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.
