Afolabi Babawale, NSCDC spokesperson, in a statement on
Thursday, identified the suspect as Isah Jafaru, also known as “Nabida”.

 

Babawale said operatives arrested the suspect in Iloro Ekiti
after a manhunt due to his suspicious activities in the community.

 

He said preliminary investigation has revealed that the
suspect is a high-ranking terrorist who relocated to Iloro Ekiti with other
terrorists scattered in Ekiti state.

 

Oluwaseun Sosina, Ekiti NSCDC commandant, said operatives
are tracking the fleeing criminals to prevent regrouping in the state.

 

Sosina added that the suspect will be handed over to the
Department of State Security (DSS) for further investigation.

 

“The command’s intelligence and counterterrorism unit are
moving out in search of these miscreants with a view to stopping them from
regrouping in Ekiti state while the command will cooperate with other
paramilitary agencies to make sure that the state remains peaceful during,
before, and after this festive season,” the commandant said.

 

“In the spirit of synergy, the command will hand over the
suspect to the Department of State Security Service for further investigation
to pave the way for the arrest of others who are currently in that axis and
other parts of the state.”

 

The commandant asked residents of Ekiti to be vigilant and
cautious of suspicious individuals, especially in hard-to-reach forest areas.

 

Sosina added that residents should promptly report
questionable characters to the nearest security agency.
