A key of Boko Haram arms trafficker has been arrested in the Northern Region of Cameroon around the Waza Park, state media reports say. According to the reports, the suspect, Abdallah, was apprehended when he was carrying with him huge sums of money estimated above FCFA 7 million.

The young man who claims he is working with one Alhadj Mustafa was picked on June 16 by the elements of the legion of gendarmerie of the far North Cameroon. He is said to be a member of the Boko Haram sect involved in arms trafficking in the Northern Region.

Besides, the young man was picked in possession of a cellphone which was ringing at every second and he also had with him foreign currency (11 euros of 500 notes). Abdallah who formerly was selling fairly used cars played a major role in the release of the Italian Priest and Canadian Nun, according to Koaci news report.

It is even alleged that the young man contacted the Speaker of the National Assembly to negotiate for the release of abducted missionaries. Unconfirmed sources say Abdallah has released the name of his collaborators in the Biya regime. Two high profile ministers are being cited in the sharing of the Gombo and a Member of Parliament.
