The Nigerian Army yesterday, claims it recovered Abubakar
Shekau’s Qur’an and flag in Camp Zero, the Boko Haram’s
Headquarters in Sambisa forest.
Maj.-Gen. Lucky Irabor, the Theatre Commander of Operation
Lafiya Dole, said this while giving newsmen update on
“ Operation Rescue Final ” in Maiduguri.
- “We believe that the Holy Book and the flag were
abandoned by Abubakar Shekau while he escaped. The
Book will be taken to the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen.
Tukur Burutai, for onward presentation to Mr President.
“We have also made a lot of arrests. Our troops in Damboa
arrested about 15 Boko Haram members. We also arrested
one Musa from Potiskum on Christmas day which was
Dec.25.
- “On Dec. 26 our troops also intercepted two Boko Haram
suspects in Maiduguri.
We, therefore, warn residents of the state to be wary of
people coming to hide in and around their houses.
We are also warning residents to report any suspected
Boko Haram members hiding in their houses to the
relevant security agencies and any failure to do that would
tantamount to supporting and sympathising with the
sect’s activities,’’ Irabor said.
