Umar Musa (Head of Operations/Instructor) of Boko Haram in the North Central has confessed publicly that he
was employed by Boko Haram as Instructor after he lost his job with the
state teaching hospital, and was taken to the Sambisa camp of the sect
for a week’s training on handling weapons. He said he was deployed to
the education unit of the camp as Munzi (instructor) and placed on a
monthly salary of N50,000. He further stated that he and Yusuf later
returned from Sambisa and re-united with Nazeef in Kogi State where they
plotted to carry out violent attacks in Igala land. He maintained that
Nazeef appointed him the Head of Operations and munzir. Musa stated all these in media briefing after his arrest with other members of the goons.
Mustapha Yusuf (Armourer/Chief Courier) and Ismaila Abdulazeez (Foot
soldier) confessed that Nazeef was their teacher who teaches them
Jihad and Islamic Sharia.
Merilyn Ogar, SSS director of publicity told newsmen that the suspects would soon be charged to court.
The State
Security Service (SSS) yesterday in Abuja paraded five
suspected Boko Haram members alleged to have planned deadly attacks on
Igala, Kogi State.
Other suspects are Dr. Mohammad Nazeef Yunus, an Assistant
Lecturer in Arabic and Islamic Studies at Kogi State University. He was
said to be the Spiritual Leader and Coordinator for Boko Haram in the
State, and the leader of the gang.
Nazeef, who was born in Idah, Kogi State, attended the Arabic Central
Primary School in that town, and El-Kanemi College, Maiduguri. He also
studied at the Islamic School, University of Medina, in Saudi Arabia
and served in the National Youth Service Corp in 1995 at Al-Iman
Secondary School, Dogon Dutse, in Jos.
Nazeef earned a Masters Degree in Arabic from the University of Jos.
Just last year, he earned a Ph.D in Islamic Studies from Kogi State
University.
Also arrested by the SSS were Umar Musa (Instructor), Mustapha Yusuf, Ismaila Yunusa, Mohammed Nasir, and Ibrahim Isa.
SSS spokesperson Marilyn Ogar said the suspects were planning to
carry out an attack on Igala Land but were arrested at Zuba white mosque
near Abuja on their way to Zambisa in Maiduguri for training. They
were also going to install Sharia in Kogi State.
