A man alleged to be a Boko Haram spy who worked for the
group to bomb the St. Theresa’s Catholic Church Madalla
in Niger State on Christmas Day in 2011 was yesterday
paraded by the Nigerian Army in Bauchi.
The blast killed 44 people and wounded 75 others.
According to the army, Victor Moses, believed to be an
indigene of Benue State, was arrested in Alkaleri town of
Bauchi State near a mosque, claiming he wanted to
convert to Islam.
He was arrested with three other suspects-Abubakar
Shetima Bama, Salisu Mohammed Bello and Umar
Madaki.
They were paraded before the Chief of Army Staff, Lt
General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, at the 33 Artillery Brigade,
Shadawanka Barracks in Bauchi. The Brigade
Commander, Brigadier General Abraham Luka Dusu, said
they were arrested on a tip-off.
“Our troops on duty in Alkaleri arrested Victor Moses after
receiving a report from people in the area that the suspect
had been loitering around the mosque claiming he was a
Christian and wanted to convert to Islam but because he is
not from the area, they suspected him and reported to our
men.
“Victor Moses confessed to conducting surveillance for
Boko Haram when in a shop belonging to Abubakar
Shetima Bama in Jos while Salisu Mohammed Bello and
Umar Madaki are based in Gombe,” he said.
Brig General Dosu said after investigation, the suspects
would be handed over to the Joint Intelligent Centre in
Maiduguri.
