A Boko Haram kingpin Jarasu Shira was on Wednesday morning arrested in Damboa, Borno state.
He was arrested at a motor park at about
8.30am along with 10 other suspected members of the group who escorted
him to Damboa to connect a vehicle to Biu enroute to Lagos. They were
arrested by men of the vigilante (Civilian Joint Task Force, JTF) who
are providing support to the Nigeria military battling the militant
group.
A source who didn’t want to be named
told Daily Trust that Shira who goes by the alias Jarido is number one
on the new list of wanted men by the Nigeria military. He was disguised
in a cowboy outfit, Daily Trust further gathered.
He is believed to be the leader of the
Boko Haram militants in Damboa, Chibok and Askira Uba local government
areas of Borno state.
Suspects have been handed over to military authorities in Biu, Borno state.
