A middle-aged man, Samuel Chikwedum has been arrested by the Nigerian Army’s counter-insurgency Operation Lafiya Dole Theatre Command for been an alleged supplier of logistics for Boko Haram terrorists in Borno State.

Chikwedum was caught by army operatives while travelling to Baga town, heading towards the Lake Chad region with contraband goods.

After he was paraded before journalists, his goods and vehicle were destroyed.

According to the GOC 7 division, Aliyu Ibrahim, the suspect had also attempted to bribe personnel at the point of arrest and during interrogation.

Chikwedum however denied the accusations, insisting that his business is legitimate and that he never attempted to bribe his way out of the arrest.

He demanded a fair hearing from the law.

“There is nobody that I have attempted to bribe. What I told about them is the condition of this nation where the judiciary judgement are disobeyed,” he said.
