Nigerian Army of ‘Operation Lafiya Dole’ in the north east on Friday night made a heavy breakthrough when it arrested a Caretaker Chairman of Mafa Local Government Area of Borno state, Alhaji Shettima Lawan Maina for hiding a top Boko Haram Commander (name withheld) in his house at 1000 housing estate along Maiduguri- Damaturu- Kano road. Sources have said.
The incident according to sources living at the same estate with the Chairman did not come to them as a surprise following the capture of Sambisa Forest, a stronghold of insurgents by troops that led to so many of the terrorists escaped to various places for safety.
Mafa Local Government is east and about 40 kilometres drive from Maiduguri the state capital which had witnessed series of deadly attacks by insurgents, before it was liberated by the military early last year.
A resident and neighbours of the LG boss said, the military and some security operatives stormed the house after getting an intelligence report that the top Boko Haram commander had sneaked into the house for safety.
Already the source said, both the top Boko Haram Commander and the Chairman have been detained in a military facility to enable thorough investigation as to how a wanted terrorist will sneak into the house of the Chairman, knowing fully well, that politicians of such caliber do not usually allow access to their house of abode.
When contacted for confirmation, the Police Public Relations Officer, Victor Isuku’s phone lines were not reachable, but a top security officer who is not authorized to talk to the press confirmed the incident, stating that “The arrest and capture of the Caretaker Chairman and the wanted boko haram commander took place on Friday night following a tip off”.

2017 will be great for Buhari

Those with common sense know that the political class is involved in the whole matter. However, our leaders are acting as if all is well. In a serious society, the likes of Senator Ndume should be in jail by now

New year vibe

NAME WITHHELD. YEYE PEOPLE.

I hope they catch all of 'em boko haram sponsors. Great job NA, more power to ya elbow

he might be ignorant

Photo evidence nko

Northern Muslims and their Islamist terrorists. The North know the game they're playing in Boko haram.

APC knows something about Boko Haram.

Wonderful!

Like was found in senator ndume's place years back?hope he is made to face justice

These people are the ones doing themselves..... they are only wasting innocent soldiers life

Dem dem

Of course, there's not a way Boko Haram would have thrived for so long without funding and back-up from northern politicians. I won't be surprised when senators and governors start getting arrested. One by one will God expose and punish them all, they have too much blood on their hands.

He's part of the new year gifts. I recommend that He should be boiled & served to IDP Camp people

Hmmmmm...

Impressive!!!
