According to PM news, a Boko Haram suspect acted as a madman narrowly escaped arrest in Buni Yadi, Gujba LGA, Yobe state.
It comes after the Nigerian military recaptured Buni Yadi from Boko Haram over the weekend.
The commander of the 27th
Task Force Brigade in Damaturu, Colonel Usman Yusuf, disclosed March 10,
yesterday, that he had ordered troops to arrest an alleged madman discovered in
one of the buildings.
PM News reports that the
soldiers immediately went after the man who was wearing a white garment and
chanting some incantations. However, the man suddenly disappeared.
The military commander
vowed to catch the suspected insurgent, who purportedly feigned insanity to
carry out his surveillance mission.
Yusuf added that 17 LGAs
had been reclaimed by the troops within the last 3 weeks. Speaking with NAN, he
described the liberated strategic town of Buni Yadi as one of the strongholds
of fighters in the state.
It was reported yesterday
that the military had reclaimed Bama, another major town of Borno state, which
had been under Boko Haram control since September, 2014.
