The key suspect in the abduction of Chibok girls, Babuji
Ya’ari who was arrested after Nigerian security reportedly busted Boko
Haram intelligence cell, has been moved to Abuja.
According to a top security source, he was moved to Abuja early this
week from his Maiduguri base, where he was arrested and he is being
interrogated by security agents who are trying to get information from
him that would help in the release of the girls, Punch reports.
The suspect, who is reportedly a businessman is said to be under
intense interrogation, and is expected to provide vital information on
how the abduction was carried out, give a clue on the location of the
girls in Sambisa Forest and other hideouts where the girls were being
kept.
"I can tell you that the suspect has been moved to Abuja. He was
brought to Abuja early this week. He is being interrogated in connection
with the abduction of the girls.
"What is important to the Federal Government now is how to secure
the release of the girls. He has made useful information that will
assist security agencies," the source said.
The source added that the General Officer Commanding 7th Division,
Nigerian Army, Brig. Gen. M.Y. Ibrahim, was also at the Defence
Headquarters for a strategic security meeting, which might have
something to do with the arrest of Ya’ari and the ongoing investigation
into the abduction of the Chibok girls.
It was reported on June 30 that the Nigerian security had busted Boko Haram intelligence cell headed by a businessman Babuji Ya’ari, who was allegedly behind the abduction of over 200 Chibok school girls who were taken from their school in Chibok, Borno State by Boko Haram on April 14.
In less than two days after he was nabbed, a female accomplice of the dreaded Boko Haram sect, Hafsat Bako, was arrested.
