The Department of State Security Services (DSS) has revealed that it arrested some top members of the Boko Haram sect who were trying to join the Nigerian Army.
This is coming after it was discovered that Boko Haram members were planning to infiltrate security agencies and part of the plan was to insert an Improvised Explosives Devices specialist into the Army.
The DSS, in a statement issued by its spokesman Tony Opuiyo, disclosed the increasing desperation and sophistication of criminal elements, noting that about 21 suspected assassins, fraudsters, kidnappers and others have been picked up during various operations across the country.
“In response to the regrouping of Boko Haram elements in Kano State, the Service in concert with the military, carried out coordinated operations in the State which led to the apprehension of two high profile members of the sect, namely Ibrahim Ustaz Abubakar and Idris Audu (aka A.Y.A.).
“Audu is an IED specialist who was being groomed to penetrate security agencies in the country; Audu had already perfected plans to seek for recruitment into the next recruitment scheme of the Nigeria Army before his arrest.
