Lagos -
The Nigerian Army captured one of the top commanders of the Islamist militant
group Boko Haram on Wednesday, a military spokesperson said.
Bulama Modu and 43 others were captured in an operation that
resulted in the destruction of two "terrorist camps" at Janguoriri
and Bulatori in north-eastern Nigeria, the spokesperson Sani Usman said.
"The troops also rescued 241 women and children during the
operation," he said.
An AK47, bows and arrows and a horse that had been given to Modu
were confiscated by the military.
Boko Haram, which seeks to establish a state with its strict
interpretation of Islamic law, has killed an estimated 14 000 people since
2009. News24
