Residents of Gwange area in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital
have restricted their women from going out in the evening, following
reports that Boko Haram members have now resorted to disguising as
women, putting on female dresses while perpetrating evils and using the
same method as a means of escaping arrest by soldiers and vigilante
youth in the area.
DailyPost gathered that, four Boko Haram members were arrested on
Saturday in Gwange ward, wearing women’s clothing and trying to escape
arrest as a result of pressure mounted on them in the area by the
vigilante youth who have been seriously hunting for the sect members
particularly in Gwange area of the city.
According to a resident of Gwange, who pleaded not to be mentioned,
the sect members are also wearing female clothing to hide their weapons
in order to go and commit evil. “They have been doing that for a long
time according to one of them who was arrested last month in Gwange and
since that time, so many of them have been arrested and handed over to
the security.” He said.
Speaking on whether the soldiers are killing them, he said, “They
have been arresting them, but killing them, we do not know, because the
soldiers always carry them to the JTF headquarters.”
According to him, even those that were arrested with ‘hijab’ last
week Saturday,were beaten up by youth and handed over to the military
for further interrogation.
