These are the faces of some of the people
causing terror in Nigeria. These 17 men you see
above are Fulani Herdsmen who were recently
captured by the military. They were part of the
group that terrorized residents in Benue,
Nasarawa, Taraba and Zamfara recently. They
also took part in the recent killing of hundreds of people and burning of houses in Wukari, Taraba state.
After their capture, they confessed to
being members of the Boko Haram sect.
The military released the pic above and a
statement signed by the Director of Defence
Information, Major General Chris Olukolade. Find
it below...
"A group of terrorists operating under the
guise of herdsmen from a camp in the
outskirt of Wukari have been arrested, while
others died after an attack on military
check point at Gindin Dorowa, a suburb of
Wukari in Taraba State". Continue...
Other members of the group were sighted
in the course of air surveillance and later
trailed to their camp where they engaged
the troops in a battle.
The terrorists were clad in the usual pattern
of dress of their counterparts operating in
Borno and Yobe States"."One of the
apprehended armed men confessed that he
had been fighting for the terrorist group in
Borno State and was recently brought to
Wukari area in furtherance of their
mission"."Assorted arms and ammunition
were recovered from them.
Meanwhile, the curfew imposed on Wukari
and its environs is expected to be relaxed
as normalcy returns to the town. Troops
have maintained patrol of the area while a
house-to-house search for arms is
ongoing"."In another development, troops
on patrol of the Lake Chad Islands have
made some arrests"."Among those arrested
was a boat operator who ferries terrorists
across the Lake Chad while another
confessed to being a supplier of hard drugs
to the terrorist groups in the area.
In the meantime, the search for the
abducted students of Government Girls'
Secondary School, Chibok is also being
intensified".
