A rehabilitated ex-fi¥hter of the Boko Haram t€rror group, Alayi Madu, has been arrested by operatives of the National Dr¥g Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) with 10 kilograms of skunk.
The 26-year-old suspect, who was a Boko Haram fi¥hter for 15 years before he surrendered to the Nigerian military in 2021, was intercepted along Abuja-Kaduna expressway on Thursday, March 9, 2023.
NDLEA’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, in a statement on Sunday, March 12, said the suspect confessed that he bought the illicit dr¥gs in Ibadan, Oyo state and was taking the consignment concealed in a sack to Maiduguri, Borno state.
“In his statement, Madu said he is from Banki town, Borno State and joined the notorious t€rrorist organisation in 2006 when he was nine years old.
He said he repented and surrendered to the military in 2021, after which he underwent rehabilitation and de-radicalisation processes at Umaru Shehu rehabilitation centre, Maiduguri and Malam Sidi de-radicalization centre, Gombe before he was discharged after spending six months.
Thereafter, he traveled to Ibadan, Oyo state where he worked as commercial motorcycle rider (Okada rider) before going into dr¥g trafficking and his eventual arrest along Abuja-Kaduna express road,” the statement reads.
