The Joint Task Force (JTF) in Kano has arrested a man suspected to be
the master trainer of Boko Haram female suicide bombers with 16 females
who were reportedly being trained for suicide operations, Daily Trust,
gathered from security sources.
It was gathered that the man
identified as Ibrahim Ibrahim was arrested in Dala LGA of Kano during a
raid by the Joint Task Force Thursday.
Daily Trust gathered that the
females were being trained to carry out suicide bombings when the JTF
raided their training ground and arrested them and their trainer.
The
just concluded Sallah celebration was marred in the state as female
suicide bombers struck at five different locations. About 30 persons
lost their lives to the female suicide bombers who were believed to be
less than 20 years old.
A security source told our correspondent
that the plan of the insurgents was to continue using the female suicide
bombers to unleash terror on people of the state. The source added that
when interrogated, the suspect disclosed that he brought the bombers
from Sambisa forest in Borno State.
“He is still being held and
interrogated by the JTF and he is cooperating with the force by
divulging vital information about their new strategy of using teenage
girls for suicide bombings. I don’t know the exact number of the girls
because one of my colleagues who participated in the operation said 13
while the other one said 16,” he said.
A top security source
confirmed the arrest but added, “You know we have carried out many
recent successful operations recent. I will not like to say much on this
latest operation.”
Spokesperson of the JTF in Kano, Captain Ikechukwu Eze, confirmed an operation in Dala local government area.
“There
was an operation in Dala where one Ibrahim Ibrahim was arrested
alongside some persons. Investigation is still on,” he said in a phone
interview.
