NSCDC arraigns two suspected Boko Haram members in Niger
The Niger State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested two suspected Boko Haram members in Minna.
The NSCDC Public Relations Officer, Ibrahim Yahaya, said the duo of Usman Al-Amin and Sanusi Ibrahim Bala were arrested at different locations in the state capital.
Yahaya said Al-Amin was under surveillance by undercover officers due to some strange behavior exhibited by him.
“The officers discovered that Al-Amin pretended to be insane during the day but reverted to his normal self at night when he would make several calls to his members elsewhere.
“Apparently unaware that he was being monitored, he would make calls at night to persons we suspected were their members. It was at this point that it became clear to us that he is not a lunatic,” the NSCDC spokesman said.
Yahaya said the suspects are presently undergoing interrogation which would aid security agents in arresting other members of the group.
