Wednesday announced that it has arrested one Bello Danhajiya, a
close associate and presumed second in command to Khalid Al-
Barnawi, a former deputy to Abubakar Shekau, leader of Boko
Haram insurgent group and founder of Ansaru terrorist group who
was arrested last week.
According to the secret police, Danhajiya is a Fulani from Zamfara
State and a strategic accomplice of Al-Barnawi.
“Preliminary investigations have disclosed his involvement in gun-
running, cattle rustling and other nefarious criminal activities
principally on the directives of his commander, Al-Barnawi.
“So far, efforts are being made to conclude the investigations and
commence prosecution in line with the law.”

statement that with the arrest of Al-Barnawi and Danhajiya, it has
made an uncommon success in the decimation of the Ansaru/
Boko Haram groups and their leadership.
