IN their renewed hunt for the fleeing Boko Haram sect members in Borno State, the military Joint Task Force (JTF) and members of the Borno Vigilance Youth Group (BVYG) Sunday captured five terror suspects, including two women, who hid rifles in their hijabs (veils) in Dala and Hausari wards of Maiduguri.<\/p>\n

  The two arrested in Hausari area, according to a vigilance youth, are informants of the Islamist terrorists group and had allegedly been collecting information on the activities of JTF and the youth in Maiduguri.<\/p>\n

  Chairman of BVYG, Abubakar Mallum, also told The Guardian Sunday that the two women arrested in Dala were travelling in a tricycle to launch attack in Shuhuri North and Kofa Biyu wards, before the youths dispossessed them of their rifles hidden under their veils.<\/p>\n

  According to Mallum, \u201cour boys were on their routine patrols of Dala and Bulunkutu areas when the suspected women and a 25-year old person were caught and arrested this (Sunday) morning at about 9.45 a.m. <\/p>\n

  The three suspects and two others arrested in Shehuri North were handed over to the JTF sector commanders in Dala and Shehuri for further investigation, he said, adding that the role of the youths in the fight against Boko Haram insurgency in this state is to identify the true identities of sect members before their arrest and handover them to security agencies.<\/p>\n

  He noted that some of the fleeing insurgents, who relocated to neighbouring Yobe, Gombe, Bauchi and Adamawa states, as well as Cameroun and Chad, were, regrouping to return to Borno.<\/p>\n

   Meanwhile, spokesman of Borno Police Command, Gideon Jibrin, confirmed the arrest of five suspects, who were handed over by the vigilance youths yesterday morning, including the two women.<\/p>\n
