The Joint Task Force (JTF) in Kano has arrested a man
suspected to be the master trainer of Boko Haram female suicide bombers with 16
females who were reportedly being trained for suicide operations, from security
sources. It was gathered that the man identified as Ibrahim Ibrahim was
arrested in Dala LGA of Kano during a raid by the Joint Task Force Thursday.
The females were being trained to carry out suicide bombings
when the JTF raided their training ground and arrested them and their trainer.
"He is still being held and interrogated by the JTF and he
is cooperating with the force by divulging vital information about their new
strategy of using teenage girls for suicide bombings. I don’t know the exact
number of the girls because one of my colleagues who participated in the operation
said 13 while the other one said 16," he said.
A top security source confirmed the arrest but added, "You
know we have carried out many recent successful operations recent. I will not
like to say much on this latest operation."
