The Boko Haram insurgency in North Nigeria has taken its toll on an innocent taxi driver who incidentally got arrested for his bravery.

In a report on Daily Post, residents of Maiduguri, Borno state, have faulted the arrest of a brave taxi driver, Rabiu Usman, popularly known as Billejo.
It was gathered that Usman reported to security his suspicion of one of his passengers that turned out to be a suicide bomber. He will however be misjudged as an ally to the terrorist group.

A resident who spoke on the matter said: “It is very unfortunate that instead of commending his effort at saving lives he was arrested by the military at Sector six and subsequently moved to Maimalari military cantonment at about 6pm on Monday.”

According to the report, Usman while heading for Maiduguri with his passengers was stopped by another passenger. On getting to a security checkpoint, he reported his suspicion before the bomber detonated himself.

Residents said there are strong fears that he might be persecuted despite his chivalry effort by exposing the insurgent, hence saving lives

oh God...thats d major problem with nigerian forces..they are too in a hurry to do the wrong things.I hope that guy will be vindicated and apologized to.

If this is true then its an aberration. This will deter others for giving the security agencies useful info.

There is no crime in investigating him.

After interogation and nothing suspicious about him, i guess they will let go of him.

We never can tell if he is involved, maybe when he sighted the check point then he changed his mind.

just imagine...

laffs, thats naija for u, later they will be talking about intelligence gathering when you are not even friendly with the masses

Our nigerian forces are not intelligent.. There is no need attaching intelligence to the military

Ok

I am of the strong opinion that there is no intelligent lifeforms in Nigeria. A cursory look at Nigerian society will confirm this.
