A
terrorists’ intelligence cell headed by a businessman who participated actively
in the abduction of School Girls in Chibok has been busted by troops.
The man, Babuji Ya’ari who is also a member of the Youth Vigilante Group popularly
known as Civilian JTF which he uses as cover while remaining an active
terrorist, also spearheaded the murder of the Emir of Gwoza. His main
role in the group is to spy and gather information for the terrorists group.
He
has been coordinating several deadly attacks in Maiduguri since 2011, including
the daring attacks on Customs and military locations as well as the planting of
IEDs in several locations in the town.
The
arrest of the businessman who is known to deal in tricycles has also yielded
some vital information and facilitated the arrest of other members of the
terrorists’ intelligence cell who are women. One of them, Hafsat Bako had
earlier escaped to Gombe State to avoid suspicion but was tracked and arrested.
Prior to her arrest, Hafsat coordinated the payment of other operatives on the
payroll of the group. In her confession, she disclosed that a
minimum of N10,000 is paid to each operative depending on the enormity of his
task.
Another
female suspect named Haj Kaka who doubles as an armourer and a spy for the
terrorists group has also been arrested, the Director of Defence Information,
Major General Chris Olukolade stated in a press release.
