CONTRARY to the image of invincibility woven around the Islamic
terror group, Boko Haram in the media, the sect was not thoroughly
organised and may be routed by security agencies with another major
arrest, a reliable top source within the security apparatus in Abuja,
disclosed yesterday.
According to the source, Boko Haram was no longer as powerful as it
used to be, before the arrest of its spokesman, Abu Qaqa and one of its
foot soldiers, Kabiru Sokoto, whose arrest had led operatives of the
Department of State Services (DSS) to the arrest of several other
members of the group who were in their planning council.
Revealing that from the statements and intelligence gathered from the
arrested members, the SSS was close to routing the group completely
out of Nigeria, the source said: “We are on the winning side. We are
very close to wiping them out completely as most of their top planners
are already in our custody.
“It is however lamentable that much of the information being
published on this group concerning their revelations were not correct.
This group is not as organized as it is being portrayed in the press.
I must tell you that if it were a very organized group, someone like
Kabiru, would not be in Nigeria after he had escaped from the Police the
first time. These boys who are being used for the attacks were only
errand boys who were getting only feeding money. Kabiru was selling
recharge card and even when he was re-arrested he had nothing
significant. He was only bathed and dressed up by the Service in order
to present him to the Press. Certainly we are almost through with them.
With just one more arrest, Boko Haram will cease to exist.”
