The military authorities announced that a high-value target in the Boko Haram war has been captured by the police in Ondo State. According to the Director of Army Public Relations, Sani Usman, Idris Ibrahim Babawo, a top Boko Haram commander, is identified as number 156 in the Boko Haram wanted list. Mr. Babawo, 42, who also goes by the name Idoko or Nagada, was captured while trying to evade arrest. He said that Mr. Babawo escaped from the North-east because of what he described as sustained military onslaught on the insurgents. Boko Haram staged a bloody insurgency in northern Nigeria in 2009 in a bid to establish an Islamic Caliphate. But the military has decimated the group, forcing the insurgents to resort to attacking mainly soft targets in parts of northern Nigeria. At least 2.7 million people have been displaced by the insurgency, especially in Borno and Adamawa States, the epicentre of the bloody campaign.
