Augustine Effiong, 25, an indigene of Akwa Ibom
State, who is popularly known as Abubakar Garba
said on Monday that he helped carry out deadly
attacks on April 29 at church services in the old
campus of the Bayero University, Kano (BUK) and
admitted belonging to the extremist group, Boko
Haram in his confession to police.
The State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Idris who
disclosed this in a press statement made available to
reporters said that, Mr Effiong had confessed to be
one of those behind the attack on Christian
worshipers at BUK.
Mr Effiong, though an indigene of Akwa Ibom was
born and brought up at Maiduguri before he later
converted to Islam. The police said, “he has been
transferred to Abuja for discreet investigations”.
The command said Mr Effiong was arrested over an
attempt to murder a civilian at Danlasan Village in
Warawa Local Government Area of Kano state.
During the preliminary investigation, the suspect, a
resident of Bulunkutu Abuja Quarters in Maiduguri
confessed to have relocated to the Kano state last
April.
“He confessed to have participated in a series of
attacks, killing of policemen and military personnel in
the state (Kano), including the recent attack and
killings in Bayero University Kano (BUK),” the police
said.
Attackers with bombs and guns opened fire at church
services at BUK last month and killed about 20
people including two professors as worshippers tried
to flee.
“I was involved in the attack at BUK,” he told
reporters in Hausa.
He further confessed to being part of a “20-man killer
squad” charged with targeting the security services
around Kano.
Boko Haram has repeatedly targeted the security
services in Kano and has claimed attacks that have
killed more than 1,000 people since mid-2009.
“I killed many people, including five soldiers at
checkpoints,” in Kano, Mr Effiong said. |
