Boko Haram Suspect Turns Out To Be Nigerian Soldier
Category: Nigerian National News
Some months ago it was reported that a suspected Boko Haram member who disguised as a woman was arrested by the Nigerian Army when the army was chasing terrorists out of Baga, a photo of the disguised man, pictured above was posted on online media. The story now turns out to be that the disguised person arrested is not a Boko Haram member as reported but a member of the the Nigerian Army.
Sahara Reporters (SR) has now obtained a video which shows that the man in the video was actually a Nigerian soldier.
The 10-minute footage captures the man’s interrogation, from which it becomes clear that he was a soldier in a debriefing session with a military officer. The unnamed soldier explained that he had been in hiding after the terrorists seized their checkpoint before the Nigerian troops liberated the area.
During the questioning he spoke in pidgin English about Boko Haram sect and wondered why despite moving in masses they had never been subjected to aerial bombardment. SR attempted to contact the military officials for them to shed light on why the the story had been introduced as the capture of a Boko Haram terrorist, but their efforts proved unsuccessful.
It is worth noting that cases of suspected insurgents dressing as women have been recorded more than once in the northeast of the country ravaged by Boko Haram attacks.
Earlier this year the Nigerian troops arrested a suspected militant in an unusual outfit in Yola. Under the interrogation the man confessed he was a member of the Boko Haram sect.
