The Nigerian Army has arrested a suspected Boko Haram sponsor, Aliyu
Hussaini, who was also said to be pretending to be military brigadier
general.
Military authorities said in a statement on Tuesday that
Hussaini was apprehended by soldiers of the 33rd Artillery Brigade in
Bauchi State during the course of a raid.
“The 33 Artillery
Brigade, Nigerian Army, has recorded another landmark success in the
ongoing Operation Zaman Lafiyah as troops of the brigade recently
arrested one Aliyu Hussaini, popularly known as Colonel, a suspected
Boko Haram terrorist and an Impostor who has been parading himself as a
Brigadier-General in the Nigerian Army.
“The troops, who were acting
on a tip-off, said Aliyu Hussaini was a sponsor and also a member of the
Boko Haram terrorist organisation. (They) carried out a raid operation,
which led to the successful arrest of Aliyu and another suspected Boko
Haram member, one Ibrahim Mohammed, who is also known as Yuram.
“It
was later gathered that Aliyu had been defrauding innocent citizens
(with the claim) that he was a general in the Nigerian Army.”
