In his confession, Mohammed named some security personnel whom he said are members of the sect.
He was arrested by the
Joint Task Force (JTF) in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital in August 2012
while on his way to kill a former special adviser to the immediate past
governor of the state.
Before his apprehension,
Mohammed, was attached to the Nangere office of the Economic Community of West
African States (ECOWAS) in Yobe State, he was involved in many terrorists’
attacks including hits on primary schools in Damaturu.
A statement by the JTF
signed by its spokesman, Lt. Col Sagir Musa, gave the news of Mohammed’s
arrest:
“Mohammed confessed to
be actively involved in the killings of some senior civil servants, security
agents, and politicians in Damaturu who spoke against the activities of Boko

“He also took part in
the attack on the old Police Headquarters in Damaturu, where some policemen
