Detectives have arrested 19 suspected Boko Haram
terrorists in Lagos, Enugu, Plateau, Kano and Gombe states.
The suspects were some of the commanders and frontline
members of the sect who had played active roles in its bloody campaign,
particularly in the Northeastern.
The suspects, who were arrested between July 8 and
August 24, included those that coordinated and executed suicide attacks in
Potiskum, Kano, Zaria and Jos.
The Department of State Service (DSS), broke the news
yesterday in a statement signed by its spokesman Tony Opiuyo.
One of the suspects, Usman Shuaibu (a.k.a Money),
revealed that he coordinated the attacks with N500,000 which was provided by his
Amir, Isa Ali, the DSS said.
The DSS said the terrorists have decided to spread to
other parts of the country, as a result of the pressure being put on them in
their core areas of strength in the Northeast.
