| 2013-05-07 |
[Nigerian Tribune] THE Joint Task Force (JTF) on Operation Restore Order, on Monday, said it had jugged... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... suspected killers of war veteran, Major-General Mohammadu Shuwa, in Maiduguri, Borno State. JTF front man, Lieutenant-Colonel Sagir Musa, who stated this in a statement in Maiduguri, added that the arrest followed series of investigations by the task force. "It will be recalled that Major-General Mohammadu Shuwa was rubbed out by gunnies in front of his house in Gwange, Maiduguri, on November 12, 2012. "Preliminary investigation by the JTF has identified two key suspected Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... Islamic fascisti - Mohammed Ibn Saleh and Abdulkareem Ibrahim - as the criminal masterminds of the killing," Musa said. He added that a special operation was carried out by the JTF to get the suspected killers. "Consequently, a special operation was conducted on November 15, 2012 by the task force, with a view to arresting the culprits, which led to the death of Ibn Saleh during a shootout in a house at Bulabulin Ngarnam. "Similarly, on December 2, 2012 Abdulkareem was arrested with a fatal injury that resulted in his death on December 6, 2012. A member of the syndicate, one Bulama Bur, died on December 2, 2012 in an encounter with JTF troops," he added. He said the JTF also arrested four other members of the gang. |
