Nigerian army has cleared Boko Haram suspect, Abubakar Sadiq who was mistakenly arrested earlier as one of the 100 people declared by the army as wanted Boko Haram terrorists.

In a statement signed by Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, Acting Director Army Public Relations, Sadiq was arrested in Maiduguri on the assumption that he was suspect number 28 on the wanted Boko Haram terrorists lists. 

Read the statement below.....

The Joint Investigation Committee in Maiduguri has cleared Abubakar Sadiq earlier arrested as one of the 100 wanted Boko Haram terrorists. It will be recalled that Mr Abubakar Sadiq, a security guard at the residence of Mohammed Daggash in Maiduguri, was arrested based on the assumption that he was suspect number 28 on the wanted Boko Haram terrorists lists. 

However, a thorough investigation carried out, as well as new Boko Haram terrorists video clip acquired and the employment of forensic analysis, the committee conclusively confirmed that it was a case of mistaken identity.

The erroneously arrested person has since been released to his family. The investigation further showed that Daggash family have nothing to do with the incident or associated with any security breach in Borno State.

Demmocrats:
The army is on a rampage, misidentify shooting next.

omenka:
Such a painful experience. It takes very little persuasion for folks like this to take up arms and join the terrorists. I'm sure there are others like him going through a similar experience.

He should sue them sore emotional, physical and reputational damages.
