A middle-aged man suspected to be one of the fleeing Boko Haram members have been arrested by officials of a security agency recently established by the Abuja Municipal Area Council, popularly known as AMAC Marshal.


In a statement issued on Tuesday night, December 27, by Kingsley Madaki, the spokesman of the AMAC Marshal, the suspect who gave his name as Usman, was apprehended around 4.30pm at Utako market shortly after he arrived the premises.

The suspect was apprehended “with a Qur’an and a chaplet on his neck while trying to lobby people in the market”.

However, the statement said the suspected Boko Haram member “confessed that there are many of his colleagues in the city”.


It could be recalled that an unnamed Boko Haram commander was arrested in the Ikorodu area of Lagos on Saturday, December 24.
