SSS Captures The Wrong Boko Haram Guy, Abul Qaqa Still At Large

Leave a Comment

Abu Qaqa, spokesman of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram, has denied reports that he has been arrested by the State Security Service.

The denial came even as the confusion set off by initial reports of Qaqa’s arrest on Tuesday deepened. Speaking with journalists from an unknown location on Thursday, Qaqa said the man arrested was one Abu Dardaa.


“The person that was arrested was Abu Dardaa and not Abu Qaqa. I am Abul Qaqa, the spokesman for 'Boko Haram'. Abu Dardaa is the head of the Lagina (Dept) of public enlightenment and not the spokesman,” Qada said.

The spokesman went on to say that Dardaa was asked by the sect to meet with government officials after the group had decided to respond to the government’s call for dialogue.

“The arrest of Abu Dardaa is an outright deception and betrayal by the Nigerian government and security agents. They proclaimed dialogue and are doing the opposite. His arrest has proved to us that they were waiting for us to avail ourselves so that they can arrest us.

“We purposely sent Abu Dardaa to Kaduna to discuss with some key government functionaries on the issue of dialogue. Indeed, he had started talking to them but unknown to him, they (had) directed some security agents to trail him and arrest him.

“This is exactly what happened. He volunteered to present himself for the dialogue but was betrayed. Everybody knows our capability and tactics of operation. It is evidently clear that none of our members could be caught on a platter of gold and without confrontation,” he said.
It would be recalled that Qaqa, known for granting interviews and issuing statements on behalf of the group, was reportedly arrested in Kaduna by the SSS on Wednesday morning.
