The Nigerian army says its troops “have intercepted and arrested some kingpins and foot soldiers of suppliers of Boko Haram terrorists with hard drugs and other stimulants between Depchi and Geidam in Geidam Local Government Area, Yobe State, North East Nigeria.
A statement by army spokesperson, Sani Usman, said the suppliers was arrested by troops of 3 Division on Tuesday, following directives by army headquarters to troops in the region to search motorists and cargoes.
Colonel Usman said the arrested persons were also engaged in the supply of fuel in addition to hard drugs such as Cannabis (Indian Hemp), Chlorofone substance and Tramol, amongst others.
He added, “You will recall that sometimes ago we reported that ironically most of the Boko Haram terrorists captured by Nigerian military cannot read the Holy Qur’an, some of them cannot even recite the first chapter- Suratuh Al-Fatiha and yet they claimed they wanted to establish an ‘Islamic State’.
“When the Nigerian military captured their bases and training camps, they never found Qur’an or other Islamic books, what were mostly found were ammunition, local charms, condoms and all sorts of drugs, including sex enhancing ones in their enclaves.
“The arrest of these drug suppliers has reinforced that fact, more so as they have been making very useful statements.
The Nigerian Army said it would continue to do its best in the fight against terrorism and insurgency in our country in order to make Nigeria safe and secure.
