The fake Army General, Aliyu Hussaini
Another suspected Boko Haram sponsor, Aliyu Hussaini, who has also been
parading himself as a military brigadier general has been arrested.
The Nigerian Army in a statement on Tuesday said that Hussaini was
arrested by soldiers of the 33rd Artillery Brigade in Bauchi State during a
raid.
The statement read, “The 33 Artillery Brigade, Nigerian Army, has
recorded another landmark success in the ongoing Operation Zaman Lafiyah as
troops of the brigade recently arrested one Aliyu Hussaini, popularly known as
Colonel, a suspected Boko Haram terrorist and an Impostor who has been parading
himself as a Brigadier-General in the Nigerian Army.
“The troops, who were acting on a tip-off, said Aliyu Hussaini was a
sponsor and also a member of the Boko Haram terrorist organisation. (They)
carried out a raid operation, which led to the successful arrest of Aliyu and
another suspected Boko Haram member, one Ibrahim Mohammed, who is also known as
Yuram.
“It was later gathered that Aliyu had been defrauding innocent citizens
(with the claim) that he was a general in the Nigerian Army.”
The military had earlier today announced the arrest a financier of the
terror group in Bama, Borno State. It was reported that the sum of one million
naira and other items were found on the suspect.
