"I WAS PAID N100,00 TO BOMB WORSHIPPERS" - MAIDUGURI SUICIDE BOMBER CONFESSES
A suspected Boko Haram b%mber, Ibrahim Mohammed, captured by Operation Hadin Kai troops and local hunters in Yobe State, has revealed how he was recruited, paid, and deployed to att@ck worshippers at Gamboru Market Mosque in Maiduguri. Ibrahim admitted receiving up to N100,000 per mission, including the Dec. 24 b%mbing that k+lled five and inj¥red 32.
According to Zagazola Makama, Ibrahim, from Michika in Adamawa, said Boko Haram commanders Adamu and Abubakar supplied him and his colleague with IEDs. “We planted the b%mbs after Zuhur and Asr prayers when the mosque was empty. My colleague dug in the center while I worked on the side. We timed the devices for Maghrib prayers,” he confessed. Disturbingly, he returned afterward pretending to help evacuate victims.
He explained that suicide b%mbings had become a paid assignment within Boko Haram networks. “I regret my action for k+lling innocent people,” he added. Ibrahim was part of a wider t£rror cell planning multiple att@cks across the North-East under Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (JAS), Ansaru, and JNIM factions.
Security sources revealed that a Boko Haram team, led by IED expert Munzir Abu Ziyadah, prepared up to 10 person-borne explosives from Ali Ngulde camp. After the Gamboru att@ck, Ibrahim moved to Yobe to scout military and hunters’ positions for future att@cks. He was arrested in Damaturu on Dec. 29 during a raid on a suspected hideout, raising suspicion among locals.
During interrogation, Ibrahim confirmed his membership in the JAS faction from the Mandara Mountains and admitted accompanying the Gamboru Market Mosque bomber.
