THE National
Information Centre (NIC) has confirmed the arrest of a suspected Boko Haram
accomplice and informant, Hafsat Bako.
The arrest was confirmed in a post on the Facebook page of the
National Orientation Agency (NOA).
Minister of State For Defence, Mr Musiliu Obanikoro, also
confirmed the arrest via his Twitter handle @MObanikoro.
Director of Defence Information, Major General Chris Olukolade,
also confirmed the arrest of a businessman, Babuji Ya’ari, based in Maiduguri,
Borno State, who allegedly helped the insurgents plan several attacks and
murders under the cover of a pro-government vigilance group, Civil JTF,
fighting Boko Haram.
Two women were also arrested, with one accused of coordinating
payments to other “operatives.”
Olukolade said Ya’ari used his membership of the Civilian JTF
“as a cover, while remaining an active terrorist.”
