EXPOSED: How Nigerian Soldiers Penetrate Boko Haram Kingpin’s Home In Kaduna
The Defense Headquarters in Abuja has revealed
how Nigerian military men gained entrance into
the home of a Boko Haram kingpin reportedly
killed during a shootout in Kaduna, the capital of
Kaduna State on Sunday, 6 July, 2014.
Sahara Reporters, quoting a senior military officer,
stated that the security operatives had to dig a
tunnel to gain entry into the home of the Boko
Haram kingpin before he was killed in an exchange
of gunfire at his home located in the Kinkinau area
of Kaduna town.
According to the report, the military officer disclosed
that the Islamist kingpin and a few lower level
terrorists had fled Boko Haram's violence-prone
northeast to different locations before arriving in
Kaduna where they resettled with their families.

It was gathered that terrorists kingpin and his cohorts
had adapted themselves into their community in
Kaduna before they were discovered and their
eventual death.
The unnamed source informed that the deceased
had started gathering guns and explosives-
manufacturing ingredients before security agents
traced them to their location based on vital
information revealed by Boko Haram militants under
military detention.
The officer added that Nigerian troops fighting Boko
Haram deserved commendation instead of
unjustifiable criticism.
While pointing to the house where the late Islamist
terrorist kingpin was found and killed, the military
source said: "You can now see the sacrifice our
troops are making for the preservation of Nigeria's
sovereignty and territory. The terrorists were hiding
here for months until our breakthrough."

The officer added: "Our soldiers had to dig a hole to
enter the house as you can see. The [Boko Harm]
men gave our soldiers a tough time, but we
triumphed over them."
While declining to answer some questions thrown at
him, the source stated: "I have brought you here
from Abuja to see what we have done, because the
men we killed here had their hands in several severe
attacks carried out by [Boko Haram] in the northeast
and other parts of the North.
"Just imagine what they would have done in Kaduna
and surrounding areas if they were able to establish
a footing here."* One of the holes dug into the building to capture
the terrorists
The officer pointed out that the Nigerian Army was
making greater use of intelligence gathering and
deploying other innovative methods in its campaign
to combat the attacks of Boko Haram insurgents.
It could be recalled that a female informant of the
Boko Haram sect was also reportedly captured
recently.
