Confirmed reports indicate that Abu Qaqa, the spokesman of Boko Haram has just been arrested about 7pm Nigerian time today Wednesday in Maiduguri, Borno State.
Top level security forces confirmed to African Herald Express that Abu Qaqa was arrested following a joint surveillance that included tracking his mobile phone.
Abu Qaqa was the only known name for the elusive Boko Haram leader whose real name is suspected to be something else.
Security forces said that the man is “considered the biggest Boko Haram catch ever”; thus he is being held under tight security by the police even as he is “under intense questioning” as our source put it.
Our source added that “We are arranging to transfer him to Abuja under tight security to avoid another Kabiru Sokoto story”.
Abu Qaqa is known to have spoken to a lot of journalists since the Boko Haram attacks began, but no one knew for sure where he made his calls from.

Boko haram is really an haram.
They need Americans to help them interrogate this man because Americans are more experienced in making terrorists sing like canary, not just on their guilt but on implicating past and future terrorists. This has nothing to do with our sovereignty because what Qaqa and his gang are doing is an international crime
do somethin mr president about this i ssue of haram
Wao kudos to the sss over that
More kudos 2 Security agencies.lets give them Info.bokoharam members re nt sphirits
A spectacular breakthroug,but im quite certain that elements of American intelligence is involved.b0t despite that the sss deserves praise and encouragement.
SSS If you like hand him over to NPF like NA did to be treated like Mohammed yusuf case and see where it will lead us again.
Its really interestn dt our security service achieved ds fate. I hope it wldnt go d way Kabiru Sokoto did. Let d IG b fully involved in handln ds case nd he shld nt compromise any standard. Religion, Sentiment nd Tribe shld b kept aside..
If you like hand him over to NPF to be tretted like Mohammed yusuf case.
