It has always been an open knowledge that the insurgency called Boko Haram has got some form of sabotage within the Nigerian northern politicial elites, the Nigerian military and Borno State in particular.

To add to what we already know, information making rounds has it that the leader of the Civilian Joint Task Force in Borno state, Bah Lawan has been arrested by the Nigerian military over his alleged link with the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram.

According to reports, the highly influential CJTF leader was once arrested by the military over same allegation but promptly released at the instance of the Borno state Commissioner for Justice, Kaka Shehu Lawan.
Since his arrest early this week, there has been more revelations on top Borno politicians suspected to be having related activities with the dreaded Islamic sect operating in Borno and the northeastern state generally.
Reports said the arrested CJTF leader, has more than 20 houses in Maiduguri, an edifice in Nigeria’s capital Abuja as well as vast farmland along Pompomari Ward, housing and over 500 cows.
