The charge against them: aiding the arrest of its top members: Abul ‘Qaqa’, (the sect insists Abul Dadar, not Abul Qaqa, was arrested), and Kabiru Sokoto.

The group’s spokesperson, who still claims to be Abul ‘Qaqa,’ conveyed the alert in a telephone conference interview with journalists in Maiduguri.

Boko Haram sect is holding GSM service providers responsible for providing caller log facilities to security agents with the cooperation of the Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC).  That body, it said, has also been penciled down to be attacked.

The spokesperson spoke in Hausa, using an anonymous telephone number. 

He boasted: “No matter what, we cannot be deterred.  No amount of arrest of leaders will stop us from striking, but like I said we will strike and it will be soon.”
