Babuji Ya’ari is a member of the Youth Vigilante Group
popularly known as Civilian JTF which he uses as cover while remaining an active
member of the Boko Haram sect, he was discovered
and arrested by Nigerian troops, he also spearheaded the murder of the Emir of
Gwoza. His main role in the group is to
spy and gather information for the terrorists group.
Babuji has been coordinating several deadly attacks in
Maiduguri since 2011, including the daring attacks on Customs and military
locations as well as the planting of IEDs in several locations in the town.
The arrest of the businessman who is known to deal in
tricycles has also yielded some vital information and facilitated the arrest of
other members of the terrorists’ intelligence cell who are women. One of them, Hafsat Bako had earlier escaped
to Gombe State to avoid suspicion but was tracked and arrested. Prior to her arrest, Hafsat coordinated the
payment of other operatives on the payroll of the group. In her confession, she disclosed that a
minimum of N10,000 is paid to each operative depending on the enormity of his
task.
Another female suspect named Haj Kaka who doubles as an
armourer and a spy for the terrorists group has also been arrested. Until their arrest, all the suspects actively
operated a terrorists’ intelligence cell in collaboration with others still at
large.
In another development, troops deployed in Goniri, Yobe
State, over the weekend, had an encounter with terrorists, resulting in
casualties on both sides after the attack was successfully repelled.
