Some Boko Haram fighters were already making plans to infiltrate the Nigerian Army. This chilling revelation was made today by the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abuja.
But the DSS said that two members of the sect, who it labelled as Improvised Explosive Device specialists, were arrested before they succeeded in their plan to join the army.
DSS spokesperson, Tony Opuiyo, disclosed this in a statement, saying the suspects were arrested in Kano.
Opuiyo said: “In response to the regrouping of Boko Haram elements in Kano State, the Service in concert with the military, carried out coordinated operations in the state which led to the apprehension of two high profile members of the sect.
“They are Ibrahim Abubakar and Idris Audu. Audu is an IED specialist who was being groomed to penetrate security agencies in the country.
“Audu had already perfected plans to seek for recruitment into the next recruitment scheme of the Nigeria Army, before his arrest.”
