Following the directives by the Army Headquarters to troops in the North East for a painstaking search of motorists and cargoes, troops of the 3 Division Nigerian Army have intercepted and arrested some kingpins and foot soldiers of suppliers of Boko Haram terrorists with hard drugs and other stimulants.
A statement signed by Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman said the terrorists were arrested between Depchi and Geidam, in Geidam Local Government Area of Yobe State.
The statement added that the arrested persons were also engaged in the supply of fuel in addition to hard drugs such as Cannabis (Indian Hemp), Chlorofone substance (AKA Madaran suck and die) and Tramol, amongst others.
According to the statement, “sometimes ago we reported that ironically most of the Boko Haram terrorists captured by Nigerian military cannot read the Holy Qur’an, some of them cannot even recite the first chapter- Suratuh Al-Fatiha and yet they claimed they wanted to establish an ‘Islamic State’.
“When the Nigerian military captured their bases and training camps, they never found Qur’an or other Islamic books, what were mostly found were ammunitions, local charms, condoms and all sort of drugs including sex enhancing ones in their enclaves.
The arrest of these drug suppliers has reinforced that fact, more so as they have been making very useful statements.
