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
