Nigerian troops have arrested one of the declared wanted Boko Haram terrorists leaders, and also conducted patrols and clearance operations within the theatre of operations.

At about 1.35pm yesterday troops of 143 Battalion arrested one Sulaiman Umaru, a suspected Boko Haram terrorists group member whose photograph is on the poster containing the photographs of the 100 Boko Haram terrorists declared wanted, Army Spokesperson, Col. Usman Sani said in a statement.

He has since been moved to 28 Task Force Brigade Headquarters for further investigation.
