The Nigerian Army has arrested at least 12 persons in connection with acts of terrorism carried out by a breakaway group of the Boko Haram insurgents known as Mahmuda, which reportedly occupied the Kanji Lake National Park.
The group had before now allegedly maimed, exploited, terrorised and taken advantage of residents of neighbouring border communities in the Baruten and Kaiama local government areas of Kwara State and the Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State.
The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 2 Division, Major General Obinna Onubogu, who recently visited the camps in the Kaiama and Baruten local government areas of Kwara State disclosed this on Saturday, during a visit to have first-hand information about how the officers and men are faring as well as get updates on the operation.
