CPDM mayor arrested for funding Boko Haram


By Sylvanus Ezieh Acha’ana in Yaounde
 
The mayor of Fotokol in the Far North region, Ramat Moussa has been arrested for partly sponsoring the deadly Boko Haram terror group in Cameroon. Ramat was arrested on Friday, September 26, by Cameroonian security authorities after some members of the sect who were interrogated named him as one of their major sponsors.
The sect members were arrested last week in the Far North and ferried to Yaounde in a special military flight. It was during their interrogation that they named Rama Moussa as one of their major sponsors. Their arrest came after war weapons were uncovered in a villa in Kousseri.
Mayor Ramat is alleged to have been nursed the habit of always transferring Boko Haram arms in his service car to strategic operation fronts. Following security reports, a special security squad from Yaounde had on September 26 hit the Logone et Chari division for a special mission. Ramat who was the target of the mission was then apprehended later that day. He was conveyed to Yaounde where he is currently under police interrogations.
Reports also have it that the local Boko Haram leader, Mahamat Ali who is also currently under arrest has confessed having ample knowledge of the Kolofata attack and the whereabouts of abducted Amadou Ali’s wife.
Meanwhile, the operation that led to the discovery of the war arms in Kousseri culminated in the arrest of two other militants of the sect, Issaka Gare alias Modibo and Abakar Ali Ahmed alias Oumar. The discovery came on the heels of a tip-off from the local population.
