A member of Boko Haram Islamist sect
shocked the people of Ngomari Airport Ward ‘Bakin Borehole’ area in Maiduguri,
Borno State, when he confessed to have killed 23 people in two days,
including a village head and Police officers in the area.
The Boko Haram member, who was
arrested Tuesday evening, was said to have rented a room in the area about a
year ago.
A resident of Ngomari, who pleaded
anonymity, told newsmen yesterday in Maiduguri that the sect member was
arrested wearing a jeans trouser and vest at a borehole, where he went to fetch
water. He said the arrest was made possible when the youths went looking for
him and arrested his younger brother, who took them to Ngomari where
the suspect had been hiding.
The resident said: “We were shocked when we heard that Civilian JTF
came and arrested a sect member in our area. We never imagined we could
have somebody like that in our area because we have been living
peacefully."
“We were most shocked when the sect
member confessed that he killed 23 people in two days. That is horrible and
unimaginable but a reality.”

According to him, the sect member
who was arrested by vigilante youths, called ‘Civilian JTF’ was a resident of
Gwange, a stronghold of the sect.
He added that while members of the
youth group were beating the arrested sect member, they also asked him of one
Idris Musa, who they believed was one of the sect members. Meanwhile, over 50 detained members
of the sect have appealed to Federal Government to give them a second chance as
they were ready to assist the government in bringing the crisis to an end.
