Brain Behind Boko Haram Online Activity Allegedly Apprehended

The Nigerian military has allegedly apprehended a foreign computer analyst who is many believed to be the criminal mastermind behind the several video clips sent to online media organizations and foreign media houses broadcasting Boko Haram messages and threats.

He was said to have been arrested with some sophisticated equipment and copies of some of the videos the terrorists previously delivered to online media houses on their horrible escapades including that of the abducted Chibok girls.

According to military sources, the tech expert who is currently undergoing interrogations in a secured facility was responsible for configuring computer images website and internet accesses that enables the group fight media and psychological operations.

Undisclosed sources said he was arrested after a shootout instigated by a group of the sect members who came together and attacked Konduga aiming to recovering the body of the impostor for burial in a site they would later set aside as their shrine.

It was also gathered that the foreigner has made shocking confessional statements about the terrorist’s plans and modus operandi as well as their backers that would aid the troops in unravelling the mysteries behind the Boko Haram insurgency and finally put an end to their menace in the country.

“We have made a very big break through; the computer analyst is opening up and has made very big revelations on the modus operandi of the sect”.

“We also discovered that the ICT expert is the back bone of the signals and communication links of late impersonator, Mohammed Bashir who always poses as Abubakar Shekau, whenever he is talking on “U” tube”.

This recent development has enabled the military to gain cogent knowledge on how the Impostor of Shekau was able to communicate with outsiders and come out publicly in videos to claim victory over Nigerian troops after several attacks.

While confirming that there is a successor crisis in the camp of the terrorists resulting from the death of most of their commanders by troops in Konduga, NE learnt that some terrorists are yet to be disarmed because they were yet to come to terms that their erstwhile leader, Shakau has been killed.
