This according to Mr Gbanite, who was a guest on Channels Television’s morning programme, Sunrise Daily, is not a new fact since the State Security Services have always alluded to it. The security expert was speaking against the background of recent events in Borno State. The military Joint Task Force (JTF) had on Thursday announced the arrest of Shuaib Mohammed Bama in Maiduguri, the Borno capital, describing him as “a high profile  Boko Haram  Commander who has been on the list of wanted terrorists operating between Bama and Maiduguri.” The SSS had linked the arrested  Boko Haram  Commander to “a serving senator’s house along Damboa Road, GRA Maiduguri.” The Senator, who was later identified as Ahmed Zanna, representing Borno Central Senatorial district, denied the allegation that the  Boko Haram  member was arrested in his house saying although the suspect is his nephew; he was not arrested in his apartment. He said the suspect was arrested in a house belonging to Mr Sheriff and that the former governor is scheming with security operatives to robe him in the saga in order to claim his seat in the senate.
