The Borno Police Command said on Monday that it had placed a self-proclaimed former spokesperson of the Boko Haram sect, Ali Konduga, under psychiatric investigation.
This, the police said, followed Mr. Konduga’s display of abnormal behaviour since his arrest last week.
Victor Isuku, the spokesman of the command, said this in a statement he issued in Maiduguri.
Mr. Isuku said that Konduga was arrested after a complaint by one Muhammadu Kala.
“On September 14, one Muhammadu Kala lodged a complaint at the GRA Police Station, Maiduguri, that Mallam Ali konduga of Gwange ward had trespassed into the premises of the house of Senator Muhammed Ndume.
“The DPO led a team of policemen to arrest the trespasser where he had gone to receive treatment for injuries he sustained as a result of a mob action,” Isuku said.
The police spokesman said that investigation, however, revealed that the suspect was of unsound mind.
