Boko Haram Kingpin on Army's 'Wanted' List Arrested At Abuja Airport

The Nigerian Army has recorded a massive feat after it publicized a 'wanted' list of 100 Boko Haram terrorists.

A suspected member of the dreaded Boko Haram sect, who was listed among the 100 wanted terrorists chiefs recently published by the Nigerian Army, was on Sunday, November 8, arrested by aviation officials at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.

The director, Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, confirmed this in a press statement circulated electronically to reporters on Sunday.

The chief of army staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai had published posters containing photos of the 100 most wanted Boko Haram kingpins in Maiduguri, the headquarters of ‘Operation Lafiya Dole’.

“The declaration of 100 suspected Boko Haram terrorists has started to pay the desired dividend as one of them was arrested as he attempted to flee,” Col Usman said.

“Today (Sunday) at Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja, a man suspected to be one of the wanted suspected Boko Haram terrorists, Chindo Bello, was apprehended by Aviation security as he was boarding Aero Contractors’ Airline flight to Lagos.

"The suspect has since been handed over to the military intelligence for interrogation and prosecution.”
