Alleged Boko Haram Extremists Arrested In Abuja, Nigeria

The attacks increased after Chad helped to force Boko Haram to give up territory earlier this year.

The deadliest attack on Chad’s aspect of the lake passed off on October 10, one other triple suicide, which killed forty one individuals at Baga Sola, based on I’Djamena.

In recent months, Boko Haram fighters have stepped up attacks and suicide bombings on Chadian villages in the lake region that lie close to the frontier with Nigeria.

The borders of Nigeria, Cameroon and Niger all touch the shores of Lake Chad.

The killers struck on the island of Koulfoua in Chad this morning murdering dozens of innocent people and injuring or maiming 80 others. This may be while the island was targeted. Later Wednesday, two more suicide bombers killed at least 15 people in the northern city of Kano and injured 53, according to police. Chad shares the lake with Nigeria, Niger, and Cameroon.

It is instructive to note that the troops morale is very high and being conscious of their set objective, they are unrelenting in their determination to defeat the Boko Haram terrorists.

Boko Haram’s 6-year uprising has killed some 20,000 people.

The area has been attacked repeatedly by the Boko Haram militant group, and the region is under a state of emergency. The U.S. Embassy warned today about possible attacks to hotels frequently visited by westerners.

Abdullahi Abubakar Sadiq was arrested in the town of Uba, in Nigeria’s northwestern Borno state, according to the statement.
