The Nigerian Army has announced the capture of one of the suspected Boko Haram terrorists on its wanted list, Ishaku Wardifen.
In an earlier development, on Sunday, a wanted Boko Haram terrorist, Chindo Bello, was apprehended by aviation security while boarding Aero Contractors’ airline flight to Lagos at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
According to Col. Sani Usman: “As all hands are on deck to finally defeat Boko Haram terrorists in our country, today in the morning, another declared wanted suspected Boko Haram terrorist, Ishaku Wardifen, was nabbed by vigilant troops of 23 Brigade Special Battalion at a check point in Maiha, Adamawa State.
“Preliminary interrogation revealed that the suspected terrorist is a Cameroonian citizen.
“Visual matching with photographs on the poster of the 100 declared suspected Boko Haram terrorists wanted list released by the Nigerian Army last month shows that he clearly resembles the suspect on serial number 22 on the list,” Mr. Usman said.
Mr. Usman called on people to be security conscious; “Nigerian Army would like to once more call on all citizens and all well meaning residents of our country to continue to be more vigilant and security conscious to enable us rid our great nation of the menace of terrorism and insurgency,” the army spokesman said.
