The State Security Service (SSS) has on Wednesday
paraded a suspected commander and a spiritual leader of
Boko Haram and four members of his cell being held by
the Service over plots to carry out attacks in Kogi state.
According to the SSS, the suspects, whose leader, Muhammad
Nazeef Yunus, an assistant lecturer in Kogi state university, were
planning to attack the Igala ethnic community.
However, Mr Muhammad Nazeef denied the allegation as an
attempt to set him up by Boko Haram because he had been
preaching against the sect's ideology.
But the other suspects insisted that he is their leader.
