Nigerian Military Announces Arrest Of 3 Supposed Boko Haram Sponsors

The Nigerian military today announced that its soldiers have arrested three more Boko Haram sponsors and financiers. The arrest, according to the Army Headquarters followed the confessional statement made by one Mohammed Maina, who is a major supplier of drugs to the terror group earlier arrested by soldiers.

Acting Director, Army public relations, Colonel Sani Usman, who made this known in Abuja, warned members of the terror group to surrender their arms or have their selves to blame.

Usman said three other suspects namely Jikana Alhaji Goni, 29, Alhaji Musa Alhaji Modu, 37 and Alhaji Aba’ana Sule, 40, all of Hausari Ward in Maiduguri were arrested and undergoing interrogation. He said the suspects are making useful information about the operation of the group that would lead to the arrest of other members.

The Army spokesman, while assuring that peace would soon be restored to the troubled north east part of the country, warned the terrorists to surrender as the military was all out to flush them out from their strongholds, camps and enclaves.

Usman, equally called on parents, families and friends of all those involved in insurgency, to persuade them to desist and renounce their membership of the terrorist organization forthwith.

“We also wish to appeal to the good people of the North Eastern part of the country, in particular those of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States to prevail on these terrorists to renounce their evil ways immediately”, he added.
