listA SUSPECTED terrorist whose photograph was also published among the top 100 declared wanted was arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe international Airport in Abuja yesterday.

A statement by Army spokesman, Col. Sani Usman, said: “At Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja, a man suspected to be one of the declared wanted suspected Boko Haram terrorists, Chindo Bello was apprehended by Aviation Security as he was boarding Aero Contractors’ Airline flight to Lagos. The suspect has since been handed over to the military intelligence for interrogation and prosecution.”

While appreciating the efforts of the “eagle-eyed and patriotic security agents and good citizens for the tipoff that led to the arrest,” Usman reiterated the need for all Nigerians to be more vigilant and cooperate with security operatives and give information about the declared wanted terrorists “their sponsors and other criminals in our midst.”
