Boko Haram devises new trick to infiltrate communities, pretends to be displaced person

A civilian Joint task Force (JTF), has just made a startling revelation, that some Boko Haram members mingled with internally displaced persons in the communities.

JTF, Tanimu Shuiabu, said this was discovered after some of them who had been under surveillance were arrested.

He said: “Those arrested were said to have, on several occassions, been planning mischief. They have been kept under close watch and it was found out that they are members of Boko Haram who came along with the IDPs from Bama.”
Asked on how they were able to establish that, Tanimu said, “they have guns. They never wanted anybody around to be friends with them and they always excused other IDPs they are staying with and assembled themselves outside for meetings.
“When they were confronted by other IDPs who observed that this particular group of youths always excused themselves to meet, they told the other IDPs that they are only planning on how to go back to Bama since they are not being well taken care of by the authorities. that, They said it is better for them to go back than to continue to live under such harsh situation, but that their major concern was how to get back to Bama through Konduga.
“Also from amongst the IDPs, someone who saw them with guns sneaked and told some of our boys (civilian JTF) and we informed the soldiers, giving them all the details we had.
“After it was established that they were Boko Haram members, the soldiers stormed the place today and many of them were arrested.”
