A terrorists’ intelligence cell headed by a
businessman who participated actively in the abduction of schoolgirls in
Chibok, Borno State 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 m****r of the Emir of Gwoza. His main role in the
group is to spy and gather information for the terrorists group.
Babuji has been co-ordinating 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 fled 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. Until their arrest, all the suspects actively operated a
terrorists’ intelligence cell in collaboration with others still at
large.
In another development, troops deployed in
Goniri, Yobe State, over the weekend, had an encounter with terrorists,
resulting in casualties on both sides after the attack was successfully
repelled.
