Security operatives in Nigeria carried out a successful raid yesterday against the sect’s leaders in Kano.In what appeared to be a significant victory by Nigerian security operatives against the Boko Haram militant group, top commanders of the sect were arrested on Sunday.
It was gathered that sources in the State Security Service, SSS, say Abu Qaqa, the sect’s spokesman and other top commanders were arrested when the Kano State Joint Task Force- JTF, carried out a sweeping raid on the sect’s hide-outs in Kano.
The Kano Joint Task Force has confirmed the raid and the arrests but could not confirm the identity of the arrested Boko-Haram leaders. However, information gathered from independent sources confirms that the sect’s spokesman, Abu Qaqa was one of those arrested.
We hope they would not also escape from custody like Kabiru Sokoto - believed to be a member of the Islamist sect who escaped from Police as they were attempting to search his house in 18 January 2012?
