Raids by security forces in Niger’s Diffa region over a two day period have led to the arrest of over 160 Boko Haram suspects, including Adil Doro, who police claim is “involved in the recruitment of (Boko Haram) members.”
Yakubu Sumana Gawo, governor Diffa region said some of the suspects were arrested while on the run from military force or in “their hiding places.”
Members of the Nigerien police’s anti-terrorism unit are interrogating the suspects, all of them Niger citizens, Naijalog has learnt.
Meanwhile, Cameroonian security operatives are also believed to have over hundreds of suspected Boko Haram militants in their custody.
Unconfirmed reports suggests more than 1,000 alleged terrorists are being held in a central prison in the town of Maroua.
However, Col. Joseph Nouma, commander of Cameroon’s special military operation targeting terrorists, offered a more conservative number of more than 600 detained.
What are the Nigerian & Cameroon troops waoting for? Kill them as they have done to others. They will break away from jail if they arrest and keep them in Prison custody! They are unrepentant and of no use to our Nation Nigeria
