and around Kano.
He said: “Our joint intelligence gathering and the synergy that existed between all the security apparatuses in Kano, give a morale booster to our giant efforts in tracking every suspicious movement, and making it highly difficult for the terrorists to make any impact.”
Muhammad said the Security Agents’ quick move had helped to avert the planned attacks on Kano, and other cities in this period of Sallah celebration.
He said arms and ammunition, as well as primed Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs, were recovered from the suspects’ hideouts.
