Also, the leader of the group, Abubakar Shekau who was said to have fled Nigeria when their camps were 'swept' by the military was reportedly recruiting fresh hands for renewed terrorist insurgency in Nigeria.
Director, Defence Information, Brigadier-General Olukolade said on Thursday in Abuja that the group's focus is on attacking Nigeria-Niger Republic border towns.
"Intelligence operatives of the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) had been on the trail of the leader until he was eventually arrested in Karanga, Niger Republic on Saturday with the cooperation of Nigerian Forces. His other accomplices were later picked up in other villages in Nigeria.
They are currently being interrogated," Olukolade said.
