The
Joint Task Force (JTF) in Kano has arrested a man suspected to be the
master trainer of Boko Haram female suicide bombers with 16 females who
were reportedly being trained for suicide operations.
According to reports, the man identified as Ibrahim Ibrahim was arrested in Dala LGA of Kano during a raid by the Joint Task Force Thursday.
Daily Trust reports that the females were being
trained to carry out suicide bombings when the JTF raided their training
ground and arrested them and their trainer.
The just concluded Sallah celebration was marred in the state as
female suicide bombers struck at five different locations. About 30
persons lost their lives to the female suicide bombers who were believed
to be less than 20 years old.
“He is still being held and interrogated by the JTF and he is
cooperating with the force by divulging vital information about their
new strategy of using teenage girls for suicide bombings. I don’t know
the exact number of the girls because one of my colleagues who
participated in the operation said 13 while the other one said 16,” he
said.
A top security source confirmed the arrest but added, “You know we
have carried out many recent successful operations recent. I will not
like to say much on this latest operation.”
Spokesperson of the JTF in Kano, Captain Ikechukwu Eze, confirmed an operation in Dala local government area.
