DSS Disrupts Boko Haram's Spying Network At Abuja Airport, Arrests Teenager

BEVERLY HILLS, August 29, (THEWILL) – The Department of State Service (DSS), said it has disrupted a spying network mounted by the Boko Haram terrorists at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

This, it added, was the result of the arrest of a suspected Boko Haram terrorist, a teenager identified as Sulaiymon Abdulraman from Kogi.

The DSS in a statement Saturday by Tony Opuiyo, said the arrest was the result of collaboration with the aviation security personnel of the International Airport.

“The Service, in liaison with aviation security of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, disrupted a spying network mounted by the Boko Haram terrorists on Aug. 24.”

“In the process, a fourteen (14) year old Sulaiymon ABDULRAMAN (a.k.a Sunday Ajayi), of Kogi State was apprehended.”

“ABDULRAMAN has disclosed among others that he infiltrated the airport with the assistance of one Dauda Sadiq (a.k.a Peter) who is presently at large.”

“ABDULRAMAN further revealed that Dauda SADIQ directed him to spy on the installation and pass to him information in respect of travelers' movement including passenger screening, boarding procedures and other processes in the departure and arrival halls”, the statement said.

It said the Service was working closely with major aviation stakeholders, especially the aviation security, to forestall any possible attack and to ensure adequate security at airports.

“This is aside other measures which have been put in place to ensure protection of lives and property across the country”, it said.

The statement urged members of the public to remain vigilant and patriotic by being security-conscious at all times.

It urged the public to report all cases and persons of suspicious character to the nearest security agency.

“The public is further enjoined to assist with information that could be useful in stamping out insecurity,” the DSS said.
