Rumours in Abuja and a number of posts on Twitter said he was caught in unclear circumstances.
However, the spokesman for the Nigeria Police Force, Mr. Olusola Amore, said he had not been briefed.
He promised to issue a statement if the story was found to be true.

Kabiru Sokoto was trailed and rearrested by the SSS. The Police had no hand in it. Even the picture you posted was when he was being paraded at SSS head quaters, Abuja, yesterday afternoon.Nigerian Eye, get your facts right.
ReplyDelete1] I cannot trust the Nigeria police with these Boko arrests -
ReplyDelete2} Why is he IDIOT running away why cant he show BRAVERY and shoot himself-so he can have his 1000 virgins reward in hell? Afterall he recruits others to commit suicide?
my brother, they are all cowards. they are already getting tiredthere is no point having any dialogue with idots-terrorists. has America ever come up to say they want to dialogue with Osama Bin Laden?after the 9/11 attack in US ,America made sure that they killed Bin Laden and other al-Qaeda kingpins. what about the N50million ranson placed on his head ? who is collecting that ? SSS? carry Kabiru Sokoto to an undisclosed place and detain him inside an underground cell where he should be interrogated not by the police ,but by SSS and the military.
