The State Commissioner of Police,
Abdu Umar, told reporters that "some repentant Boko Haram insurgents hide
under joblessness to commit crimes."
Baba-Goni was detained for stealing
eight wrappers and a few other pieces of clothing from one Hajiya Lami of
Maiduguri's Mashidmari ward, who employed him as a housekeeper.
Baba-Goni, who repented from
terrorism "three years ago," told reporters he couldn't say when
Hajiya Lami hired him.
"She employed me over four
months ago," he explained, adding, "but she never paid me for even a
month; so I stole her wrappers as compensation for the unpaid salary."
CP Umar stated that after a
thorough investigation, the 110 suspects apprehended for various offenses such
as armed robbery, rape, handset snatching, and kidnapping would be charged in
court.
He stated that the command will not
give up its efforts to clear Borno State of all criminals in order to ensure a
peaceful society.
