Following the massive onslaught by Security Forces on
the activities of the insurgent group, Boko Haram, at
the Balmo Forest Bauchi State, Police detectives
attached to Bauchi State Police Command on Saturday,
12/7/2014 about 2pm have arrested one Mohammed
Zakari, a male of 30 years old and senior member of the
Boko Haram terrorists’ organization along Darazo-
Basrika Road while fleeing from the intensive counter
insurgency operations going on around the Balmo
Forest.
The suspect, who hails from Kaigamari Village,
Daptchari in Darazo Local Government Area, #Bauchi
State is the self-styled “chief butcher” of the insurgent
group at the Balmo Forest Camp and is linked with the
recent slaughter of seven (7) people, including women
and children.
Findings as well as disclosures from the suspect will
assist the Law enforcement agencies in tracking down
some other members of the terror cell. The suspect
whom investigation reveals was tutored in the art of
insurgency at Gombe Forest under the leadership of a
fleeing insurgent, one Abba Taura and moved to
#Balmo Forest only three months ago, is discovered to
have actively participated in the April attack against
Customs officers at Kari Town, along #Maiduguri Road,
Bauchi State.
Meanwhile, the Police High Command has called on the
citizens in the affected areas to be on guard for any
suspicious or strange character fleeing from Balmo
Forest. It also calls for the understanding and support
of the public for the efforts of the Police and other
Security Forces in tackling insurgency, terrorism and
other related crimes headlong, noting that although the
war on terrorism is unrelenting, it is certainly not
insurmountable and must be won with the cooperation
of all.
