Army recover Shekau’s Qur’an, flag in Sambisa ---Official
(Nigeria) The Nigerian Army on Wednesday said it had recovered Abubakar Shekau’s Qur’an and flag in Camp Zero, the Boko Haram’s Headquarters in Sambisa forest.
Maj.-Gen. Lucky Irabor, the Theatre Commander of Operation
Lafiya Dole, said this while giving newsmen update on “Operation Rescue Final’’
in Maiduguri, Borno State.
“We believe that the Holy Book and the flag were abandoned
by Abubakar Shekau while he escaped. The Book will be taken to the Chief of
Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Burutai, for onward presentation to Mr President.
“We have also made a lot of arrests. Our troops in Damboa
arrested about 15 Boko Haram members. We also arrested one Musa from Potiskum
on Christmas day which was December 25.
“On December 26 our troops also intercepted two Boko Haram
suspects in Maiduguri. We, therefore,
warn residents of the state to be wary of people coming to hide in and around
their houses.
“We are also warning residents to report any suspected Boko
Haram members hiding in their houses to the relevant security agencies and any
failure to do that would tantamount to supporting and sympathising with the sect’s
activities,” Irabor said.
