The military has arrested a foreign computer expert who is said to be
behind the several video shots sent to online media organisation and
foreign media houses.
He was said to have been arrested with some sophisticated equipment
and copies of some of the videos the terrorists had sent to online
media houses on their escapades, including that of the abducted Chibok
girls, it was learnt.
Military sources disclosed that the computer analyst who is currently
being interrogated was responsible for configuring computer images
website and internet accesses for the group.
Sources said he was arrested after a shoot-out when a group of the
sect members mobilised and attacked Konduga with a view to recovering
the body of the impostor of Abubakar Shekau for burial in a site they
would later earmark as their shrine.
Vanguard further gathered that the foreigner has made shocking
confessional statements about the terrorists' plans and modus operandi
as well as their backers that would aid the troops in their fight
against Boko Haram insurgency.
"We have made a very big breakthrough; the computer analyst is opening
up and has made very big revelations on the modus operandi of the
sect.
"We also discovered that the ICT expert is the backbone of the signals
and communication links of late impersonator, Mohammed Bashir, who
always posed as Abubakar Shekau, whenever he is talking on "youtube".
With the breakthrough, the military is said to be better informed on
how the impostor of Shekau was able to reach out to the world and
claim victory over Nigerian troops after several attacks.
