As part of the ongoing crackdown on Boko Haram insurgents, the Defence Headquarters on Monday confirmed the arrest of the in-laws of the leader of the sect, Imam Abubakar Shekau.

But it was silent on where the in-laws were being kept as at press time.


The raid which led to the arrest of the in-laws resulted in the recovery of some recorded audio messages of the insurgents.

Also, the DHQ said a recent encounter with the terrorists led to the death of Amir of Bulabulin Nganaram, one of the kingpins on the Joint Task Force wanted list.

It, however, confirmed said 58 detainees linked with Boko Haram insurgents have been released in Borno and Yobe States.

The spokesman for the Defence Headquarters, Brig-Gen. Chris Olukolade, who made the disclosures at a briefing by Joint Security Committee in Abuja, said the Special Forces in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states are not on any revenge mission but purely on a mission to restore law and order.

Olukolade said: “Troops on cordon and search operations in Bulabulin area in Maiduguri last week discovered a vast network of underground tunnels connecting houses and many bunkers some which have the capacity to accommodate over 100 persons.

“More corpses were also discovered in soak-away. Various weapons were also discovered in the same area.

“Abubakar Shekau’s parents’ in-laws were picked up in the raid which also discovered various audio recordings of terrorists’ messages. Recoveries are made almost on daily basis as the operation progresses.”
