Two suspected members of Boko Haram sect who disguised as members of the
Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’a Wa’iqamitis Sunna (JIBWIS) First Aid Group
based in Zaria, Kaduna state, have been arrested and handed over to the
police. Daily Trust reports that the Police Area Commander in charge of
Zaria headquarters, Muhammad D. Shehu, confirmed the arrest and said
the suspects will be transferred to the police state command.
"The first suspect was caught fully dressed in our uniform. Members of
our First Aid Group (‘Yan Agaji) have their uniform. Following the
military’s advice, we have introduced certain security measures. Through
those measures, our members can identify themselves anywhere they meet.
This was how we arrested the suspect and handed him over to the police.
On investigation, it was discovered that the first suspect was
operating under the leadership of one Hassan Mahauci who resides in
Maigana, Soba local government. Of recent, the leader of our First Aid
Group in Soba local government was matcheted to death. Therefore, the
arrest of these suspects made us to believe that it was Boko Haram that
killed him. We would continue to be vigilant and we want to advise all
religious groups to do the same since Boko Haram have began to
infiltrate our First Aid Groups.”he said
