... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
terrorist group.

In a statement made available to journalists on Tuesday by the Brigade acting spokesperson, Captain Oni Olubodunde, he said the suspect was arrested on January 26, 2025, following credible intelligence.

The troops, according to the statement, successfully tracked down and arrested Gambo Grema, also known as Gamboi, in Mai-Hula town, Bali Local Government council of the state.

''During initial questioning, Grema admitted to being part of a Boko Haram syndicate that had infiltrated Taraba State.

''Their objective was to engage in kidnapping for ransom to fund terrorist activities and establish a new operational cell in the region.

''Grema also revealed that members of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
in West Africa Province (ISWAP) were working alongside them to execute other criminal operations,'' the statement read.

The Commander of the 6 Brigade Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Kingsley Chidiebere Uwa, commended the success of the operation, emphasizing the brigade's ongoing commitment to countering terrorism and ensuring the safety of citizens.
