Top Boko Haram Commanders And Spokesman "Abu Qaqa" Arrested In Kano-PREMIUM TIMES

Boko Haram leader-Abubakar Shekau
By Sani Tukur

Security operatives carried out a successful raid against the sect’s leaders in Kano.

In what appeared to be a significant victory by Nigerian security operatives against the Boko Haram militant group, top commanders of the sect were arrested on Sunday.

Sources in the State Security Service, SSS, say Abu Qaqa, the sect’s spokesman and other top commanders were arrested when the Kano State Joint Task Force, JTF, carried out a sweeping raid on the sect’s hide-outs in Kano.

The Kano JTF has confirmed the raid and the arrests but could not confirm the identity of the arrested Boko-Haram leaders.

However, independent sources have told PREMIUM TIMES that the sect’s spokesman, Abu Qaqa was one of those arrested.

PREMIUM TIMES learnt that the non-disclosure of the details of the arrested officers was because the arrested members were refusing to co-operate with security operatives.

The Federal Government is also being careful about disclosing the names of the arrested officials apparently for fear of embarrassment, the type it suffered earlier in the year when the government disclosed that Abu Qaqa, the sect’s spokesman had been arrested, and it turned out to be false.

Spokesperson for the SSS, Marilyn Ogar, refused to comment on the arrests.

Politics.

Politics, divide and rule using faith and ethnicity, simple truth.

I thought Abu Qaqa was already captured some 6 months ago. Which Abu Qaqa is this again?

We re all nigerian nd no one is saying u people re haram!!! Jst use ur common sense nd judge things.islam simply means peace.tek it or liv it its up to u!

We in Nigeria are always

We in Nigeria are always sentimental about our religion,tribe or region. till we wake-up from the slumber i foresee trouble ahead.Our enemies are really working and recording success just like libya,Sudan,etc

Counter Attak

Bastard go and ask ur grand father before southan Nij get petrol where does Nij get there money? Poolish, undesirable element

Light

please note that Islam is beyond oil money, beyond your great grand fathers either your future siblings. don't forget oil is a gift of nature. Some will say Islam is all about "bloodshed", i say no. is just misconception in the hearts of some Muslims and anti-Islam.

@tweedy

I find it highly ludicrous that moslems like u find it amazing the way xtians see u. U must be blind and stupid to think xtians don't see u bunch of terrorists and bombers for who u are!I am indeed very sorry for ur lot cos Islam is all about violence, Q.E.D

boko haram is set up

@ monkey, ISLAM is a religion of peace. it is xtian(ARNA) that are thir xtian brothers in 9ja,john anaku and john odiah caught in abuja and jos carryin explosives wanted thir xtian brothers inorder to spoil the name of islam. GOD pass you!

Boko haram killings

I don't understand what Muslim stands for. Each time prophet Mohammed is cartooned or shown in a film it becomes a source of killing for Muslims all over the world. But Muslims go about setting churches ablze in Egypt and Nigeria but the Christian world only condemns such act with no sole lost. Statistically their are more Christians in the world than Muslims. Of which if there are reprisal attack on Muslims, they will be wipe out of the face of mother earth. Muslims should know that no faith has monopoly of violence. The other day Muslim countries where begging for freedom from US and other Christian western countries but today they have become and rechoed why their rulers have handled them with iron.

So is this one the real abu

So is this one the real abu qaqa?

False Islamic website

For your information www.answering-islam.org is not a Muslim or Islamic website but another false website created by Non-muslims in their unrelenting war against Islam so as to mislead people about the Holy Quran and teachings of Prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings of Allah be with him).

U are a fool for such

U are a fool for such comment...we are fighting for 1 Nigeria n see what you are saying..RUBBISH!

Super Story Part II

This is another Super Story Part II. They told us the other time that the Spokesman has been arrested and it was not up to an hour later when the Spokesman came out to disclaimed them. We are expecting the BH Spokesman to come out again to disclaim the Part II of the Super Story.

Only on Sunday

Since they will not allow us in the North to worship our Lord Jesus Christ, its only on Sunday they will receive the worst then they will know that Jesus is Lord, the Same Yesterday, Today and Forever, whether they like it or not. I cant imagine how these people like seeing blood on the street such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Libya, Tunisha and northern part of Nigeria, What about Kuwait, is Kuwait not in the Middle-east? why are they so peaceful in their country. The blood they shared in Nigeria will surely work against them, they've not seeing anything yet. God help Nigeria.

i think ABU QAQA has become a

i think ABU QAQA has become a code name for boko haram spokespersons since the first spokesman was arrested......kudos to the SSS/JTF.

No Comment!!!

Islam is not about Congo polishing you damn fool, go and do proper research, so that you see beyong your stupid believe that blood of Jesus will save you no matter what you commit on planet earth. And i or any muslim will not engage you to abuse christains no matter how much you push. We keep wandering where you people get this stupid idea about 40 or 70 virgins. BH is hate more by us for doing what they are doing and calling Islam name into it. May Allah punish them and expose there true identity. Amin.

10 Gbosas for u

You have spoken well....Let the North stay away from us cus we are HARAM to them....SIMPLE

Progress

With time, peace will return in the country. We need peace to move foreward. Read this very important article/expose on what is the motivating force behind this terror gan:.
