Boko Haram: Brave Taxi Driver Arrested For Reporting Suicide Bomber In Maiduguri by ijustdey: 10:04am On Jul 14, 2015
Residents of Maiduguri, the Borno State capital have faulted the arrest of a brave Taxi driver, Rabiu Usman, popularly known as Billejo, who reported to security his suspicion of one of his passengers that turned out to be a suicide bomber.

A resident who spoke on the matter said “it is very unfortunate that instead of commending his effort at saving lives he was arrested by the military at Sector six and subsequently moved to Maimalari military cantonment at about 6:00pm on Monday”.

It could be recalled that the taxi driver while heading for Maiduguri with his passengers was stopped by another passenger. On getting to a security checkpoint, he reported his suspicion before the bomber detonated himself.

Residents said there are strong fears that he might be victimised despite his gallantry effort by exposing the insurgent, thereby saving lives, a situation which might discourage residents from reporting any suspicious movement around them.

FTC dedicated to my treasure for buying me a new phone today citing that i disgraced her yesterday. THIS IS VERY BAD, IT MAY DISCOURAGE OTHER PEOPLE FROM GIVING INFORMATION CONCERNING THE SECT.

The circumstance made his arrest reasonable. Hopefully he will be released after investigations.

The military knows what they doing so you guys should just shut up already

Not as if they gonna kill him or jail him

They must investigate and probe him a little bit

Arresting a patriotic Nigerian whose actions saved lots of lives is a very bad move. How do they expect others to report suspicious activities when they know they might be arrested.

Don't rule out the informant from the crime. Standard military procedure I guess.

He can't just go like that, he needs to answer some few questions.

[size=18pt]Why[/size]
Instead of encouraging more of it...
This is security situation, though, so allow them do their work.
They must have noticed something suspicious.
[size=18pt]like...[/size]
Why would you ride with death in the first place?
Maybe they were assuming he brought them in and
was trying to exonerate himself by mischievously
alerting them.

Lots of logic sha

Enjoying a ride with a suicide bomber? My foot!

I dont think thats an arrest. Defntly he will be interrogated na.
Okkk what if maybe he has a connection with the suicised bomber?
What if he only cried out simply coz they got to a checkpoint where he knew for sure the car wud b searched?

It's the right thing to do. Not like he's been arrested.

I think he has to answer some few questions before they allow him to go.

Body language speaks louder. I know the way he was arrested wasn't the "let's go the barracks for more info". They prolly pointed their guns at him and threw him into their hilux vans and sped off

I don't think they did the wrong thing. Nobody knows who is who now. And he's definitely not arrested for prosecution.

Make una chill abeg ... we Nigerians are too fast in judging our security operatives.

It is just normal for him to be taken-in ........... This whistleblower has to be debriefed and protected .... infact He may be given further Intelligence assignments that can help the JTF to flush Bokoharam.

If he is not taken in He may be killed by BH ...... abi , You just expect the army to let him go after such a huge information .... No no no !!!!
