Few days after a Boko Haram Commander was arrested in Ikorodu, Lagos State, a man believed to be one of the fleeing members of the Boko Haram sect has been arrested in Abuja.
He was arrested by officials of a security agency recently established by the Abuja Municipal Area Council, popularly known as AMAC Marshal in the Federal Capital Territory.
A statement issued on Tuesday night by the spokesman of the AMAC Marshal, Kingsley Madaki, said the suspect who gave his name as Usman, was apprehended at exactly 4:30 pm at Utako market shortly after he arrived the premises.
Madaki disclosed that the suspect was apprehended “with a Qur’an and a chaplet on his neck while trying to lobby people in the market.”
The statement said the suspected Boko Haram member “confessed that there are many of his colleagues in the city.”
The agency, therefore, appealed to residents of AMAC and the FCT to be vigilant and report any suspicious movement to AMAC Marshal personnel and other security agencies.
