The Nigerian
soldiers captured a mysterious white man during last week’s storming of Boko
Haram’s headquarters in the Sambisa Forest.
According to
the military, the White man is a Franch man.
He was said
to be working for Boko Haram as a specialist in repairing and unlocking armored
vehicles and other fighting equipment. 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 but
authorities do not want to make his real identity known for diplomatic reasons
…they don’t want to jeopardize the success recorded”, said by an anonymous
soldier.
Meanwhile, another source said the man
is from Western Europe and he is actually a Frenchman.
On the issue
of the white man, the Federal Government and military authorities have refused
to disclose the full identity of the man for diplomatic reasons.
Soldiers who
took part in the operation had revealed the arrest last weeks and that the man
was providing “credible information” to military authorities.
The military
operation has led to the recovery of Sambisa Forest from the insurgents, and
the military high command is said to worried that some of the things expected
to be recovered at Camp Zairo were not found.
An officer
said that Boko Haram might have moved away from the camp to somewhere with
their equipments, including some Chibok girls. “It is likely they are somewhere
because they moved away with their equipment and prized possessions, including
the Chibok girls in possession of Shekau group,” according to the officer.

Among the
missing possessions were also some of the Chibok school girls with the Mamman
Nur faction, led by Abu Musab Al-Barnawi, son of the group’s late Mohammed
Yusuf.
