Barely a week after a Boko Haram suspect was
arrested at Isua in Akoko South East Local Government Area of Ondo State,
another suspected member of the sect was confirmed to have been arrested by men
of the state Police Command.
Ibrahim Idris Abawo, popularly known as Idiko, who
was on number 165 on the wanted list of the Boko Haram suspects, was arrested
in the same area.
The suspect, identified as
Mohammed Basha, was arrested in the same Isua Akoko area of the state according
to the police command.
The Public Relations Officer of the command, Mr. Femi Joseph,
said the suspect was arrested while he was loitering on Isua-Ifira Akoko road
by the men of the anti-crime patrol of the command.
"When the suspect was arrested, he was interrogated and
confessed that he was a member of the Boko Haram sect. He said his father is
from Niger Republic while his mother is from Maiduguri in Borno State.
"He said when Maiduguri was hot for him, he ran
to Nassarawa State last month and he left the state last Saturday and came down
to the South-west to hide here.
"He also confessed that one Daffo is his team
leader while Shekau is still the overall leader of the group,” he stated.
Joseph said some items suspected to be charms were
recovered from him. He added that the suspect was still in the protective
custody of the command for further enquiry.
