Arrested Boko Haram Members
Senegalese police say they have arrested a suspected recruiter for the Boko Haram Islamic extremist group.
Senegalese authorities said, on Wednesday, they arrested the Nigerian, whose identity was not disclosed, on April 1, in a Dakar suburb.
Police said the suspect was known to Nigerian intelligence agencies and had been in Mauritania for some months before coming to Senegal to recruit on behalf of Boko Haram.
Senegal police also said they arrested two Moroccans at the international airport, who had been linked to the Islamic State group.
The two men, who police said came from a Syrian refugee camp in Turkey, denied association with the extremist group.
Police, however, the suspects came to Senegal for its proximity to Morocco.
