‘Chief Butcher’ Zakari Mohammed Ardo
The ‘Chief Butcher’ of the Boko Haram sect, Zakari Mohammed Ardo, yesterday, said he is the chairman of the group’s butchering committee made up of five people.
Ardo, who gave a chilling description of how the terrorist group used to slaughter their victims, said it takes only two minutes to butcher victims and enemies condemned to death.
Speaking further he stated that the other members will hold down the already tired victim while he cuts off the head.
The ‘Chief Butcher’ speaking through an interpreter in Kanuri, claims to be 30 years old and from Darazo Local Government Area of Bauchi State, said: “I joined the Boko Haram group two years ago. Before I was arrested, I have slaughtered five people.”
Meanwhile, yesterday, the police paraded the ‘Chief Butcher‘ to show Nigerians that he was still in the police custody following report that he had escaped.
The Police Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Frank Mba, said: “For the past few days, there has been very strong rumours that the suspect escaped from custody, it is primarily in response to that, that we have decided to bring him out to interact with you in the best culture of transparency of policing operations.
“The suspect, as a high profile member of the insurgent group, was being investigated to extract some information that would be relevant in the fight against terror, hence his detention in an unknown Police facility was of utmost importance to the force.
“The Police had informed the media of the arrest of the ‘Chief Butcher’ last month and taken into custody on July 12, while he was fleeing from Bauchi at the Balmo forest camp of the group.
“He was said to have actively participated and was linked with the slaughter of seven people including women and children.”
