The Joint Military Task Force (JTF) has arrested a Yoruba man, Suleiman Mohammed, who hails from Ogbomosho, Oyo State and is allegedly operational Commander of the Boko Haram sect in Kano.

According to THEWILL, an online publication, Mohammed was detained on Friday alongside his wife and five children after a raid at Farawa Babbanlayi where the military found sophisticated weaponry. He has since been flown to Abuja.

Kano State Police Commissioner, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, who confirmed the arrest of the sect leader said no shot was fired during the raid, adding that 1000 rounds of ammunitions, 10 crates of IEDs, a riffle and 3 pistols were seized from him.

“The arrest came after a tip off from the public; and security agencies successfully arrested the top sect leader, whom we believe to be the operational commander of the sect in the state," he said.

Idris further stated that Suleiman is likely to be the person behind the series of organised deadly attacks in the state, particularly, the attack on Christian worshippers inside the BUK campus and the targeted killings of innocent persons in the state.
