Two repentant Boko Haram members have been arrested for alleged stealing in Borno state.
The Boko Haram repentants were among 110 suspects arrested for various crimes in Borno in recent operations by the state police command.
The suspects were paraded before journalists on Friday by Borno the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Abdu Umar.
The Police Commissioner said one of the repentant Boko Haram members stole from her female employer.
Umar said the suspect said he took some items from his female employer because she allegedly refused to pay him after working for four months.
While speaking, the suspect said “she did not pay me for four months, that is why I took some of her wrappers in place of my outstanding payment.”
Other suspects were arrested for rape, kidnapping, robbery, culpable homicide, theft and other crimes.
Umar said six of the suspects were arrested for rape, five for kidnapping, five for robbery, 29 for criminal conspiracy and theft, and 15 for culpable homicide.
Umar explained that the two repentant Boko Haram members were arrested for theft.
