Army Arrests Immigration Officer, Others Over Boko Haram Links by mkmyers45(m): 8:32pm On Sep 29, 2012 |
The Nigeria Army has arrested an immigration officer and a number of other officials for allegedly helping the Boko Haram carry out a number of attacks According to a BBC report, the military captured the immigration officer, who confessed to being an active member of the Islamist militant group. His confession led to the arrest of a number of other officials. According to Lt Colonel Sagir Musa, the immigration official was arrested last month while impersonating an army officer. "He confessed to being an active member of the Boko Haram terrorist sect," said Col Musa. "He also confessed to having been trained alongside 15 other members of the sect on weapon handling, assassination and special operations in Niger." Col Musa said his testimony helped the military root out a number of others who had carried out attacks for Boko Haram. Some months ago President Goodluck Jonathan had complained that the group had sympathisers in high placesSource: http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/army-arrests-immigration-officer-others-over-boko-haram-links/126376/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter |
