DSS Arest suspect boko haram

Nigeria’s secret police has disclosed that it had
arrested notable Boko Haram suspects, including a
key commander, linked with several suicide
attacks across the country.
The Department of State Services said in a
statement that Usman Shuiabu known as Money
and other frontline members of the hardline
Islamist group were picked up in Lagos, Kano,
Plateau, Enugu and Gombe states between July
and August.
It said the arrest of Shuaibu and other core
members of his cell had stemmed the spate of
bombings by the extremist sect.
The DSS said it would continue to work with
other stakeholders in the fight against Boko
Haram extremists.
The Islamists have carried out deadly ambushes
across Nigeria’s borders and in recent week’s
suicide bombers, many of them women, have
staged several attacks in Nigeria, Cameroon and
Chad.
Boko Haram, which is seeking to carve out a
hardline Islamic state in northeast Nigeria, has
killed some over fifteen thousand people since
2009.
