The Nigerian Army yesterday announced the arrest of a
suspected Boko Haram member said to have been the brain behind
“most of the recent attacks in Benue State.”
He is Aminu Yaminu who goes by the nick name Tashaku.
Tashaku was arrested by combined troops of 707 Special Forces
Brigade, the Police and the Department of State Security Services
in Makurdi,the state capital.
The army said the suspect “is believed to have masterminded most
of the recent attacks in Benue State.”
“Following an intelligence report, it was gathered that AMINU
has concluded plans with his cohorts in Bauchi, Borno, Yobe and
Nasarawa states to launch a major attack on innocent citizens in
Benue State,” the army added.
It pledged to ensure that “enemies of peace in the state are
brought to justice,” and advised residents of the state to go about
their lawful businesses without fear.
“They should also oblige the Nigerian Army and other security
agencies with timely information that could lead to the arrests of
criminal elements in our society,” it said.
