A new insight on how a top terrorist who was planning a major onslaught on Niger State Capital, Minna was uncovered has emerged

Daily Asset gathered that the terrorist, believed to be a top coordinator of the Boko haram sect in the North East and bandits groups operating in the North West/ North Central was said to be a chief armourer.

Sources at Kulobe Community in Gbeganu community, Minna metropolis disclosed to our Correspondent on the condition to be anonymous said the top terrorist had been residing in the metropolis for over almost one year now.

The Source explained that, the top terrorist who is currently on the run bought a three-bedroom apartment from a woman at the cost of Seven Million five hundred thousand Naira.

” The original owner of the property was a woman who sold the house for #7.5 Million Naira and relocated back to the Southern part of the Country

” Immediately he took possession of the property, he fortified the fence of the house, and was driving various tinted cars, but his favorite was a Peugeot car.”

The Sources whose property was affected by the exchange of fire between security operatives and the fleeing terrorist said the man aroused suspicion of people of the area due to his deliberate efforts to keep away from all his neighbour’s.

” He was married to a woman from a North Central State (tribes name withheld) and they had about three little children who he personally drives to school and pick up Daily

” We became suspicious when as a Muslim, both him and the wife are not seen joining any congregational Daily prayers or the weekly Jummat prayer

” Curiously apart from driving in and out of his highly walled abode, nobody can tell what he was doing for a living which further compounded the puzzle about him” he asserted.

It will be recalled that, security agencies stormed the residence of the terrorist kingpin at the early hours of Tuesday and engaged the terrorist in a fire fight although large catches of arms were recovered from his residence, but he managed to slip out of their arms.

His spouse and Children were however not that lucky as they are currently undergoing interrogation in the hands of law enforcement agencies.

The recovery of about 105 Ak47 Rifles and RPGs along with six cartoons of assorted ammunition is sending shivers down the spine of most residents of the State capital since the arrow head is now at large.
