30 Shop Owners Arrested In Borno For Sponsoring Boko Haram Activities

The suspects were arrested during a raid
in Bensheikh and Mainok in the Kaga
Local Government Area of the state.
At least 30 shop owners have been
arrested in Borno State for sponsoring
the activities of terrorist sect, Boko
Haram, reports say.
The suspects were arrested during a
raid in Bensheikh and Mainok in the
Kaga Local Government Area of the
state, according to The Tribune.
A source, who chose to remain
anonymous, reportedly said that the
suspects are currently providing
information, including names of
prominent personalities, to security
officials.
The source said:
“There are going to be surprises if
President Buhari is going to act on
information at the disposal of security
agencies. The news doing the
roundabout names of personalities
involved in Boko Haram activities and
sponsorships is going to shock many
Nigerians.”
“Those arrests at Bensheikh last week
when we raided the town is already
giving signal to the fact that
prominent people are involved with
the Boko Haram activities.
These shop owners are the suppliers
of food items, money, fuel and other
needs of the Boko Haram fighters.
They also revealed how they attacked
Bensheikh town to deceive people.”
This comes as Buhari vowed that
Boko Haram would be defeated
before the end of the year.
