Before the attack we came from Jilli and returned there after the attack. I was sent from Jilli yesterday with 850,000 naira to collect some logistics from NGAMDU but I was arrested by troops. Yesterday Saturday I left other fighters my colleagues at Jilli, I don’t know what happened to them there.
He was arrested by the Troops of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) on Sunday.
