Latest reports say the Nigerian military has
arrested a foreign computer expert who allegedly
is behind video shots on Boko Haram’s terror
attacks sent to online media organization and
foreign media houses.
According to Vanguard report, the arrested
terrorists is said to have been arrested with
some sophisticated equipment and copies of
some of the videos the Islamist group had sent
to online media houses on their escapades
including that of the abducted Chibok girls. It
was gathered from military sources that the
computer analyst, who is currently being
interrogated, was responsible for configuring
computer images website and internet accesses
that enables the Boko Haram sect to fight media
and psychological operations.

The sources informed that the terrorist was
arrested after a shootout with a group of the
Boko Haram insurgents that attacked Konduga in
Borno State in an attempt to recover the body of
the killed impostor of Abubakar Shekau, the
leader of Boko Haram.
It was gathered that the arrested foreigner has
made shocking confessional statements about
the terrorist’s plans and modus operandi as well
as their backers.
“We have made a big break through; the
computer analyst is opening up and has
made revelations on their modus
operandi .
“We also discovered that the ICT expert
is the back bone of the signals and
communication links of lthe ate
impersonator, Mohammed Bashir, who
had been posing as Abubakar Shekau,
whenever he talked on the youtube,” a
military source told Vanguard.
It was also gathered from the arrested insurgent
how the late Impostor of Shekau was able to
reach out to the world and claim victory over
Nigerian troops after several attacks.
Among the terrorist’s confessions was that there
is a successor crisis in the camp of the sect,
adding that some of their members are yet to be
disarmed because they were yet to come to
terms to the fact that erstwhile leader, Shakau
has been killed.
It would be recalled that the Nigerian military
has been gaining upper hand against the Boko
Haram terrorists recently, killing many and
seizing some of their weapons.
Only on Tuesday, 30 September, 2014, three Boko
Haram members were sentenced to 25 years in
jail each by Lagos Federal High Court.
