Luck has ran out on a Boko Haram recruiter after he was trailed and arrested in faraway Senegal by the police.

Senegalese police say authorities have arrested a suspected recruiter for the Nigeria-based Boko Haram Islamic extremist group, AP reports.

The terrorist was arrested on the 1st of April in a Dakar suburb.

According to police sources, the suspect was known to Nigerian intelligence services and had been in Mauritania for some months before coming to Senegal to recruit on behalf of Boko Haram.

Also, the Senegalese police arrested two Moroccans at the international airport who had been linked to the Islamic State group.

The two men, who police said came from a Syrian refugee camp in Turkey, denied association with the extremist group. Police said they came to Senegal for its proximity to Morocco.

Senegal has increased security following major attacks by al-Qaida-linked militants in Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast and Mali.
