The Department of State Services has
arrested 20 suspected Boko Haram commanders in Lagos, Kano, Enugu,
Plateau and Gombe states.
The suspects, who were arrested between
July 8 and August 25, 2015, include the masterminds of the suicide
attacks in Potiskum, Kano, Zaria, and Jos.
The DSS in a statement by an official,
Tony Opuiyo, on Sunday in Abuja, said those arrested were notable
commanders and frontline members of the notorious group from different
parts of the country.
The statement noted that the group’s new
pattern of movement and spread was caused by the pressure being put on
it by security forces in its core areas of strength in the North-East.
The
service listed those arrested in Lagos to include Bakura Modu who was
apprehended on July, 20 at Kara, Ogun State; Mustapha Jamberi, who was
picked up on July 24 at Gowon Estate.
