The Department of State Security (DSS) yesterday paraded Bello Danhajiya, a Fulani from Zamfara State and a strategic accomplice of Al-Barnawi.
Danhajiya, who is presumed to be second in command, disclosed his involvement in gun-running, cattle rustling and other nefarious criminal activities principally on the directives of his commander, Al-Barnawi.
It would be recalled that the service had announced last week the arrest of Khalid Al-Barnawi, known for his leadership and notoriety in terrorism activities in Nigeria.
Nigerians were also informed of his talent-spotting and recruitment of young people into the Ansaru/Boko Haram terrorist groups.

According to the bereaved family, the boy was murdered by his school mates who had invited him to the hotel for a party, and dumped in the pool.
Their position, according to the family, is that when the boy reportedly drowned, the rest of the students who were dressed in all black at the function, did not raise any alarm and were about leaving the hotel premises when the security asked them about the last person in their team, but they casually said he was still enjoying himself inside the pool.

Dual Citizenship: Ben Murray Bruce wins court case
Silverbird chairman, Ben Murray Bruce has won the court case challenging his right to occupy the office of a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, having sworn to an oath of allegiance to the United States of America. The common sense Senator tweeted the news just hours ago. Ben Murray Bruce was back in 2011 screened out of the Bayelsa governorship race by the Gubernatorial Screening Appeal Committee of the PDP in Bayelsa State, for possessing dual citizenship. Also in 2015, one of the contestants in the Bayelsa East Senatorial District election, Chief Anthony George Ikoli SAN, asked the court to determine whether a man with dual citizenship, who swore to an oath repudiating his citizenship of the country of birth can aspire to become a Senator of the same country, particularly Nigeria under section 66 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
