Nigerian Army Arrests Boko Haram Fighters Collecting Taxes In Borno (Photos)

According to Sahara Reporters, troops of the Nigerian Army’s Operation Hadin Kai in partnership with the Civilian Joint Task Force have arrested four suspected Boko Haram members in Borno State.

A military source said the suspects were “arrested while collecting taxes and levies from villagers at Borno Yesu, close to Dushewu village in the Magumeri Local Government Area of the state.”

The arrest is coming a few days after SaharaReporters published tax receipts issued by the terror group to farmers and herdsmen in some North-East states.

The receipts were issued to residents of some farming communities in Borno State under the control of the group after the collection of levies and taxes from them.

Sources said failure of the residents to comply with the directive attracts the death penalty.
