“He is still being held and interrogated by the JTF and he is cooperating with the force by
divulging vital information about their new strategy of using teenage girls for
suicide bombings. I don’t know the exact number of the girls because one of my
colleagues who participated in the operation said 13 while the other one said
16,” he said.
A top security source confirmed the arrest but added, “You
know we have carried out many recent successful operations recent. I will not
like to say much on this latest operation.”
Spokesperson of the JTF in Kano, Captain Ikechukwu Eze,
confirmed an operation in Dala local government area.
“There was an operation in Dala where one Ibrahim Ibrahim was
arrested alongside some persons. Investigation is still on,” he said in a phone
interview.
