The Nigerian Police today paraded eight men who are suspected to have been part of the kidnapping of the Chibok girls. The eight suspects were part of a group of 22 men paraded by the Borno State Commissioner of Police, Damian Chukwu.

According to Mr Chukwu, the 22 men that were paraded were members of the Boko Haram sect and were responsible for various crimes including the kidnapping of the Chibok girls and over 50 suicide bombings.

The Commissioner praised the Inspector General of Police (IGP)’s Intelligence Response Team (IRT) led by DCP Abba Kyari, saying it was their act of gallantry that led to the successful arrest of the suspects.

According to him, this was a result of the action of the IGP, who “Irked and worried by the persistent suicide bombings and killing of innocent citizens in the North East by the dreaded Boko Haram Terrorist Group terrorising North Eastern Nigeria, IGP Ibrahim Idris equipped and deployed the Special Operatives of the IGP Intelligence Response Team, IRT, with enough credible technical intelligence to Maiduguri, Borno State to trace and arrest all the terrorists responsible for the suicide bombings and other terrorist attacks in the North East.”

Speaking to journalist in Borno, DCP Abba Kyari, head of the IGP’s Intelligence Response Team said “After a lot of planning and use of advance technology between 04/07/18 and 09/07/18, IRT Special Teams With Support from SARS/CRACK team of Borno State Command swung into action and eventually succeeded in arresting 22 confirmed Boko Haram terrorists who confessed to several suicide bomb explosions within Borno and Adamawa States, kidnapping of the Chibok School girls, invasions of Bama/Gwoza among many other crimes.
