The Nigerian Army said Tuesday it usually find condoms,
hard drugs and sex- enhancing drugs in camps captured from Boko Haram
insurgents by its troops.
The spokesperson for the Army, Sani Usman, said the
findings underlined the military’s belief that most Boko Haram militants were
not grounded in Islam and were not driven by Islamic ideology.
Mr. Usman, a colonel, said a lot of insurgents so far
arrested could not even recite the Quran, the holy book of Muslims.
He said those arrested by troops of Nigerian Army’s 3rd
Division Tuesday turned out to be suppliers of hard drugs and other stimulants
to terrorists. They were nabbed between Depchi and Geidam, Geidam Local
Government Area in northern part of Yobe State, he said. Mr. Usman added, “The
arrested persons were also engaged in the supply of fuel in addition to hard
drugs such as Cannabis (Indian Hemp), Chlorofone substance (AKA Madaran suck
and die) and Tramol, amongst others. “You will recall that sometimes ago we
reported that ironically most of the Boko Haram terrorists captured by Nigerian
military cannot read the Holy Qur’an, some of them cannot even recite the first
chapter- Suratuh Al-Fatiha and yet they claimed they wanted to establish an
‘Islamic State’. “When the Nigerian military captured their bases and training
camps, they never found Qur’an or other Islamic books, what were mostly found
were ammunition, local charms, condoms and all sort of drugs including sex enhancing
ones in their enclaves. “The arrest of these drug suppliers has reinforced that
fact, more so as they have been making very useful statements.”
