Khalid Al-barnawi,
mastermind of the August 26, 2011 bomb
attack on the United Nations building in Abuja
The Department of State Services (DSS) has announced the arrest of another top Boko Haram leader.
He is Bello Danhajiya, a
Fulani from Zamfara state and a strategic
supporter of Al-Barnawi, arrested earlier in the month.
Garba Abdulahi of the DSS said in a statement that first investigations
demonstrated that the suspect was operated on the commands
of his commander Al-Barnawi. He was involved in gun-running, cattle rustling and other
wicked criminal activities. So far, efforts are being made to conclude the
investigations and commence prosecution in line with the law.
The statement reads: “In another development, this service, worried by the
spate of impersonation of government officials and the increasing rate of defrauding of unsuspecting members of the public by some
unscrupulous elements,
launched detailed investigations aimed at
checking the situation.
“The service therefore wish to inform the public about the outcome of these successful operations which have led to the
apprehension of the following suspects: Aminu Ado (aka Yusha’u Muhammed
Yerima ADAM); David Ali Michika; Umar Hamza;
James Malu Akune; and
Kazeem Kayode Usman.
“Aminu ADO (aka Yusha’u Muhammed Yerima ADAM) Ado was
arrested on 24th March, 2016 at Keffi Nasarawa state.
He confessed to defrauding T.Y. Danjuma (Lt. Gen/Rtd) of N10m in 2015 and
wife of Akwa Ibom state governor of three
Hundred thousand naira in collaboration with
one Hajia Aisha, who
impersonated the wife of former Gombe state Governor Danjuma Goje. In addition, he
confessed to defrauding members of the public by claiming
to be the Chief Security Officer to the president.
Further investigation
revealed that Ado had the mobile phone numbers of all the Federal Executive Council (FEC) members,
some state governors, their wives and aides
as well as that of prominent Nigerians and
military/police officers.”
“David Ali Michika:
Subject is a 43-year old from Jimeta, Adamawa state but resides at
Ungogo LGA of Kano state. He once lived in
Riyad, Saudi Arabia for ten years as an illegal
immigrant until he was deported in 2008. He was arrested in Kano
for impersonating
the secretary to the government of the Federation.
Michika had called
several high-ranking
government officials soliciting for funds to
settle spiritualists
(Mallams) for prayers rendered for the success of the APC in the 2015 general
election and for peace in the nation.”
Al-Barnawi was
arrested by the DSS on April 1 in Lokoja, Kogi
state, while allegedly hiding under a false
cover. He is a founding member of the Boko
Haram sect and mastermind of the August 26, 2011 bomb
attack on the United Nations building in Abuja.
According to the
service, the suspect would soon be charged
to court to face
his charges after
investigations were completed.
