BEVERLY HILLS, November 14, (THEWILL) – The Nigerian Army on Saturday confirmed the arrest of another suspected Boko Haram terrorist, whose picture was released alongside 99 others on the Army’s wanted list of terrorists.
A Saturday statement by the acting Army spokesman, Col. Sani Usman said the suspect was arrested by the Department of State Services at the Moduganari area of Maiduguri metropolis in Borno.
The Army attributed the development to the recent publication of some pictures of the terrorists’ top commanders.
“Following the release of the poster containing photographs of 100 suspected Boko Haram terrorists, security agencies and the public have intensified search for them.
“The renewed zeal has been yielding the desired result as the Borno State Command of Department of State Services (DSS) arrested another suspected high profile Boko Haram terrorist, Danladi Abdullahi, at Moduganari area of Maiduguri metropolis.
“Although, he is still being investigated, it has been positively established that he is suspect number 26 on the list of the declared suspected Boko Haram terrorists issued by the Nigerian Army last month,” the statement said.
Authorities had some days back detained two leaders on the most wanted list.
