Top Boko Haram Killed, 156 Other Members arrested in Adamawa

Nigeria's military said on Tuesday that it has killed a senior Boko Haram Islamist leader and arrested 156 suspected members of the group during a weekend raid in northeastern Adamawa state.

"In the three-day operation, the town was placed under 24-hour curfew, which enabled soldiers to comb the nooks and corners," said Lieutenant Saleh Mohammed Buba, military spokesman in Adamawa.

"A total of 156 suspects were rounded up in raids of suspected (Boko Haram) hideouts. A sect commander known as Abubakar Yola who went by the alias Abu Jihad was shot dead in a shootout while trying to flee," he added.

The detained suspected gunmen would soon be produced in court, Mr Buba said.
