Unconfirmed reports have it that Kabiru Sokoto the Boko Haram king pin who escaped from police custody has been re-arrested by the Nigerian Security agencies. The correspondent for AP in Nigeria also tweeted a confirmation but it remains to be seen if this report is true considering our recent history of distortions.

Kabiru Sokoto was arrested in Mutum Biu Taraba flying to Abuja alongside elder brother caught in a hut.

AIT and Channels Television have both carried the reports. While AIT quoted the SSS, Channels quoted “reliable sources.”
