reaching Brainnews has it that Borno Commandant of the Nigerian
Security and Civil Defence Corps(NSCDC), Ibrahim Abdullahi said one of
the two female Boko Haram bombers nabbed by the command is the wife of
Mamman Nur, a factional leader of the terrorist group. The teenager who
was identified as Fatima Muhammed Kabir, was arrested recently, along
with another woman, Amina Salihu at Borno Express Motor Park. Their
mission was to carry out an Improvised Explosive Device attack in
Maiduguri, the women disclosed during interrogation.
Ibrahim disclosed that an NSDCC official who posed as a captured Boko Haram Amir was the one that interviewed the women.
The
commandant spoke at the commissioning of the newly donated equipment by
the U.S Department of state on Wednesday in Maiduguri. Ibrahim said
many Boko Haram members have surrendered their arms and renounced their
campaign of terror, through the command’s civil approach to issues.
“More than 40 Boko Haram members have surrendered through the command.
We have handed them over to the military for rehabilitation under the
Operation Safe Corridor. “We are able to convince them to surrender
their arms and accept meaningful de-radicalisation and reintegration
opportunity offered them by the government. “During their stay in the
command, they said they are now praying five times in a day as against
when they are fighting in the forest,” he said. Ibrahim said his command
enjoys harmonious working relationship with its sister security
agencies in the counter terrorism operation. Ibrahim added that more
than 1,000 personnel are currently deployed in the counter terrorism
operations in the Northeast, along with other security agencies in the
state.
