Nigerian military clears Nigerien camel rearer first reported as Moroccan ISIS suspect
The Nigerian military has cleared a Nigerien camel rearer who was earlier reported by a pro-military blog as a suspected Moroccan member of the Islamic State (ISIS), saying investigations found no evidence linking him to any terrorist group.
The 14 July report further alleged that the man had been flown aboard a Nigerian Air Force helicopter to a secure military facility for intensive interrogation over suspected links to ISIS’s transnational network.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the acting spokesperson for Operation Hadin Kai, Mohammed Goni, identified the man as Aboubakar Zein-Nur, also known as Houdairi, and said he was detained during military operations but has now been cleared after intelligence assessments and investigations.
