The Acting Director, Army Public
Relations, Col. Sani Usman, said on Tuesday that troops had arrested a
financier of the Boko Haram insurgents in Borno State.
Usman said in a statement that that the man, identified as Mohammed Maina, was arrested in Bama with N1m cash on him.
He said that the suspect was also a supplier of kola nuts and other stimulants to the insurgents.
The Army spokesman said that the
suspect, a native of Shuari Village in Bama Local Government Area, might
have been collecting monetary contributions from Boko Haram
sympathisers along the Maiduguri-Dikwa-Kulli axis of the state.
