According to The Herald newspaper,
no fewer than 56 members of the dreaded Boko Haram Islamist sect were
arrested by military authorities in Borno State after they were
tipped off by civilians who saw them moving from village to village
in search of food.
Director of Defence Information, Brigadier-General
Chris Olukolade, who disclosed this said that some of the members
were moving around in a Toyota Land Cruiser Jeep with registration
number Borno XA 428 ADM, suspected to have been stolen, and were
arrested at Daban Masara village while looking for food.
Weapons such
as AK-47 rifles, single-barrel shotgun, double-hand shotgun and
various calibres of arms, seven packs of Improvised Explosive Devices
(IED), two rocket-propelled gun chargers, two machetes, bomb
detonators, camouflage and other military uniforms including charms,
seven vehicles and eight tricycles were recovered from the suspects.
This is a strategy the Federal
Government must now applied. Cut off their food supply and they
either come out or starve. It works.
