| [TRIBUNE.NG] THE arrest of a terrorist who claimed to be a Cameroonian and an arms courier for the dreaded 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... sect has led to the discovery of a large cache of arms and ammunition hidden on the premises of a burnt church in Borno State. The weapons, which have now been recovered by troops, include anti-aircraft guns, Rocket-Propelled Grenades (RPGs) as well as General-Purpose and other brands of machine guns. They were found buried in the premises of one of the churches earlier burnt by snuffies in Kalabalge Local Government Area of Borno State. Major-General Chris Olukolade, the Director of Defence Information, who is on an operational tour of the troubled areas in the North-East, in company with the Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen Kenneth Minimah, and the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adeshola Amosu, said in a statement that the troops also recovered from the location thousands of rounds of ammunition and links. According to him, the middle-aged terrorist, who was one of those captured in recent raids, disclosed during interrogation that the weapons were stockpiled to be used in a pending attack on some communities around Nigeria-Cameroon border. Olukolade disclosed that the weapons have all been evacuated, while guard locations and patrols are being maintained in the general area and surrounding localities. He added that troops on Friday continued with various operations assigned to the formations involved in the counter-terrorist campaigns, and that "the caves of a particular mountain captured overnight is undergoing a thorough search for snuffies who are believed to have fled there in the wake of the ongoing offensive on various terrorist enclaves." |
