A SUSPECTED Boko Haram member on the list of wanted 100 terrorists whose photographs and names were recently released by the military was arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Sunday, November 8.
Chindo Bello, the suspect, was arrested by the aviation security of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN.
Bello was arrested while attempting to obtain his boarding pass for an Aero Contractor airline flight to Lagos. He is currently being interrogated by the military intelligence.
The arrest of Bello was the second in recent times at the Abuja Airport, coming less than two months after a combined team of the military and the FAAN officials nabbed a young man said to be monitoring movements at the airport for Boko Haram.
Confirming the arrest in a statement, Sani Usman, a colonel and director of Army public relations, said: “The declaration of 100 suspected Boko Haram terrorists has started to pay the desired dividend as one of them was arrested as he attempted to flee.”
Usman commended those he described as eagle-eyed, patriotic security agents and good citizens for the tip-off that led to the arrest of the suspect.
The Army spokesman also reiterated the need for all well-meaning Nigerians and those residing “in our great country to be more vigilant and assist security agencies with information about the declared wanted terrorists, their sponsors and other criminals in our midst.”
