A young man believed to be Muslim Mohammed Yusuf, the son of Boko Haram’s late founder, has been arrested in Chad along with five other suspected jihadists, The Bureau News has gathered.

According to security sources in the Lake Chad region, the 18-year-old was allegedly heading a jihadist cell linked to the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) — a faction that emerged after splitting from Boko Haram over ideological differences.

The suspects were detained during a security operation carried out by Chadian authorities in N’Djamena.

Photographs obtained by AFP reportedly show a slim young man in a blue tracksuit — bearing a strong resemblance to the late Boko Haram founder Mohammed Yusuf — standing among five older detainees.

Although Chadian police confirmed the arrest of six terror suspects, they declined to officially identify him as the son of the former Boko Haram leader.

A Nigerian intelligence officer based in the Lake Chad region told AFP that reports from the field identified the group’s leader as Muslim Yusuf.

“The team was headed by Muslim, the youngest son of the late Boko Haram founder,” the officer said.

Sources explained that the young Yusuf was still a baby when his father was killed in a Nigerian military crackdown in 2009, during which over 800 people were reported dead.

He is also believed to be the younger brother of ISWAP leader Habib Yusuf, better known as Abu Mus’ab Al-Barnawi, who has been a major figure in the Lake Chad insurgency.

A former lieutenant of Mohammed Yusuf, who has since left the group but remains familiar with its inner workings, also confirmed the arrest, pointing out that six men were captured during the operation.

“He and the team were arrested by Chadian security. They are six in number,” he said.

Chadian police spokesman Paul Manga told reporters in N’Djamena that those arrested were “bandits who operate in the city… undocumented and members of Boko Haram.”

The arrest comes just days after the Nigerian Government confirmed the capture of notorious Boko Haram commander Abu Baraa and his deputy Mallam Mamuda in a separate counter-terrorism operation.

Hmmm...Terror lineage! What a legacy. Jesus only is Lord...Accept Him today.

The ideology is inborn,it is very difficult to defeat ideology with violence.

They will soon release him, he a devoted Muslim, sultan Sokoto said, killing Boko haram,is like killing devoted Muslim

More cooperation and intelligence for effective crack down on those good for nothing rodents.

More wins over terrorism

Born, bred and fed fat to be a terrorist and excel in terrorism. No school or western education. His only knowledge is how to terrorize, teaching others about jihad and terrorism and its advantages. He will see his captors as infidels since all he knows in his life is terrorism and his brains revolves on terroristic activism and activities

Omo this Aboki many of his Muslim brothers

It was crazy back then. Black man thinking

Why is it that only one religion is giving everyone sleepless nights in the world? Those still in it should have a critical look at that!

President Tinubu’s choice of Nuhu Ribadu as NSA is paying off!
From smashing terror networks to curbing banditry, restoring peace in the SouthEast,and boosting oil production,Ribadu has redefined Nigeria’s security coordination.Strong leadership,smart intelligence, safer Nigeria.

I remember when the President did the unthinkable by selecting a paramilitary man as his NSA, something his predecessor has always been looking towards military for that position. With the results achieved so far within the corner of the countries, it shows we are really right for electing Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the president

If it's true that they were arrested in Le Republique du Tchad, they are as good as dead.

They just bagged a one-way ticket to Lamadji.

Those who know, know.

sensational news. the headline is misleading by admitting certainty but the story says they are not sure its him and they are not confirming if its his look alike or not. The capture of terrorists is good news any ways though....

Exactly, and e go surprise you say many people now no know Muhammed Yusuf, the founder of BH. It will also shock you many do not know the genesis of the story. I have heard very annoying accounts of boko haram stories from people, particularly on the internet that I wonder whether they were metaphorically asleep then or maybe simply they have not yet been born during the times of those events, yet they choose not to just shut up.

Like father like son

Nigeria APC led government go bring him back and grant him pardon after all he is a national an APC national asset

They think it's Nigeria where terrorists are rewarded by the government with money and empowerment.

Rip then. If it were Nigerian government that arrested them,there are many terrorist sympathizers that would have given them carrot stick

Watch how APC the terrorist party bring him back to Nigeria and make him an ambassador.

but our smart government feel they can wipe everything you listed up there by calling them REPENTED.

The best for southern Nigeria is to get their state police and give AK 47 to vigilante, the North has no hope of defeating this inborn ideology, the terrorists use the religion and money to lure the people and the Northern people are too ignorant, poor or weak to resist.

Maybe the person I quoted understands my point. If you check well, you're not the person I quoted Sir. Story is about Muhammed Yusuf but Shekau is the man in the picture. You don't think it will be misleading to some persons who do not know Yufus?

In your own words, please tell me what defeats ideology, rehabilitation right?

One by one. But it's still a tip of the iceberg. Let them name their sponsors..

Bro Sultan can't say that.

That must be a fake news.

No good Muslim will support Bokoham

Did you know that The president and the vice are muslims? They are perfoming better in the fight against terror more than Osinbajo the pastor.
Terrorist has no religion, treat criminal as criminal.
