Elaborating on how the convict was arrested, he attributed his success in capturing the logistic supplier and three top members of the Boko Haram, to his collaborative work with security agencies in Nigeria.
He further explained that Boko haram still gets the chance to attack the citizens due to the presence of Boko Haram logistic suppliers, and informants who live among the residents under hidden identity.
“In June alone, we recorded about 19 Boko Haram attacks in the state, some of these were actually repelled.
“The command came to the conclusion that the rise in attacks is due to logistics supplies and sleeper cells which are very active in the society, hence we intensified our intelligence gathering which yielded positive results,”.
