The Joint Task Force in Kano has arrested a suspected member of
the Boko Haram sect at the residence of the son of late former Head of State,
Sanni Abacha, Mohammed.
Saturday PUNCH gathered
that the suspect, who is a domestic aide of Abacha, was arrested on Wednesday
afternoon by a combined team of JTF men, who stormed Mohammed’s Government
Reserved Area residence in Nasarawa Local Government Area of the state.
A
source said that a suspected member of the sect earlier arrested in Borno State
led the team of security operatives to the residence.
It
was gathered that the security operatives got to Mohammed’s residence while the
residents were observing prayers, and waited for them to finish their prayers
before making the arrest.
According
to the source, the security operatives asked residents to lie down and then
brought out the suspected Boko Haram member, who was in their custody, to
identify the domestic aide out of the residents.
The
suspected sect member, who led JTF to Mohammed’s residence was said to be in
handcuffs, but while the identification process was ongoing, the domestic aide
reportedly tried to escape by attempting to jump over the fence. His move was,
however, not successful as he was apprehended by the security operatives.
At
the time of writing this report, the name of the suspect had yet to be
disclosed; even though, the JTF confirmed the incident to Saturday PUNCH.
