A suspected Boko
Haram kingpin, Adenoyi Abdulsalam, has been arrested by a joint team of the
Department of State Services and the military in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti state.
A statement issued on Wednesday by an operative
of the service, Tony Opuiyo, said that an Ak-47 rifle was recovered from the
suspect who is presently undergoing investigation.
Opuiyo added that the suspect was in the final
stages of kidnapping some high-level targets in Ekiti to raise funds and
terrorise communities in the state.
He said that a Boko Haram suspect, Usman Rawa,
29, a.k.a Mr X, was also arrested in Lafia, Nasarawa state capital, on March
17.
Opuiyo said Rawa rented an accommodation in Lafia
for one Abdullahi Isa, who was known for his “notorious terrorist” activities.
“His plan is to establish an effective base to
conduct terrorism, kidnapping and robbery operations in Abuja, Minna, and other
adjoining States,” he said.
