The “white man” is a Boko Haram Specialist in
repairing and unlocking armoured personnel vehicles and other fighting
equipment. The mysterious white man captured by Nigerian soldiers during last
week’s storming of Boko Haram’s headquarters in the Sambisa Forest. According
to Daily Trust Nigeria, the White man is a Frenchman.
Soldiers who took part in the operation had revealed
the arrest last week and that the man was providing “credible information” to
military authorities.
“He was arrested along the Bama axis of the Sambisa
forest and agreed to give vital information provided he would be spared. I
learnt that he is from France … They don’t want to jeopardise the success
recorded,” Daily Trust reported.
The newspaper report which detailed the military
operation that led to the recovery of Sambisa Forest from the insurgents, said
the military high command is worried that some of the things expected to be
recovered at Camp Zero were not found.
“It is likely they (Boko Haram) are somewhere
because they moved away with their equipment and prized possessions, including
the Chibok girls in possession of Shekau group,” an officer said.
Among the missing possessions were also some of the
Chibok schoolgirls with the Mamman Nur faction, led by Abu Musab Al-Barnawi,
son of the group’s late Mohammed Yusuf.
The girls are suspected to be held in cells in
northern Borno State.
