Muslim Yusuf: Boko Haram Founder’s Son Arrested at 18
Published 1 year ago
Description
History just repeated itself. In 2009, Boko Haram’s founder Mohammed Yusuf was paraded in custody before he was unalived. Sixteen years later, his teenage son Muslim Yusuf has been arrested in Chad. Reports say he was already leading a small ISWAP cell … but Nigerian intelligence unmasked him, and the truth came out.
This is the first time a major Boko Haram faction head has been caught alive. Does this change the war, or is it just one more chapter?
