Nigerian Army Nabs Boko Haram’s Major Drugs Suppliers(Photos)

 

The Nigerian Army said its troops have

arrested some kingpins and foot soldiers

who supplies the Boko Haram terrorists

with hard drugs.

A statement released by army spokesperson,

Sani Usman, on Tuesday said the suppliers

were arrested by troops of 3 Division, after

directives by army headquarters to troops in

the North East for a thorough search of

motorists and cargoes.

 

According to the troops, it “has intercepted

and arrested some kingpins and foot soldiers of

suppliers of Boko Haram terrorists with hard

drugs and other stimulants between Depchi and

Geidam, Geidam Local Government Area in

northern part of Yobe State”.

The arrested persons, according to Mr. Usman

were also engaged in the supply of fuel in

addition to hard drugs such as Cannabis

(Indian Hemp), Chlorofone substance (AKA

Madaran suck and die) and Tramol, amongst

others.

Mr. Usman added, “You will recall that

sometimes ago we reported that ironically most

of the Boko Haram terrorists captured by

Nigerian military cannot read the Holy Qur’an,

some of them cannot even recite the first

chapter- Suratuh Al-Fatiha and yet they claimed

they wanted to establish an ‘Islamic State’.

“When the Nigerian military captured their bases

and training camps, they never found Qur’an or

other Islamic books, what were mostly found

were ammunition, local charms, condoms and

all sorts of drugs, including sex enhancing ones

in their enclaves.

“The arrest of these drug suppliers has

reinforced that fact, more so as they have been

making very useful statements.

“The Nigerian Army would continue to do its

best in the fight against terrorism and

insurgency in our country in order to make

Nigeria safe and secure.

 

“This however, requires continuous support and

cooperation of the public. We always welcome

and appreciate information that could lead to

the arrest and pre-empting of Boko Haram

terrorists and other criminal elements in the

society.”
