A key suspect in a Nigerian church bombing that killed more than 40 people escapes police custody, leading to the arrest of a top policeman.
Kabiru Sokoto, believed to be a member of the Islamic terrorist Boko Haram was arrested on Saturday in Abuja after the police trailed him to his house. A police commissioner has been arrested due to the escape.
The twist to this is that Mr. Sokoto was arrested in Abuja, seen at a lodge owned by the governor of Borno state, Kashim Shettima. But a spokesman to the governor states that there is no question of collaboration between the governor and Boko Haram.
“What we’ve heard is that this man is in the lodge perhaps to even harm the governor. One cannot be in governance and be collaborating with people who threaten the peace of your own region,” Inuwa Bwala, Borno’s commissioner of information .
Mr. Sokoto was the only major suspect to be arrested of late for involvement in the bloody attacks
