ANOTHER breakthrough was recorded by the Kano State police command, on Monday, when a member of the Boko Haram sect, Augustine Effiong (a.k.a Abubakar Garba), 25, an indigene of Akwa Ibom State, was arrested in connection with the recent attack in Bayero University, Kano (BUK), where no fewer than 30 Christians were killed during a church service.
 
The suspect was born and brought up in Maiduguri, Borno State, where he was converted to Islam.
 
He had been trans-ferred to Abuja for investi-gations, according to the police.
 
This was contained in a statement signed on Monday by the state Com-missioner of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, a copy of which was made available to the Nigerian Tribune.
 
The statement said Effiong had confessed to be one of those behind the recent attacks on Chri-stians at BUK.
 
The police boss added that during the preliminary investigation, the suspect, a resident of Bulunkutu Abuja Quarters in Maidu-guri, confessed to have relocated to Kano in April.
 
The suspect was also said to have participated in series of attacks and killings of policemen and military personnel in the state, in the wake of crisis in Kano early this year.
 
The command said Effiong was arrested over an attempt to murder a civilian at Danlasan village, in Warawa Local Government Area of Kano State.

This is becuming very interesting! Is dis cause of d high rate of poverty in nigeria dat a man will convert and kill his fellow christian jt for money. I dnt see any other though. But if dis Augustine Effiong story is true, we have watch our back we south west, south east and south south. They are now recruiting our hungry and jobless broda to perpetrate d crime for them to cause confusion.

Is not about being jobless, he's already a muslim so far he was born nd raised in the north with aboki's kids around him. So he has not been as one of us in the south....
