A suspected Boko Haram member, who
feigned madness, narrowly escaped arrest
at Buni Yadi town in Gujba Local
Government Area of Yobe on Tuesday.
The Commander, 27 Task Force Brigade,
Damaturu, Col. Usman Yusuf, gave the
order to arrest the supposedly madman
when he was sighted in one of the
dilapidated buildings in the deserted
town.
As troops advanced to carry out the
order, the suspect, who wore a white
garment with an unkempt hair and
chanting some incantations, disappeared.
The incident occurred when the
commander led a group of newsmen who
were on a guided tour of towns recently
liberated from Boko Haram insurgents,
visited Buni Yadi to see things for
themselves.
Yusuf, however, assured that the troops
would fish out the suspect,soon.
The suspect was believed to be on a
surveillance mission for the insurgents
but pretended to be insane.
Gujba and Gulani Local Government areas
in Yobe were captured by the insurgents
in July 2014 and remained under their
control for nine months.
