**BOKO HARAM!** 8 Women Arrested For Using Purdah To Smuggle Arms In Borno Eight women may have been arrested in Maiduguri by the JTF operatives for using their veils to conceal guns for insurgents. A JTF source, who made this known did not say exactly when the women were arrested and the number of guns seized from them. He stated that the operatives were stunned when they stopped the women and found out that what they were “transporting” with their veils were guns. He said, “The troops could not believe what they saw. A soldier just suspected the women and decided to stop them but when they were asked to unwrap what they were transporting, they hesitated, thereby making some of the soldiers to forcefully remove the veils. They saw a number of guns neatly concealed with the veils and the women were promptly arrested.” Olukolade said that the JTF in the North-East had intensified patrols in the north of Borno where 44 people were killed by Boko Haram members during an attack on a mosque on Sunday. He added that the JTF was combining aerial and ground patrols to ensure effective protection of the communities in the area. The DHQ spokesman said, “There is a regular and more aggressive patrol in the area; the patrols have been increased with the additional troops that are on the ground. “It is not possible to station troops in all the villages in the area because they are very far from each other.The solution is to step up patrols; we also have air patrol activities.” Report any suspicious persons and object to the law enforcement agencies, as that will save lives.
