Boko Haram `accountant’ arrested with N4.5m cash

I didn't know even Boko Haram had an accountant, na wa o. `The accountant’ was said to be in transit between Kano and Zaria, last week, with N4.5 million cash belonging to the Islamist group when men of the JTF intercepted and arrested him. Sunday Vanguard sources said he was travelling in a commuter bus as a cover. The Islamist group’s `accountant’, it was learnt, embarked on the journey which originated from Maiduguri, Borno State, to make cash transfers.

The sources said his cover blew after he and another associate made some money transfers in Kano, an action that aroused the curiosity of bank officials who alerted security agents. The associate was arrested but, by then, the `accountant’ was already on his way to Zaria. Our prayers are working.
