Nigeria’s secret police have been giving more details about the alleged recruiter for Islamic State (IS) they arrested in the north of the country.

A statement from the police said Abdussalam Enesi Yunusa is part of a terrorist cell funded by a Sudanese man on behalf of IS in West Africa.

A number of people suspected of having links to the militant group have also been arrested, the statement added.

In a related development, the secret police or DSS, say they have arrested five people accused of planning to carry out “terror attacks” in several northern states.

It is not clear whether those arrested have links with militant Islamist group Boko Haram who have been carrying out deadly attacks in the region.
