BEVERLY HILLS, November 09, (THEWILL) – Authorities have arrested a suspected Boko Haram leader who was listed in the military’s 100 most wanted list just published some days back.
The suspected identified as Chindo Bello, was detained on Sunday at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja (NAIA) by AVSEC, the security arm of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).
Bello was taken into custody as he attempted to check in on an Aero Contractors flight to Lagos.
The Director of Army Public Relations (DAPR), Col. Sani Usman, confirmed his arrest in a statement. “The declaration of 100 suspected Boko Haram terrorists has started to pay the desired dividend as one of them was arrested as he attempted to flee.
“At Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, a man suspected to be one of the declared wanted suspected Boko Haram terrorists, Chindo Bello, was apprehended by Aviation Security as he was boarding Aero Contractors’ Airline flight to Lagos. The suspect has since been handed over to the military intelligence for interrogation and prosecution.”
