Another “Fleeing” Boko Haram Suspect Captured In Ondo

The Ondo State Police Command has confirmed the capture of one Mohammed Basha, suspected to be a member of the dreaded Boko Haram in Isua Akoko, Akoko South-East Local Government Area of the state.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Femi Joseph, disclosed on Sunday that the suspect was arrested while he was “loitering” along Isua-Ifira Akoko road by the officials of the anti-crime patrol of the command.

The PPRO further said the suspect’s strange movement and behaviour gave him away as one who is new and trying to master the area.

He said: “You know, when a person comes into a new place, there is a way he behaves, so the suspect was behaving suspiciously and that drew the attention of our men and he was picked up.”

“When the suspect was arrested, he was interrogated and he confessed that he was a member of the Boko Haram sect.

“He said his father is from Niger Republic while his mother is from Maiduguri in Borno State.

“He said when Maiduguri was hot for him he ran to Nasarawa last month and he left Nasarawa yesterday (Saturday) and came down to the South-west to hide here.

“He also confessed that one Daffo is his team leader while Shekau is still the overall leader of the group.”

While the suspect was in the protective custody of the command for further investigations, Mr. Joseph further said some items suspected to be charms were recovered from him.

The police spokesman added that the suspect would be handed over to the military when the police conclude their investigations.

The arrest is coming less than a week after the capture of Idris Ibrahim Babawo, a top Boko Haram commander, while trying to evade arrest.

It was later confirmed that Babawo was one of the most wanted members of the terror group whose activities have caused over 100,000 deaths in Northern Nigeria since 2009.
