Vigilant troops of 7 Division Garrison
providing security at Internally Displaced
Persons (IDP) Camp, Dalori in Maiduguri
Metropolitan Council, Borno State
yesterday Tuesday afternoon apprehended
an 11-year-old boy, Master Usman Modu
Tella, a potential suicide bomber. He is
suspect number 82 on the poster
containing the photographs of 100
wanted suspected Boko Haram terrorists
released by the Nigerian Army.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the
suspect was from Bama town and is among 4
other children trained for suicide bombing by the
Boko Haram terrorists. He further added that the
3 others have already carried out their missions
at different locations. His job was to do same in
the camp sometime in the future.
The boy also pointed out one other Boko Haram
senior member, Alhaji Kerewu Abubakar at the
camp. It will be recalled that due to the
concerted efforts of the military quite a number
of towns and villages hitherto held by the Boko
Haram terrorists were liberated, this brought
about an unprecedented influx of IDPs to the
camp which the terrorists took advantage and
infiltrate in order to wreck more havoc among
the society.
The case of these suspects clearly indicated this
point hence the need for proper screening of all
IDPs with a view to ascertain their true identity.
The apprehension of the suspects is a boost to
the fight against terrorism and insurgency in
that they were assisting with investigation that
would lead to the arrest of more suspected
terrorists in the camp and elsewhere.
You are please requested to disseminate this
information to the public through your medium.
Thank you for your kind and usual cooperation.
