Boko Haram Second In Command Arrested In Abuja by Kface4you: 1:35pm On Jul 24, 2017 |
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command have arrested a prime Boko Haram suspect at Gwako Village in Abuja. The suspect, 20 year old Seth Yakubu who hails from Obi in Nasarawa state, was arrested at about 11.30 am on Sunday after police received a tip-off on his suspicious behaviour in the village. According to the FCT Commissioner of Police, Musa Kimo, the suspect while confessing to his membership of Boko Haram said he escaped to the village from Sambisa Forest after their hideout was dislodged by the Nigeria Airforce through a major air-strike about a week ago. Yakubu, who served as second in command in his beat in the deadly sect, further stated that he left Maiduguri on Friday 21st July 2017 and arrived Gwako village on Saturday 22nd July 2017 at about 10pm to conceal his identity and seek refuge. The suspect said he was lured into joining the Boko Haram terrorists group by a young man who approached him with a promise of an automatic employment into the Nigerian Army only to end up with the sect group. He said he was given a form to fill and thinking the job was real, he completed the form only to be taken to an unknown depot where he and some others received training. Yakubu also confessed that apart from being the second in command in his unit, he actively participated in several deadly attacks launched by the group against innocent citizens. In the meantime, the FCT Police boss has enjoined residents of the FCT and environs to be vigilant and always report any strange and suspicious person or persons, or activity to the police. “The Command wishes to also advise community leaders to guard against habouring strangers, especially those whose mission to the community is not clear. “Upon the identification of any strange face in a community, the nearest police formation can be alerted or the FCT police Command emergency helplines-lines and they are 08032003913, 08061581938, 07057337653 and 08028940883” the CP said. |

vedaxcool: It's the same northerner who embezzled the money... Dazuki is a northerner... GEJ did his best to ensure that peace is restored...but northerners frustrated his government... Same northerners are going after him now with several allegations... Buhari claimed he will lead the war from the front... where is he now? at London... Oga leave GEJ alone... and I strongly pray another party take over from this APC so that when they're probed we'll have enough to prove!!! 1 Like 1 Share |

Kudos on his arrest but to clarify from this news article, This guy is 2nd in command of his Boko unit. Not 2nd in command to Shekau. So many such commanders were also arrested under Gej. Praying we have a lasting end to this menace |

sholatech:Thanks for the clarification. At least ipob miscreants from Abakaliki axis who don't bother to read articles before pouring spittle everywhere would read this comment and review their wailing pattern on the thread accordingly. ![]() 1 Like

[s] yanabasee:[/s] GEJ hero of thieves has been fingered as being the one that gave Dasuki the directives to share the money meant for weaponry for his reelection. You can decide to lie and fool yourself but leave me out of it. |
