President Muhammadu Buhari has, meantime, declared that the days of Boko Haram are numbered just as the United Nations Secretary-General, Mr Ban Ki-Moon, commended his determination to fight Boko Haram
Military sources in Abuja said the terrorist kingpin responsible for the Jos and Zaria bombings was arrested at a checkpoint in Dadin Kowa, Gombe State.
The alleged mastermind was said to have disguised and hid in a trailer in order to beat security but was spotted by eagle-eyed members of the Special Task Force. He was arrested with two alleged accomplices.
“The arrested terrorists are currently being processed for further action and would soon face the full wrath of the law,” the source said.
According to the source, the arrests were made possible by a swift action of the STF which established a security cordon in the general areas, especially along Bauchi, Gombe and the North Eastern part of the country immediately after the Jos blasts.
Suspected Boko Haram terrorists had carried out coordinated bomb and gun attacks on worshippers at Ýan Taya mosque, Dillimi Street, off Bauchi Road, Jos where worshipers had gathered for a Ramadan tafsir, and Shagalinku Restaurant, along Bauchi Road, Jos.
Forty eight persons were reportedly killed in the two attacks, while scores were also injured and property destroyed.

The UN chief strongly condemned the attacks by Boko Haram in the Lake Chad Basin countries, including the deliberate targeting of Christian and Muslim worshipers during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in Borno and Yobe States.
He extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and further renewed his calls to support the operationalisation of the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) through the provision of the requisite political, logistical and financial resources.
