A medical doctor who consults for the Islamist sect Boko Haram, and at the same time a consultant with the World Heath Organization(WHO) has been arrested by the Joint Task Force, JTF, in Borno state.
Sources say the arrest of the medical doctor followed by a tip off that the terrorist had a well organized mobile facility with which wounded insurgents are treated.
International human rights watch dog Amnesty international, was said to have sent its officials to investigate the circumstance surrounding the supposedly WHO consultant, laying credence with connection of the suspected international connection of the doctor.
“Infact, what gave him out was his case suit containing sophisticated equipments with which he provided diagnosis service to the terrorists”, a source said.
“A truck suspected to be carrying insurgents and IEDS as well as other dangerous weapons was stopped at a check point but it sped off, unknown to the truck drivers and other occupants that there was another check point which has been alerted they were coming. When the truck got to the check point, the security operatives fired at it, while the occupants ran into the bush.
“When the truck was searched, various types of IEDS, AK 47 RIFLES, and other bomb materials were found. Also found was a brief case, containing sophisticated medical equipment. After sometime, when the doctor thought the special force has left, he came back to retrieve the suit case but was ambushed and arrested”, a source said.
The source said further “Immediately the doctor was arrested, Amnesty international was calling the military authorities alleging that an innocent doctor has being arrested by the JTF forces and should be released because of his human rights, though the military authorities are not moved by plea”
