DSS Arrests University Student Who Recruits Nigerians For The ISIS Terrorist Group
Category: Terrorism News
In a statement issued on behalf of the DSS by Mr. Tony Opuiyo, the agency said Yunusa had completed arrangements to join an ISIS terrorist training camp in Libya.
The terrorist suspect, who is an undergraduate of the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State, had equally planned to travel out of the country with some Nigerians whom he had recruited for the grisly activities of the terrorist group.
The statement read in part: “His arrest was sequel to available intelligence which indicated his terrorist antecedents and covert drive to indoctrinate and recruit susceptible youths in the country. Prior to his arrest, Yunusa had completed arrangements to embark on a journey to join an ISIS terrorist training camp in Libya, with other Nigerians whom he recruited for the ‘Islamic State’.
“These recruits include the trio of one Muhammed Rabi’u, Yahaya Momoh Jimoh and a female, Zainab Sunday.
“He was subsequently radicalised and became a member of an extremist cell, comprising of one Ibrahim (FNU) and Abubakar Ligali, whom he revealed are currently undergoing terrorist training in Libya. He listed one Aminu (FNU) and Ibrahim Jihadi (Nigerien), as other ISIS agents operating in Nigeria and the West African sub-region. The cell was being funded by one Abu-Sa’ad Al Sudani, a media expert with the extremist group using Western Union money transfers to fund the terrorist cell agenda.”
Opuiyo said that these recent operations had significantly degraded the key extremist groups and kidnapping gangs, terrorising innocent citizens in the country, particularly in the South-West, North-West and Middle Belt regions of the Federation.
The DSS further said that another budding extremist cell affiliated to ISIS, in Daura township of Daura LGA of Katsina State, was intercepted by its operatives last month.

The DSS said that “within the window of these tactical operations, between the month of December 2015 and February 2016, the Service, busted the network of syndicated kidnap gangs spanning different regions in the country, especially Kebbi, Zamfara, Niger, Nasarawa, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Oyo and Osun states. Foremost in this line, was the arrest of a gang of five kidnappers, Abubakar Hassan, Usman Musa, Usman Adamu and Idrisa Babangida Ahmadu at Ife junction, Osun State on 3rd February, 2016.
“Another breakthrough in the fight against kidnapping was the killing of Abubakar Mohammed (aka Buba), and an unidentified member of his group, on 8th February, 2016 close to Jebba Medical Centre, Jebba, Kwara State by security operatives as they tried to escape during a shootout with security operatives.
“Mohammed was a notorious kidnap kingpin known for his brutality and various acts of lawlessness. It is disheartening that this criminal and his men had terrorised, to no end, residents of the South West zone. He was also linked to the kidnap of the elder statesman, Chief Olu Falae, in Ondo State,” the statement said.

The Department of State Services (DSS), on Tuesday gave insights into
its continued assault on suspected terrorists and others who work with
international terror groups such as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
(ISIS).
Among others, the DSS disclosed that it had nabbed in Kano, one Abdulsalam Enesi Yunusa, who recruits terrorists for ISIS.
In a statement issued on behalf of the DSS by Mr. Tony Opuiyo, the agency said Yunusa had completed arrangements to join an ISIS terrorist training camp in Libya.
The terrorist suspect, who is an undergraduate of the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State, had equally planned to travel out of the country with some Nigerians whom he had recruited for the grisly activities of the terrorist group.
The statement read in part: “His arrest was sequel to available intelligence which indicated his terrorist antecedents and covert drive to indoctrinate and recruit susceptible youths in the country.

Opuiyo said that these recent operations had significantly degraded the key extremist groups and kidnapping gangs, terrorising innocent citizens in the country, particularly in the South-West, North-West and Middle Belt regions of the Federation.
The DSS further said that another budding extremist cell affiliated to ISIS, in Daura township of Daura LGA of Katsina State, was intercepted by its operatives last month.
The DSS said one Ibrahim Mohammed Daura, Zaharadeen Salisu and five
other elements of the proscribed extremist group, Ansaru, were
rounded-up by the service.

They were alleged to be coordinating themselves for attacks in Katsina and Kano states.
Similarly, on January 22, 2016, one Obansa Salami, Ejide Tijani aka Abu
Uwaise II, Mohammed Rabiu aka Ubida II, Zainab Mohammed and
Abdulqadir Salisu Ahmad were arrested in Kano by the DSS while
migrating to Libya, with their immediate families including infants,
in a bid to join ISIS.
The DSS said that “within the window of these tactical operations, between the month of December 2015 and February 2016, the Service, busted the network of syndicated kidnap gangs spanning different regions in the country, especially Kebbi, Zamfara, Niger, Nasarawa, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Oyo and Osun states. Foremost in this line, was the arrest of a gang of five kidnappers, Abubakar Hassan, Usman Musa, Usman Adamu and Idrisa Babangida Ahmadu at Ife junction, Osun State on 3rd February, 2016.
“On 5th February, 2016, the fifth member of the gang, Saidu Isyaku was
arrested at Ojo area, Oyo State. These kidnappers, six AK 47 rifles,
five magazines and about 1,000 rounds of ammunition were recovered.
This gang has been active in the South West axis of the country and was
at advanced stages of kidnapping high value targets for huge ransom,
before they were intercepted.
“Another breakthrough in the fight against kidnapping was the killing of Abubakar Mohammed (aka Buba), and an unidentified member of his group, on 8th February, 2016 close to Jebba Medical Centre, Jebba, Kwara State by security operatives as they tried to escape during a shootout with security operatives.
“Mohammed was a notorious kidnap kingpin known for his brutality and various acts of lawlessness. It is disheartening that this criminal and his men had terrorised, to no end, residents of the South West zone. He was also linked to the kidnap of the elder statesman, Chief Olu Falae, in Ondo State,” the statement said.
The DSS urged Nigerians to be vigilant and report any suspicious
persons/groups or activities to relevant security agencies for necessary
action.
