"I Slaughter People In 2 Minutes"-Boko Haram's Chief Butcher

 

 

The Chief butcher of Balmo Forest in Bauchi State, Zach­ariah Mohamadu (aka Ardo), was arrested by the police on the 15th of July. While speaking with  journalists in Abuja, he disclosed that it takes him just two minutes to slaughter a human being. 

30-year old Mohamadu, however claims he had slaughtered only five persons. The chief butcher said he had been a staunch member of Boko Haram for over two years.

He operated with four other pro­fessional butchers, Garba, Hassan, Muhammadu and Isawa, to carry out the crime.

He said the four colleagues would just tie the victims very well and prepare them for the slab. He said it is only after they have finished tying the victims that he would be called to perform his duty of slaughtering them.

Speaking through an interpreter, the suspect said: 

“My real name is Zacha­riah Mohamadu, but I am popularly known as Ardo in the Boko Haram sect. I am 30 years old and I am an indigene of Kaimari in Darazo Local Government Area. I have been a mem­ber of the terrorists group for the past two years and I started working with them at Daura in Bauchi State.

“I belong to a group of five butch­ers, Garba, Hassan, Mohammadu, Isawa and myself making a total of five butchers that operated at Balmo Forest. Out of the five, my duty is to slaughter while the remaining four had to tie the victims with rope and make them ready for me to kill. I have slaughtered only five people and it takes only two minutes to slaughter a human being,” he said.

Parading the suspect before newsmen in Abuja yesterday, the Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, said the police decided to parade the suspect, who was arrested at Balmo Forest before newsmen to debunk the rumour that he (Mohamadu) had escaped from police custody.

Mba told journalists,

"You will recall that on July 15, the police command did issue a press statement over the arrest of a high profile terrorist by the name, Zachariah Mohamadu. The sus­pect was arrested by policemen on the fringes of the Balm Forest and since he was taken into custody, investigations gathered through revelations by the suspect have clearly shown that he is an active participant in so many terror­ist operations.

"His area of speciality is butchering of human beings and he indeed said it during your interaction with him. He has participated in so many high profile attacks including an attack on a Customs checkpoint that led to the loss of lives of some of our colleagues in the Customs.
