Four Boko Haram members wearing women clothes arrested in Gwange

Residents of Gwange area in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital have restricted their women from going out in the evening, following reports that Boko Haram members have now resorted to disguising as women, putting on female dresses while perpetrating evils and using the same method as a means of escaping arrest by soldiers and vigilante youth in the area.

DailyPost gathered that, four Boko Haram members were arrested on Saturday in Gwange ward, wearing women’s clothing and trying to escape arrest as a result of pressure mounted on them in the area by the vigilante youth who have been seriously hunting for the sect members particularly in Gwange area of the city.

According to a resident of Gwange, who pleaded not to be mentioned, the sect members are also wearing female clothing to hide their weapons in order to go and commit evil. “They have been doing that for a long time according to one of them who was arrested last month in Gwange and since that time, so many of them have been arrested and handed over to the security.” He said.

Speaking on whether the soldiers are killing them, he said, “They have been arresting them, but killing them, we do not know, because the soldiers always carry them to the JTF headquarters.”

According to him, even those that were arrested with ‘hijab’ last week Saturday,were beaten up by youth and handed over to the military for further interrogation.
